Why do you want to serve as a board member for Michigan Audubon, and what would you like to contribute?

What is your favorite bird and why?

My favorite bird is the Gray Catbird because of their ability to mimic. This bird is still understudied and it is unknown exactly why they mimic although theories exist. They are rather elusive but males will bravely fly up to humans and other species to listen and mimic, making them an entertaining bird to have nearby.
