Take a photographic adventure to the High Andes - the longest mountain range in the world, spanning Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina - with Woody Gillies of Pembroke as he explores the wildlife at high elevations within view of the snowline at approximately 16,000 feet. Photos taken during trips to Ecuador and Peru will be used to illustrate the birds, mammals, people and scenery of these spectacular mountains.  

Gillies has had an interest in birds since his mother introduced him to backyard birding at an early age. When he was in junior high, he tagged along with his older brother who was taking a field ornithology course in college. He is a retired Professor Emeritus from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, where he taught chemistry and carried out research in microwave spectroscopy. He was a member of the Hudson-Mohawk Bird Club in upstate New York as well as Mass Audubon and is a member of Maine Audubon. In addition to many areas of the US, Woody has birded in Canada, Central America, Australia, Europe, UK and recently Peru. He has been interested in nature photography most of his adult life and photographs birds wherever his travels take him.
