Ken Cox
Reading, Vermont, United States
My interests in Nature began in childhood and since then have become a significant part of my life both professionally and otherwise. While attending the University of New Hampshire during the early 1970s, I took an introductory ornithology course under the instruction of Dr. Arthur C. Borror and to him I credit much to my lifelong fascination with birds. Professionally I took another path (fisheries biology) but have been steadfast in my bird watching passion. Over the years I have birded extensively in the Northeast, Southeast and Southwest regions of the U. S. and volunteer considerable time as a citizen scientist to field survey projects conducted by the U. S. Geological Survey, Vermont Center for Ecological Studies and local Audubon chapter. When not enjoying our beloved Green Mountain State, my wife and I spend as much time as possible at our second home, La Querencia, in west-central New Mexico exploring the fauna, flora and natural wonders of the Land of Enchantment.
