BIrds

There are so many unique and beautiful birds in this world. This portfolio focuses on North American birds, primarily those found in my home state of Minnesota.

Did you know that we have lost 2.9 billion birds since 1970? Habitat loss and degradation are the two biggest drivers in the decline of birds. Reversing this trend will take action on all fronts – from local and national land-use policies to individual actions we can all practice, such as planting native plants, keeping our cats indoors and making our windows safer. Check out 3 Billion Birds for ways you can help.
