Voted Best Avian Educator by the Editors of the East Bay Express, Ted Pierce shares his philosophy about birding and life. Ted teaches how to enjoy bird watching in a collegial and fun manner.

At this website, you can explore Ted's upcoming tours, classes, field reports and nature essays. Look for periodic updates.
