Dave Compton is a native of Tennessee who lived a previous life in publishing before discovering birds in the early 1990s. From that point, he birded like mad around his adopted home in Santa Barbara, California, while making the gradual transition from professional editor to full-time biologist. He has served as Santa Barbara County's subregional editor for North American Birds since 2000, coordinated the Santa Barbara Audubon Society's Spring Seabird Migration Census in Goleta for four years, and served on the California Bird Records Committee in 2006-2008.
