Ignite Phoenix #11 - Bird Is A Verb by

Presenter: Jim Burns

Biography: I'm a nature writer/photographer based in Scottsdale with three books about birds to my credit and an online birding column. My goal, with my writing and photography, is to turn people on to birding as an introduction to what's out there in nature which, in turn, will expand the numbers of us interested in protecting and preserving it.

Description: Birds are beautiful and fascinating. Birding is cool. I'd like to imbue the audience with my passion for birds, their place in the natural environment, and why that environment is worth preserving. Awareness brings interest. Interest creates love. Love leads to preservation. Get off the couch. Reconnect with nature. Help save the planet.
