Richard Cachor Taylor Hiking up to 500 miles each summer for eight years while conducting research on the Elegant Trogon, developed an intimate knowledge of the birds, habitats and locations throughout Southeastern Arizona. In 1977, Richard Cachor Taylor reported the first Eared Trogon seen in the United States. Inevitably, his interest in trogon ecology led him south into Mexico and Central America, where he soon discovered the magic of other tropical birds. In 1980 Rick founded Borderland Tours. Responsible ecotourism, he believes, provides an economic incentive for the preservation of plant and wildlife communities throughout the world. Aside from leading tours to locations, Rick has authored location checklists for finding birds in Arizona's Chiricahua and Huachuca Mountains. See less
