Matt Sadowski has been birding Southern California and Baja since age ten. He is a consulting biologist monitoring Snowy Plovers and Least Terns and has served as a pelagic bird expert on NOAA research cruises.. Matt is an eBird reviewer for San Diego, Orange and Imperial County records and as such serves as a patient mentor for many newer birders as they struggle with identification.
An accomplished pelagic birder and photographer - many of the photos of pelagic rarites on SoCal Birding were photographed by Matt - he has sharp eyes and a keen ability to identifly distant pelagic birds by their gizz. Matt discovered a first San Diego record Red-necked Stint on San Diego's Silver Strand in the fall of 2008.
