Meet Jason Bidgood
My interest in birding grew out of a life-long interest in nature and natural history. I’ve been actively birding since 2015 and joined DFO a year later in 2016. Most of my birding experience has been patch birding in the Denver metro area. I enjoy birding year-round and getting to know the common birds.
An ideal field trip to me involves walking several miles over a few hours, taking time to observe interesting bird behavior. I prefer to lead smaller groups. I typically can't be out birding all day, so my trips will be on the shorter end of the spectrum. In addition to knowing the birds I also enjoy learning about geology, native plants and insects.
Meet George Ho
Retired from medicine since 2013, George spends his time birding, performing grandfather duties, photographing birds and other wildlife, jogging, writing and facilitating courses to the lay public on end-of-life issues, birding and making photobooks online in lifelong learning venues. He then spends the remaining part of the day cooking, enjoying his meals and getting a good night's sleep so he can repeat everything the following day.
