Kale has had a lifelong interest in wildlife and led his first birding walk at age 15. Armed with his grandpa’s old camcorder—and a questionable Australian accent—he even produced a short documentary about his spark bird, the Great-tailed Grackle.
He has worked as an educational naturalist in the boreal forests of Denali State Park, Alaska, and completed an internship in avian husbandry at the Alaska SeaLife Center, where he cared for puffins, murres, eiders, and other Arctic seabirds.
Kale has also volunteered building homes for Burrowing Owls and assisting Arizona Field Ornithologists with tours and exploratory surveys. Arizona has been home for most of his life, and he finds deep meaning in helping others experience awe and serenity in its extraordinary natural landscapes.
