My position at Cape Lookout National Seashore with the Traditional Trades Advancement Program (TTAP) has provided me with new skills, relationships, as well as a greater knowledge of what happens behind the scenes of our national parks. If I had to pick one thing that I’ve enjoyed the most it would be photographing the bird population at the park. Being a photographer, it’s given me an entirely new passion being able to photograph the migration season and share those photos with the park staff and visitors to show how much diversity is here. I’ve seen over 160 different species of birds in roughly 4 months. My hope is that this will encourage more people to visit and see what they can find.
