In 2008, on her first birding trip to Costa Rica with guide Edwin Ramirez, Kathleen Cameron saw firsthand how human disturbance and habitat loss and degradation negatively impact the breeding and wintering grounds of North American and Central American birds. She came home determined to foster an increased awareness of the impact of habitat destruction on the northern and southern hemispheres. A photographer and videographer, she developed a multimedia presentation highlighting the ecological connections between North and South America, including the migration connection, the role that humans play in habitat destruction and restoration, and the stunning beauty of the birds and their habitats.
Kathleen Cameron resides in Bellevue, Idaho, where she leads bird walks, conducts bird surveys, and serves as subregional editor for North American Birds, an American Birding Association publication. She has photographed or videotaped more than 600 of the world’s birds. After traveling to Costa Rica and meeting Edwin Ramirez, she organized birding tours to Costa Rica (www.majesticfeathers.com).
