Everything about David Allen Sibley totally explained
David Allen Sibley (born
1962,
New York) is an American
ornithologist. He is the author and illustrator of
The Sibley Guide to Birds, considered by many to be the most comprehensive guide for North American field identification.
Life and Work
The son of
Yale University ornithologist
Fred Sibley, David Sibley began birding in childhood. A largely self-taught bird illustrator, he was inspired to pursue creating his own illustrated field guide after leading tours in the 1980s and 1990s and finding that existing field guides didn't generally illustrate or describe alternate or juvenile plumages of birds, citing European wildlife artist
Lars Jonsson as a great influence on his own work.
He is married, with two sons, and currently lives in
Concord, Massachusetts. He isn't known to be related to ornithologist
Charles Sibley, although his father studied under and worked for Charles at Yale. Charles did some genealogical research but found they could be no closer than fourth cousins.
