From students at West Sechelt Primary School, to whom Glen gave a presentation: “Dr. Glen Chilton is an adventurer. He has travelled around the world more than once chasing his dream to find the fifty stuffed Labrador Ducks. He came to our school to tell us about his book, Curse of the Labrador duck, and the story behind it.” – Bailey M. “It took him 9 years to write his book. That means that when I was 2, he had just started his book. Now im 11. WOW.” – Shaelyn S. “He said that he was now broke because traveling around the world can be pricey! He is hoping his book would be a success, so that he can live comfortably again!” – Delia A. “I’ve never read the book but from what I’ve heard I definitely recommend it to you” – Jaxson V. “He is also a University professor. But he must be super smart. To find out more about this amazing adventurer and book writer go to your local bookstore and find The curse of the Labrador Duck.” - Micheael B. |

As a bird biologist, I have the finest job in all the world. My brain is being tickled all the time, I travel to exotic locales in the name of research, I constantly make new friends and forge new collegial partnerships, and I have the great joy of passing along my findings to enthusiastic students. After 29 years of university teaching, I now spend a greater portion of my time writing books about my outrageous adventures. You can read about these writing projects below. Welcome to my world! |

GLEN’S BOOK ADVENTURES: |
|
The Labrador Duck has been extinct for more than 100 years. Join me in my quest to examine every stuffed specimen in the world in The Curse of the Labrador Duck. |
|
The world rejoices when a species, thought to be extinct, is rediscovered. In The Return of the Ferret Zombies, I travel the globe in search of species back from the dead. |
|
Humans have long introduced plants and animals to foreign lands. Read about my odyssey to find the world’s most outrageous examples in The Attack of the Killer Rhododendrons. |
