Herps, Odes and Birds
Troy has a Master’s Degree in Biology and worked as a high school science teacher for 31 years. Now retired, he divides his time between personal outdoor activities and guiding birders, both independently and as a consultant with Birding Texas and Beyond. His love of the outdoors began early in a household where his father had similar interests. Their initial focus was herpetology, but birds were always part of the equation. Eventually, that passion grew to include dragonflies, damselflies, butterflies, cacti, scorpions, regional mammals, and many other interests.
Troy’s enthusiasm for the natural world is contagious. He has birded in all 254 Texas counties and serves as an eBird reviewer for six counties in Southwest Texas, supporting data quality and helping birders contribute meaningful observations.
