Trip Leader: Dave Keeling

Dave Keeling, trained as a chemist, taught at Cal Poly for over 35 years. He has been a serious amateur photographer since high school, with an initial emphasis on landscapes, but drifted and evolved to wildlife, and in the last 20 years to bird photography. He has photos of over 2,000 bird species, with 350 in San Luis Obispo County. He reports his best asset to be dogged persistence.
