I love the Boulder County properties and helping lead all sorts of programs, including winter raptor driving tours, wildflower walks, sunset walks and the Living Map program for school children. My focus for he last five years has been birding across the state of Colorado. I have birded in 44 of the 64 counties in the state of Colorado, focusing on the Front Range and eastern prairie. I hope to bird the West slope of Colorado in the next few years.
I have lived in Boulder since September 1976 and have birded extensively since then in Boulder County and Colorado. I have twice been president of the Colorado Field Ornithologists, and am currently chairman of the CFO Colorado Bird Records Committee. I spent most of my career at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, where I studied the role of the ocean in climate. I worked extensively on the climate model that is based at NCAR, and used it to make projections of the future climate.
I'm a New Jersey native. I came out to Colorado for graduate school and fell in love with the mountains. I have always enjoyed the outdoors and have camped, hiked, and backpacked. I am especially drawn to wildlife. I am fascinated with animal behavior in their natural environment and love to watch them in action. I look forward to sharing my passion and knowledge with others. Also, I hope to help them appreciate the beauty, fragility, and interconnectedness of animal and plant life.
Educated in natural sciences, MS in geology. I worked for the USGS as a field geologist in Mineral Resources for 10 years before stepping back to raise my children. Later I worked in the schools as a para-educator working with gifted kids, special ed, and resource support in high school supporting math and science classes. Now in retirement I volunteer as a raptor nest monitor, burrowing owl monitor and volunteer naturalist for Boulder County as well as with CPW and BCNA.
