Gabriel Willow
Gabriel Willow has been a nature enthusiast and birder since he was a small child. He grew up in rural Maine, where he roamed the woods and fields, catching frogs and watching woodcocks. In his teens he traveled to Arizona, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming to study birds, learning how to use mist-nets and to catch and band birds. He went on to study Ecology in college, his studies taking him to the mountains of Vermont and to southern Mexico, where he traveled, studying and painting the endemic avifauna off and on for five years. In 2003 he moved to New York, hoping to pursue an art school dream, but instead was drawn once again to nature and birds, becoming a Teacher-Naturalist with the Prospect Park Audubon Center, and leading tours for Wave Hill, New York City Audubon, and others.
