About Me
- Eric Hough
- I am a birder, naturalist, wildlife biologist, and now an interpretive ranger currently working for Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department at the Hassayampa River Preserve near Wickenburg, Arizona. I spent the past several years following a career as a wildlife biologist and was a teaching assistant for a biology lab during grad school, with my education background consisting of an MS in Biology and BS in Forestry. I am an Arizona native and my past travels have taken me around most of the lower 48 United States, plus the state of Sonora in northwest Mexico. Before my current job I spent 1.5 years working as an environmental consultant in the Midwest based out of Kansas City (KS/MO), which gave me the opportunity to see a good portion of the Great Plains and Midwest region. My current travels are decidedly local, but I am hoping to travel abroad in the future when finances and work schedule allow. I am very content with my current career and happy to be doing a mix of environmental education and natural resource management at a wonderful desert oasis. I am looking forward to where this path takes me!

Galveston Island
On December 21, 2010, my aunt and uncle took us out to Galveston Island. One of the things we saw were carvings that were done of live oak trees that were thought dead after Hurricane Ike devastated the island a couple of years ago. It turned out afterwards that most of the trees were probably just dormant and not dead, but instead of chopping down the trees completely, residents had sculptures made of the tree trunks. Here are some photos of those and a sign one of the residents put out that explains the carvings:
