{"id":31,"name":"Greg Lasley","url":"","description":"Greg first pointed a camera at a bird in 1971, a Horned Lark at Great Salt Lake, Utah, while he was in the U.S. Air Force.\r\n\r\nBy 1976, as a novice, but enthusiastic bird-watcher, he became interested in documenting appearances of rare birds by photographing and tape-recording them.\r\n\r\nFrom the late 1970s until the late 1980s, most of Greg's wildlife photography focused on documenting rarities and obtaining slides of birds to illustrate his lectures for Audubon Societies or other nature-oriented groups.\r\n\r\nIn 1983, Greg took over the editorship of the Texas Region for\u00a0American Birds, later known as\u00a0Field Notes, and now known as\u00a0North American Birds, a publication of the American Birding Association.\r\n\r\nGreg continued to be the Texas co-editor of that publication through the year 2000 and was the Secretary of the Texas Bird Records Committee of the Texas Ornithological Society from 1986 until 2000.\r\n\r\nGreg also served on the Bird Records Committee of the American Birding Association for two terms, ending in 2005. Greg's photos have been published in more than 200 different books and magazines.","link":"https:\/\/www.quickreferencepublishing.com\/wholesale\/author\/greg_lasley\/","slug":"greg_lasley","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/www.quickreferencepublishing.com\/wholesale\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2011\/09\/Greg-Lasley-0027-small-e1525131218489.jpg","48":"https:\/\/www.quickreferencepublishing.com\/wholesale\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2011\/09\/Greg-Lasley-0027-small-e1525131218489.jpg","96":"https:\/\/www.quickreferencepublishing.com\/wholesale\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2011\/09\/Greg-Lasley-0027-small-e1525131218489.jpg"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickreferencepublishing.com\/wholesale\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/31","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.quickreferencepublishing.com\/wholesale\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
