Maehr was Professor of Wildlife and Conservation Biology at the University of Kentucky, Department of Forestry. A gifted naturalist, David's numerous contributions to the wildlife profession and conservation community have been widely recognized at the international, national, and local levels. He earned three degrees in wildlife studies including a B.S. from The Ohio State University (1977), and both his M.S. (1980) and Ph.D. (1996) from the University of Florida. From 1980-1985, he worked as a biological scientist for the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission.

In addition to his many academic accomplishments, David was also an illiustrator and an award winning author of three books, including Florida's Birds, The Florida Panther: Life and Death of a Vanishing Carnivore, and Large Mammal Restoration: Ecological and Sociological Challenges in the 21st Century. A love of birds, a broad engagement with their biology, and a passion for their conservation were hallmarks of Herb Kale's many contributions to ornithology.
