Robert Campbell was born on October 1, 1941 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, into the family of Robert Lincoln and Mildred Winnifred (Fouts) Campbell.
Robert received Bachelor of Science (with distinction) at the University of Victoria in 1976. Then he earned Master of Science (with distinction) at the University of Washington, Seattle, in 1983.
After graduation Campbell joined the staff of the University of British Columbia as Curator of the Cowan Vertebrate Museum in the Department of Zoology. For almost 20 years, Wayne Campbell has been the Curator of Ornithology at the Royal British Columbia Museum where he conducted wildlife inventories of remote areas of the province including the first complete census of breeding seabird colonies.
Since the early seventies, Wayne Campbell has spoken to naturalist groups in almost every British Columbia community to impress upon them the importance of their contributions to the knowledge of the birds of our province. He has written more than 300 scientific and popular articles, reports and books on higher vertebrates, including "Birds of British Columbia", for which he was one of the six co-authors.
Robert Campbell began as a biochemist but spent most of his career as a science writer, first as a journalist (Globe & Mail, Maclean’s, New Scientist), then as an editor and writer for Canadian universities, research hospitals and government. His literary heroes are Shakespeare and Aeschylus, his artistic heroes Tom Thomson and J.M.W. Turner.
When not working on his next book, which brings Tom Thomson together with François Paradis in the Quebec wilderness, he is a carpenter, cyclist, white-water canoer, traveler. He has two daughters (both writers), a stepson (a snowboard champion) and lives semi-retired in Ottawa with his true love. He currently works on books on hawks, owls, and seabirds of British Columbia; a popular field guide to British Columbia birds.
On June 28, 1969, Robert married a teacher Eileen Clair McCammon, with whom he has two children: David Sean and Tessa Nicole.
