Jessica Griffiths has been working as a wildlife biologist for nearly 20 years. She currently works as a biologist for Althouse and Meade, Inc. in Paso Robles. Prior to moving to the SLO area, Jessica worked in Big Sur for the Ventana Wildlife Society, overseeing all of their songbird research projects and running the Big Sur Ornithology Lab for several years.

Marlin Harms became interested in nature--especially birds, wildflowers and intertidal life--and found that a camera was a great way to explore and learn, primarily with macro or telephoto lens. He started in photography many years ago and had his own black-and-white darkroom. Marlin is a member of the Morro Coast Audubon Society, California Native Plant Society, and other nature-based organizations.
