"I am a professional conservation ecologist with expertise in invasive species and ornithology. I have been a birder since 1991. I have birder through out North America and have taken trips to Ecuador and Costa Rica, the latter with a Yale University botany course. I am originally from NJ, but I am new to SE Pennsylvania. I currently work at Valley Forge NHP, where I do most of my localbirding, including the Christmas Bird Count; but I also am learning the local hotspots. My particular interests ar in conservation, and I am happy to talk about mountaintop removal and Cerulean Warbler conservation, as well as conservation of the Cape SAble Seaside Sparrow."
