David Sibley is the author and illustrator of The Sibley Guide to Birds, considered by many to be the most comprehensive guide for North American field identification. He began painting birds when he was seven years old and continued painting them for over three decades. Sibley is recognized as America’s leading ornithologist/illustrator and the preeminent brand in American birding. His presentation is sponsored by the Houston Audubon Society, Wells Fargo Advisors, Houston Wilderness, Galveston Bay Foundation, Gulf Coast Bird Observatory, Rice University Shell Center for Sustainability, and Center for the Study of Environment and Society. The FeatherFest Express is hosted by two of FeatherFest’s local birding experts, Alice Anne O’Donell and Mort Voller.
