Don Roberson
Don Roberson is the author of five published books on the birds of Monterey and California. He has also authored a compendium of information on birds on his prodigious website CREAGRUS.
In 1989 Don served as seabird surveyor on the NOAA research vessel McArthur on a four-month journey throughout the Pacific. He has published major identification papers on Cookilaria petrels, small black and white shearwaters and boobies. He served on the California Bird Record Committee for 13 years and managed to do all this in addition to his extensive world birding adventures.
Don has the uncanny ability to tell when we venture out of Monterey County waters without using instrumentation!
