Greg DuBois

After retiring from the nuclear electricity generation industry, Greg focused on his lifelong interest in birds and birding. He is an active member of his county Audubon chapter and the Illinois Audubon Society contributing articles and photos for chapter newsletters and the quarterly Illinois Audubon Magazine. He leads birding tours and does bird population monitoring for the U.S. Forest Service at Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie located 60 miles south of Chicago. Greg’s pursuit of new birds and bird photography has taken him to the Alaskan Arctic, the Galapagos Islands and multiple Central and South American countries.
