Jeff Sailer—Toledo Zoo’s Wild Walkabout: Bringing the wonders down under to Toledo The Toledo Zoo’s newest Executive Director, Jeff Sailer, will be discussing this year’s seasonal exhibit at the Toledo Zoo, especially all that has gone into designing and executing this project. Jeff came to Toledo from New York City where he served as Director of City Zoos and the Facility Director of the Central Park Zoo. He also was the Curator of Animals at the Central Park Zoo and the Curator of Birds of the Miami Metrozoo. For the past 18 years, Jeff has been engaged in ornithological research, in particular, sea ducks and fruit pigeons. His research has focused on questions concerning ecomorphology, anatomy, biomechanics, community ecology, biogeography, and conservation of these birds. His research has taken him to Long Island, NY; Panama; Mexico; the Bahamas; Samoa; Kingdom of Tonga; Fiji; India; Singapore; Australia; and Papua New Guinea. Jeff has also worked extensively with this taxon in aviary settings and in museum collections.
