Isoo O'BrienPassionate birder, soccer player, writer, traveler.
On May 11, 2011 birding skipped a generation. My grandparents, who are avid birders, had come for a visit. We birded the backyard. They taught me how to identify a chickadee and I knew I was hooked. My goal now is to turn what has become a deep passion into a career, one that will allow me to affect positive environmental change. |
