Speakers

David A. Weeshoff
Dave’s introduction to birds occurred when he came a volunteer and docent with
International Bird Rescue in San Pedro. While rehabilitating sick, injured, orphaned,
and oiled aquatic birds, it became apparent the water quality in our area was affecting
the health of the animals. In response to this, Dave joined the Speaker’s Bureau of
Heal the Bay, an environmental organization dedicated to improving the water quality
of the world’s oceans, especially marine plastic pollution.
He is Vice-President and Conservation Chair for Pasadena Audubon Society
As a frequent speaker to adult and children’s groups on avian and environmental
issues for International Bird Rescue, Heal the Bay, and Pasadena Audubon Society
he shares the amazing world of birds and the anthropomorphic impacts on their
survival.
He is keenly interested in avian physiology, their evolution, behaviors, habitats, and
especially Anthropogenic Climate Change, and is quite familiar with the National
Audubon Society’s Climate Change initiatives.
Dave travels frequently in search of interesting aquatic birds and mammals, including
trips to the Antarctic, Iceland, Greenland, Nunavut (Arctic Canada), Galapagos, New
Zealand, Alaska National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), Chilean Patagonia, Midway Atoll,
