More about David Yee
David started actively birding at the very young age of 10. By the time he was in high school birding had became his favorite hobby and passion. He went to college at UC Santa Cruz, majored in biology, and bird science was always his focus. David went on to become a full-time chemist, but birding remained his passion, and according to his wife of 35+ years, his obsession.
David is considered the top birder and field ornithologist in his native San Joaquin County, and is one of the top birders in the Central Valley. He has authored the Annotated Checklist of the Birds of San Joaquin County. He was a Regional Editor of North American Birds, Northern California Region from 1986-1994.
David has traveled throughout the state of California, birding its every corner. He has traveled extensively throughout the US in pursuit of birds, and has made numerous visits to Mexico, Central America, and Southeast Asia as well.
David has been an active field trip leader and bird teacher since his college days. He has led numerous birding tours throughout the US and Central American for decades. He has always made sharing birds a high priority in his birding career, and loves people more than birds (which is saying a lot!).
David is a past president of San Joaquin Audubon, the Central Valley Bird Club, and the Western Field Ornithologists. He and his wife helped start the Central Valley Birding Symposium in 1997, and he continues to serve on the steering committee.
