Megan Crewe has been birding since childhood, when she discovered she could have her father all to herself (rather than sharing him with her brothers and sisters) if she was willing to get up very early on Saturdays and tromp around the woods in search of birds. After graduating from Purdue University (where the veterinary school did her a favor by not accepting her into their class of 1983), she sampled an impressive variety of jobs before discovering Field Guides. Since joining the company fifteen years ago, Megan--who brims with information and enthusiasm--has delighted in sharing the wonders and adventures of birding and the natural world with tour participants.

One unexpected bonus of the job was meeting her husband, Mike, with whom she co-led a trip to France in 2000. After living in England for nearly a decade, they recently relocated to Cape May, where they are kept busy refurbishing an 80-year-old farmhouse (and its one-acre garden) and exploring all of Megan's old "favorite haunts." Megan also serves as council member and US representative for the Neotropical Bird Club and volunteers for the Cape May Bird Observatory. She's been leading tours for Field Guides since 1996.
