Proud to Join the Zeiss Pro Team!!

10/27/2016

I am THRILLED to announce that I am now a member of the Zeiss Pro Team representing FANTASTIC Zeiss Sports Optics! I am the proud owner of a new pair of phenomenal Zeiss Victory SF 8x42 binoculars which have incredible brightness, clarity and field of view. It is a true privilege to be able to use these incredible optics for my bird and nature observations. I can't wait to represent Zeiss at birding festivals throughout the country! Thanks so much to Rich Moncrief of Zeiss for giving me this fabulous opportunity!

Great day today! Spent the morning volunteering counting migrating raptors at the Rockfish Gap Hawk Watch and this afternoon in the woods with Black Bears in Shenandoah National Park!

My dad and I are off to Europe! In about an hour we will board a flight to Switzerland where we will spend about a week before going to Italy for a few days. Excited to see friends, explore new places and see new birds!
Meanwhile back at home our old dog Bukki is not doing so well. So very sad to say goodbye today knowing that when we return home in a couple weeks he may no longer be with us. Love you Bukki!! So happy to know he is in the loving care of my mom...

I was six years old when we first adopted Bukki. This is our first hug! He quickly became my best friend.
