for the Tucson Audubon Society. I love birding and showing the beauty of Southeast Arizona and it’s amazing birds. I am a very even keeled and easygoing person who loves being outside birding and enjoying nature in general. As a biologist that is actively involved in many projects in Southeast Arizona I can share all sorts background information about habitats and local efforts to enhance habitats and document bird populations. One of my passions is sharing the love of birding and enjoying nature in general with all sorts of audiences. In my capacity as a staff member of Tucson Audubon I do lots of outreach to both general and birder specific audiences. We share information about creating bird friendly yards and landscaping at venues such as the SAHBA Home & Garden Show and the Pima County Fair where we target non-birders and families. This is one of my favorite things to do as most people are “bird appreciators” and will gladly add some native plants to their yard if it helps hummingbirds or other birds. I also do birder specific workshops on how to use eBird and bird survey methods and also frequently give talks on many birding and habitat subjects in the community. Tucson has been my home for over 20 years and I grew up in Arizona and then earned my Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Conservation and Management at the University of Arizona. I have worked at Tucson Audubon Society for 10 years and spend my days throwing myself in to Tucson Audubon’s mission work of achievement conservation of native birds through sharing a love of birds and birding. I spend quite a lot of my free time enjoying the diverse habitats of Southeast Arizona and birding, often with my lovely boyfriend Richard Fray of Fun Birding Tours.<\/span>
