Who We Are
Welcome to behind the scenes at New Hampshire Bird Records! It takes a team of many dedicated volunteers and many hours to produce a single issue of New Hampshire Bird Records.
Managing Editor
Leading the team effort is Grace McCulloch, Managing Editor and full-time staff member at New Hampshire Audubon. With a background in wildlife biology and a Master’s degree from the University of New Hampshire, Grace has spent much of her career studying Saltmarsh Sparrows along New Hampshire’s coast. She works alongside a dedicated team of volunteers, all driven by a passion for sharing the stories of New Hampshire’s birds. Together, they bring our readers engaging insights and discoveries—because when it comes to nature, there’s always something new to learn!
Season Editors
Season Editors spend countless hours reviewing hundreds of bird reports to select the ones that typify their season. They encapsulate the bird sightings of an entire season in their season summaries. Avid birders themselves, they also spend a great deal of time in the field adding to their birding knowledge.
