David Wimpfheimer, is a biologist and a professional naturalist and guide with a passion for birds and the natural history of the West. During thirty years of excursions, David has imparted a great deal of information about all aspects of nature.
From whale-watching expeditions to wildflower forays, David takes great pleasure in guiding people on treasure hunts. David's seasoned focus and knowledge, make for an enjoyable and educational outing. Along with the intended, nature's unpredictability might present you with the unexpected excitement of a unique bird behavior; or a mammalian critter, such as a hunting bobcat or meandering coyote. Lizards, butterflies, reptiles, might go scooting by. Trees, lichen, fungi and even paw prints may be in your path. With David's patient guidance, you will receive positive looks and explanations for all these outdoor wonders.
David's nature excursions are from a generalist's point of view. Even though David is most passionate about birds and the majority of his excursions are geared toward teaching and interpreting the language of the avian world; he is just as comfortable and enthusiastic educating humans about all the wonders of nature.
