About Seabrooke

I am a writer, illustrator, photographer, and generally a wearer of many hats. I live in southern Ontario, currently to be found wandering the woods of the Frontenac Axis north of Kingston in eastern Ontario. I grew up on five acres in the countryside west of Toronto, where I learned to appreciate nature and all of the creatures in it.

I pursued this interest through university, where I obtained my B.Sc.H. in Zoology from the University of Guelph. Upon graduating I spent a number of years travelling to do bird research contracts, and volunteering with the Tommy Thompson Park Bird Research Station in Toronto. During this period one thing lead to another, as things often do, and I find myself now turning to writing and art as a career direction.

I am currently involved in a number of projects, including a collaboration with my friend, the Moth Man on a field guide to the common moths of northeastern North America, to be part of the Peterson Field Guide series, as well as illustrations for a field guide for the birds of Brazil, and a more local book similar to the recently-published Birds of Hamilton, but for a different county.

More of my artwork and photography can be viewed at my website.

    I enjoy your site and hoped to see your work at the link above.
    It doesn’t seem to be working?

    Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Nina! I recently bought a domain, and it seems the application of the domain to the site has caused the previous address to stop functioning? I’ll have to look into that, but in the meantime the link should be fixed now.

    I happened upon your blog by following a link from Laura in NJ. Yours is beautifully written and superbly illustrated. I like to read what fellow Canadians are writing.

    Thanks, Ruth, glad you enjoy it! I do like reading what others from Canada, and particularly Ontario, are seeing, too.

    Very nice blog. My name is Jason A. Hendricks. I am the Recruiting Director for Skinny Moose Media–one of the world’s largest outdoor media networks, as well as Editor for U.S. Outdoors Today. I am interested in perhaps talking to you about joining our blogging team. We offer free domains, free blog hosting, and a full technical support team, a great community of like-minded individuals who believe in the value of the great outdoors. Since you currently blog with wordpress, this would be a very easy move–with everything transferable. We also offer advertising opportunities on your blog that wordpress.com just will not allow.

    If you would like more information, please feel free to personally email at theadventurist@cliffhanger.com.

    Cheers-
