Location: Columbia, Mo.

Today, my capstone group finished our project about bird conservation in mid-Missouri. Here is the link to our project, which focuses on members of the Columbia Audubon Society and their efforts to conserve the natural environment and wildlife here in mid-Missouri.

I really enjoyed being able to get out in nature and photograph people doing really interesting work. I am a big bird nerd, so I was excited to work on this project about birds and especially to go out and photograph birds at Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area in Columbia.
