John C. Robinson – Author, Speaker, Ornithologist

Award-winning ornithologist and wildlife biologist John C. Robinson has introduced thousands of people all over the world to the joys of bird watching for over thirty years. In his latest title, Birding for Everyone, Encouraging People of Color to Become Birdwatchers, he encourages the appreciation of nature through birding. John also explores the curious lack of a minority presence in the birding community and offers new solutions for changing the face of conservation through birding. As the U.S. population continues to diversify, minority involvement in environmental issues will become ever more vital to long-term conservation efforts and the preservation of the earth's natural resources.

John Robinson featured
The Wildlife Professional 2011
For some 26 years, Robinson worked as a biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and then the U.S. Forest Service, carving out some ‘spare time’ in 1994 to launch LANIUS Software, to sell his books and software he coded. He changed the name to On My Mountain in 2003, when he began to offer birding and wildlife-watching tours. During all these years, he’s often heard variations of, “I’ve never seen a black birdwatcher before.” Hoping to change that experience, Robinson took early retirement in 2005 to devote himself to his mission of expanding the pool of minorities who enjoy nature, wildlife, and wild places. How does he hope to do this? By encouraging children to go outside to observe, study, and enjoy birds.
