Radd Icenoggle
Radd Icenoggle’s first lifebird was a Long-billed Curlew in the hayfields of his family’s northwest Montana ranch. At that moment, seven years old, he was hooked, and birding has occupied the biggest part of his life ever since. Along with his passion for birds and birding, Radd has experience in backcountry travel and deep interests in other plants and animals including butterflies and herps.
Radd holds a degree in biology with an emphasis on habitat relationships. His thesis explores the effect of slope aspect on Clark’s Nutcracker in southwestern Montana. After college, Radd worked for the US Forest Service as a botanist, bird biologist, and hydrology technician. He is the author of Birds in Place: A Habitat-based Guide to the Birds of the Northern Rockies (Farcountry, 2003), illustrated with his own photographs of more than 280 species.
