Spring is nearly here, and our minds shift away from Snowy Owl and Northern Shrikes and towards warblers, vireos, shorebirds and more. This talk seeks to help the novice birder best understand the dynamics of spring migration in Chicago and help them make the most important decision in spring - "Where should I go birding today?" This talk will cover the basics of migration timing and expected species, weather and its effects on birds/birding, and how to make the most of birding in spring. 

Adam doesn't remember a time when a pair of binoculars wasn't around his neck.  He was mentored by his father and other local birders in north Texas and later by the incredible birding community of the Chicagoland area. He is deeply involved in his local birding community, including time spent on the board of the Illinois Ornithological Society and as a member of the Illinois Ornithological Records Committee.

A former middle school teacher, Adam is a natural teacher and has found guiding clients to be his preferred classroom.  He joined Red Hill Birding full-time in 2022 after spending summers guiding across Central and North America. He now both organizes and guides tours around the globe, and works alongside Josh on the day-to-day operations of Red Hill Birding. Adam sets out to ensure that both the novice birder and world lister have an incredible experience in the field. When not birding, you can find Adam enjoying all other aspects of nature and relaxing outdoors with his wife Tiffany, and son Ian.
