In DC with the American Bird Conservancy this week. These folks are it. These halls are where bird conservation happens, and ABC is on the front lines. Please become a member and supporter, it’s worth it.

Really honored to attend the opening of Bird Safe on View, an art / science / solutions exhibit at @maineaudubon focused on the BirdSafe Maine project I’ve worked on for five years. I wish I took more pictures, but was too busy having fun!
