David Sibley wrote a series of awesome books about birding and the Sibley guide to trees, which is very strange because he is an American ornithologist. They talk about 800+ bird species of the US and Canada.

 
They talk about birds from Abert's towhees (medium sized red songbird) to zone-tailed hawks in just a few books. Mr. Sibley has also written a preface in a book about his adventures in creating the two field guides to birds of North America. Sibley lives in Concord, Massachusetts with his wife and two sons.

He travels all over the northeastern USA going birding. Also, He is 62 years old, and he was born October 22, 1961. Sibley also travels across North America leading birding tours, and he is an awesome bird painter. Also, he made a 2nd edition to his books the ‘Sibley Birds West’ and ‘Sibley Birds East’ 2016.

 
He is so important, because he has created field guides to North America that help birders with bird identification.
