Josh Vandermeulen

Josh is a professional Field Biologist and is an active and well-known member of Ontario’s (Canada) naturalist community. He regularly travels the province in pursuit of his two core interests, field herpetology and ornithology. In 2012, he broke the Ontario “Big Year” birding record by seeing more bird species in a single year than anyone else previously. Josh’s interests in ecology and travel have led him to places such as Panama, Morocco, Portugal and Colombia in recent years. He is a wildlife photographer with a special interest in reptile and amphibian macrophotography. Josh is the current regional editor for the Ontario winter season bird report and is also the Chair of the Ontario Bird Records Committee.
