Meet David Suddjian
I've been birding for over 35 years, beginning in California, and in Colorado since 2013. I coordinated DFO's Big Year 2018, leading 81 field trips for DFO that year. I love eBirding, and counting birds.
I lead all kinds of trips from low key local outings near my Ken Caryl JeffCo home to intense far ranging trips reaching out to all corners of the state. Overnight trips go to classic Colorado birding locations, and sometimes we even camp! I like to explore areas, county birding, back roads, cemeteries and sewage lagoons, developing birding by ear skills, and helping birders to appreciate the patterns of migration, seasonal occurrence and habitat associations. I love the camaraderie of DFO field trips, the new friendships that grow, and the opportunities for birders to have FUN in the field!
Meet Ryan Corda
I’ve been birding since March 2024 and have been in love with it ever since! I don't think there's a habitat I haven’t enjoyed exploring, nor a style of birding I haven’t loved doing, so I hope to explore a bit of everything in the trips I lead. I’m excited to get out into the field with fellow birders and expand our knowledge and appreciation of birds together!
If I'm not out birding, you could probably find me rock climbing, walking my dog, or at the movies (the first two of which are almost certainly involving some passive birding, anyway).
