John Yerger, Assistant Director of Borderland Tours, facetiously describes himself as a “recovering ornithologist.” In reality, his enthusiasm for bird behavior remains contagious. In 2006, John helped set new records for 11 of the 12 monthly “Big Day” records for the state of Arizona. John has served on the Board of Directors of the Arizona Field Ornithologists, the Arizona Bird Committee, and as a member of the editing team for Tucson Audubon’s Finding Birds in Southeast Arizona. When he’s not peering through birding optics, he can often be found squinting at a computer screen in the Borderland Tours office. Show tours with John.
