Meet David Lukas

David Lukas is a well known naturalist and writer who got his start right here in Portland. We knew him in the beginning, working with David in our shops and learning from him as he so expertly led bird walks for Backyard Bird Shop.

After getting his start at the Backyard Bird Shop , David Lukas continues to work as a birding tour leader and writer (www.sierranaturalist.com). He currently lives on the edge of Yosemite National Park and leads custom birding tours in the park (http://www.yexplore.com/birding.htm). He is also the author of several books including Watchable Birds of the Great Basin, Wild Birds of California, and Sierra Nevada Natural History, and he is wrapping up work on a field guide to birds of the Sierra Nevada.
