Zach earned his Ph.D at the University of Windsor, Ontario, focusing on the flight-calling behavior and in-flight ecology of migratory songbirds in the Great Lakes region. Zach’s doctoral studies were supported by a Trillium Scholarship from the Government of Ontario. Growing up in the rural Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan, Zach became fascinated by the amazing spectacle of songbird migration as a young birder, and has been a passionate naturalist ever since. In addition to birding, Zach loves hiking, skiing, and canoeing in wild landscapes. Zach also enjoys wine making, making maple syrup, and foraging for wild foods.
