Krista Kagume
Krista Kagume began birding with her father at the family cabin in Manitoba. At 17 she began her travels across North America and abroad. After dabbling in several jobs including newspaper reporter, deckhand on a commercial fishing boat, cycle tour guide, helicopter mechanic and wildlife technician, she felt ready to attend university. Earning her B.Sc. in conservation biology Krista was able to combine her two greatest passions: nature and writing. Author of numerous natural history books and articles, Krista is actively involved in a variety of ecological projects. Whether surveying raptors or monitoring tiny tundra plants she is most content exploring the outdoors. An avid cyclist, Krista loves going off the beaten track in search of wildlife and plants.
