Birding in Marin County "I have been on a number of birding trips sponsored by Marin Audubon Society that Ken has led. On every trip we have had 15 to 35 people. He has always managed to keep everyone in the group involved and interested in the birding whether they are just beginners or expert birders. His knowledge is extremely good, from calls to field marks to habitat and life histories of the various species seen. He shares this knowledge in a way that lets everyone learn. It is always an enjoyable trip when Ken is leading. I never miss one." - Bruce Bajema, Field Trip Committee Chair, Marin Audubon Society "It's a real treat to have a birder of Ken Burton's caliber and knowledge of birding spots leading field trips. His trips are always well attended and much appreciated." - Lillian Fujii, former Field Trip Committee Chair, Golden Gate Audubon Society "There are a lot of great birders out there who know how to identify birds, but there are few who can really teach people about birds in the field. Ken is the kind of guide who does a lot more than just point out the birds and move on, he illustrates the natural history and behavioral aspects of the species and leaves you knowing more about how each bird fills a unique niche. I have watched Ken work with large groups and have always been impressed with his ability to make sure that everyone in the group gets a chance to see the subject of discussion." - David Herlocker, former Marin County Open Space District Naturalist
