My Mission
I'm excited to join this incredible initiative! Golden Gate Bird Alliance's mission to inspire people to protect Bay Area birds is very important to me and I'm proud to help them make a difference.
The Golden Gate Bird Alliance helped me foster my love for birding through its free field trips! This organization has also helped me learn more about birds because they have a great group of instructors that have helped me deepen my knowledge of birds and birding.
I also appreciate how the GGBA supports the community for the people and the birds through education programs and restoration programs.
My goal is to show my appreciation for this organization and the birds by photographing 70 different species! While I know my skill isn't the best, hopefully my love will shine through.
Please support me by giving to my page. Every dollar counts! Thank you.

I finally have taken photos in my neighborhood, and more importantly, in the Bay Area! It was such a lovely day, so I had to take advantage! There were so many highlights, including the Black Scoter that love to come to the marina the last few winters. It was so fun to take a moment to watch them interact, dive, and call their melancholy tones.

I'm at the halfway point for number of species! Yesterday, I went up into the Sierras and brought my little zoom lens along and found a few more species. Of course I got some good looks at the Red-breasted Nuthatches, but when I went to look at my photos, the clearest photo was of the little booty! Sometimes, that's just the way.
Thank you all for your support!

I went a little out of state for my next round of species photographed! I was out in Illinois and got 10 more species with my smaller zoom lens (31 species total now). The bird feeders made it easier to get closer to the birds, that's for sure! While there were some birds that aren't common here, it was nice to see some familiar faces, like this White-breasted Nuthatch.

Thank you everyone for helping reach my initial fundraising goal of $1000! I'm going to up it to $1500 to keep this party going.
Here's a picture of a California Thrasher I took at Struve Slough!

Thank you all for donating to my Birdathon fundraiser! I spent the weekend taking some photos and have had a great time! I've attached my checklists where I've posted my photos. I also have an album on Flickr! Here's a picture of a kestrel that looked so cute on this wire!
