Michele Wilson Berger

Before 2004, a bird was just a bird to Michele, Audubon’s associate editor and social media manager. On a trip into the Costa Rican cloud forest, she glimpsed the three-wattled bell bird, and the exhilaration of spotting a rare species, coupled with the look of satisfaction on her guide’s face, hooked her on those feathered beauties. Michele’s been watching the skies ever since. She has a Master’s degree from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, and she’s thrilled to be writing about birds and nature.

She got married in July 2011. She’s going by Berger now; she used to be Wilson.
