"Wild beasts & birds are by right not the property merely of people today, but the property of the unborn generations, whose belongings we have no right to squander." Theodore Roosevelt
| Why
I created Let's Go Birding |
| I created Let's Go Birding because
I have a passion for birds and the environment.
I have been teaching bird watching classes for years and
enjoy working with people and introducing them to
the avian world.
Let's Go Birding is able to provide
opportunities for the beginning/intermediate adult birder to go birding in a non-intimidating atmosphere. Along with
having a lot of fun, people get to visit incredible places while increasing their birding
skill level.
As a child, I remember class field trips were the high
light of each school year. Well, adults are
just big kids and we still like to go on field trips! Through
my field trips people find "Life
Birds", capture fantastic photographs and make new friends.
Through classes and field trips I am also able to support other organizations dedicated to the environment. Let's Go Birding is able to contribute to many of the areas we visit and proceeds from classes also go back into the organizations sponsoring the event.
It is a joy to work with people and to see their faces when they see an incredible bird for the first time. I believe the more people learn about birds and connect with nature, the better chance the birds will be here for future generations.

About the Founder - Lisa Myers
 Lisa is a south Bay Area, California native. As a child, Lisa enjoyed everything related to nature. Her curiosity for birds led to a special
gift she received in 1974, Peterson's, A Field Guide to Western Birds.
After graduating from California
State University at Chico with a degree in communications Lisa spent two decades in her family's high school senior portrait
business, Sanford & Myers Photo Graphic. Working with high school students and their parents provided the perfect opportunity to develop
the exceptional organizational and customer service skills Lisa uses today in leading birding tours. A few years in high tech sales & marketing and working with
Cheesemas' Ecology Safaris didn't hurt either!
In addition to leading Let's Go Birding tours to California's birding hot spots Lisa also leads tours for area non-profits like the
San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory and retail businesses including
the Los Gatos Birdwatcher and is the Administration & Data Manager
for Palo Alto's Environmental Volunteers.
Lisa teaches adult birding classes throughout the Bay Area and the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society and is a member of the Nikon birding Pro Staff allowing her to provide you with wonderful optics to view and help you with optics questions.
Throughout Lisa's adventures she strives to introduce people to the
many organizations dedicated to educating the public about wildlife, to preserving species, and preserving habitats.
