Dr. Matt Fraker is a lifelong resident of southern Illinois where he owns and practices at the Prairie Oak Veterinary Center. As a very young child, he started both birding and coming out to Wyoming with his family. He has continued to do both for all of his life. Matt is the current Wyoming regional editor for the American Birding Association's (ABA's) North American Birds journal, a quarterly publication that focuses on avian distributional data throughout North and Central America. He also serves as a director on the ABA board, chairing the Recording Standards and Ethics Committee. Email Matt:

Don Jones was born and raised in Laramie, Wyoming, where his father introduced him to birding at a young age. Although newer on the birding scene than the rest of our eBird team, he prides himself on his knowledge of geography and bird distribution in Wyoming. Don currently spends most of his time in Vermont, where he's pursuing a degree in Environmental Studies and Conservation Biology at Middlebury College, but he always looks forward to returning to bird in his home state. He especially enjoys sharing his knowledge of the birds of Wyoming with others, so feel free to contact him. Email Don:
