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!

Fall = pumpkin carving time!
Back on October 16th I had Sam Dorr and Theresa Clark over for pumpkin carving at my house. Besides carving, we BBQ'd some brats and veggies, and had chili while we roasted pumpkin seeds in the oven. The weather was perfect outside for carving our pumpkins that evening. It was nice to see all the oaks and aspens stopping production of chlorophyll with the colder nights, giving way to the hidden colorful pigments in their leaves. All of Flagstaff seemed to be covered with a golden-orange hue. For my pumpkin, I decided to do something atypical since I hadn't carved one in 6+ years. So, I carved a hummingbird visiting a penstemon flower:
