Author Bio:

A lifelong resident of Southeastern Arizona, Rick Taylor conducted an eight-year-long study of the Elegant Trogon that led to the publication of Trogons of the Arizona Borderlands in 1994. During the course of his research he reported the first Eared Quetzal seen in the U.S. In 1980 Rick founded Borderland Tours, a birding travel company dedicated to responsible ecotourism as communities. In 1995 the American Birding Association published his A Birder's Guide to Southeastern Arizona, which he revised in 2005. Taylor is also the author of location bird checklists for both the Huachuca and the Chiricahua Mountains.
