More on Sam

After 25 years as a trial lawyer, Sam quit practicing law to devote himself to his true passions: birding, photography, writing, lecturing, and leading wildlife tours. Sam has written numerous articles for the major United States birding magazines, including WildBird, Birder's World, Birding, and Bird Watcher's Digest, as well as other nature, wildlife, and photography magazines. He also wrote several chapters on the popular new book Birdwatching, published by the Discovery Channel and Insight Guides.

Sam enjoys sharing his passion for nature with others. From his home base in Bloomfield, Connecticut, Sam performs his animated slide-illustrated lectures throughout the Northeast. In 1998, Sam and his wife, Donna Mages, founded Flights of Fancy Adventures, a touring company that offers trips to North, South, and Central America."We love to take people to new places and watch their eyes and spirits open wider and wider as they experience what the world has to offer," says Sam.
