Tod Winston
Tod Winston grew to love birds as a child in rural Pennsylvania, in the company of his nature-loving father. He particularly enjoys bringing new people to the joy of birds via NYC Audubon's Beginning Birding course, and helping birders of all levels improve their ability to "bird by ear." A lover of foreign languages and music, Tod is constantly working to improve his own understanding of the musical language of birds. He is a proponent of "slow birding"—pausing to appreciate the mysterious activity and beauty of even the most common species—and also enjoys focusing on flowers, trees and related issues of evolution and ecology. In addition to his role as a birding guide, Tod is NYC Audubon's associate director of content and led the organization's Harbor Herons Nesting Survey from 2014 to 2021.
