Get to know me:
Welcome, fellow animal lovers,
I am Jeff Babson. Here is a little about me and how it all started...
I have always been interested in the natural world. I was always out in the forests, fields, and marshes near my home, just seeing what I could find. It all fascinated me and continues to do so today. I earned a B.S. in Biology, which was helpful. But the real learning takes place out in the field. I have been leading tours in southern Arizona since 1999.
