Zach Adams

About the Author

Birds have lured Zach Adams on adventures in varied ecosystems throughout New England, across the United States, and even abroad. He has trudged through alder swamps, trotted through bogs, and canoed oxbows of the Housatonic River. Throughout his career in conservation—working with National Audubon, Mass Audubon, and Northwest Connecticut Land Conservancy—Zach’s knowledge and enthusiasm have helped hundreds of people connect with birds. He has also spotted county-first bird species two years in a row. It’s not unusual to find him hunched over a spotting scope in a tropical rainstorm, but he also enjoys quieter moments fly-fishing in New England’s mountain streams. Zach lives in Ashley Falls, Massachusetts, with his wife, Evelyn.
