Steve Shunk Stephen Shunk rode his first Mono Lake Bike-A-Thon without ever having seen the lake itself. After his first view of Mono Lake, Steve became a Monophile for life. Since then, Steve has become an accomplished professional naturalist, leading birding tours from Alaska to Borneo and speaking at birding festivals across North America and beyond. In 1997, Steve co-founded the East Cascades Bird Conservancy and the Oregon Birding Trails program. Over the last 20 years, he has become a pathological woodpecker fanatic, and his first book, Peterson Reference Guide to Woodpeckers of North America, will be available for signing at the event. Steve’s infectious enthusiasm for birds and the outdoors will leave you with many fond memories and a new appreciation for the nature that surrounds us.
