Chris Swarth is the assistant editor of the journal and chair of the editorial committee. He’s a retired ecologist and field station director. Shorebirds and other water birds are his favorite group of birds and he’s been able to study them on SF Bay, Hudson Bay, and Alaska. He’s excited to see the recent changes to our journal and the growing number of younger contributors.
