Sharon Andersen

When Sharon is not birding, she's hiking in the forests around our area.  Sharon is our Conservation Chair, and she brings her experience in the issues  essential to our PAS conservation concerns, such as preserving bird habitat and improving access for birders and other
low-impact outdoors folks. 

Christina B

Christina is an Environmental Scientist in Bagdad and joined Prescott Audubon in 2021. She loves spending time hiking with her dogs.  Her favorite bird is the Belted Kingfisher.  In addition to her science expertise, Christina manages much of our social media, communication, and outreach.  

Julie Cargill

Julie has added her expertise and interest in birding to our board, taking the Secretary job under her wing.

Julie is a recently-retired nurse practitioner and, like many of us, a transplant to Arizona. Julie says she's loving to learn about the landscape and wonderful bird population.

Sue D

For 40 years, Sue has been an active part of the Audubon community.  With her background in nonprofit accounting, she has designed the reporting systems and managed tax compliance for two Audubon Chapters.  Sue also acted as board treasurer for HawkWatch International.  Recently, she's been working with Prescott City on bird habitat improvement projects.

Jo Glaves

Jo’s spark bird was a Mississippi Kite observed while she was floating in the neighborhood swimming pool. A used Peterson’s “Field Guide to the Birds of Texas”, binoculars and volunteering at Houston Audubon led to a new hobby. Most of her Houston Audubon volunteer time involved working with children at the Edith Moore Nature Sanctuary. Jo’s other love is plants, especially native plants. She volunteers at the Yavapai County Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Help Desk attempting to answer the public’s plant queries. She spends a lot of time in the yard pulling weeds and being distracted by birdsong.

Sandy Klinikowski

Sandy’s love of birding began over 20 years ago while watching little brown and red birds on the feeder outside her living room window. Fascinated by their beauty and behavior she enrolled in a beginning birder class at Yavapai College. Birding added a special connection to nature for Sandy and her love for the outdoors. She also enjoys hiking, camping, scuba diving, and traveling.  Sandy is a strong member of the PAS Board, and she coordinates our events, including the
Christmas Bird Count. 

Delores & Art Manburg

Delores and Art have been with PAS since they moved here 20 years ago, serving on the Board back then and now delivering birdseed to various senior facilities through the Feed the Feeder program. We first got hooked on birds some 50 years ago while living in upstate NY watching red wing blackbirds in a feeder outside our window. We love being in nature, hiking, gardening and traveling. We enjoy the wonderful programs PAS has to further our knowledge of nature here in Prescott.

Nita Morris

Nita is a longtime resident of Prescott, and a lifelong lover of all things wild and beautiful. She believes birding is perfect for that... bundles of wildness to be found wherever you go! A recent addition to the PAS board, Nita looks forward to working on behalf of birds, their habitats, and the people who love them.

Susan Noonan

Sue has flown in to guide our field trips team and to aid in our community networking.  Here's what she says:  "I’ve been casually interested in birding after seeing my first Common Yellowthroat. Since relocating to Prescott Valley from Connecticut in 2020, I have become a more serious birder, thanks to the knowledge shared from many experienced PAS members. I’m happy to be part of the flock!"

Mary Trevor

Mary is a 30+ year resident of Prescott ("almost a native!"), and she has been a Prescott Audubon member since the 1990's.  With her strong background in college administration, Mary is a natural to chair our Scholarship Committee.  She claims to know just enough about birds, geology, trails, and camping to amaze and/or bore her friends. 

The following folks have all stepped aside from their former positions as committee chairs or on our Board , but we consider them "emeritus" members who will always take our call when needed. They include:

Sharon Arnold

Ever ready with her binoculars, Sharon Arnold, our retired Conservation Chair, is on the lookout for ways Prescott Audubon Society can make a difference in habitat preservation. Her focus is understanding and taking action for the protection needs of our Important Bird Areas: Upper Verde River State Wildlife Area IBA and Watson and Willow Lakes Ecosystem IBA. 

Ellen Bashor

Ellen Bashor: Ellen wears many hats, all "green".  As the inspiration behind the new Nature Ninos youth outdoors program and as the AZ Environmental Educator of the year (2020), Ellen shows her gift for teaching kids about the outdoors.  Outreach and community is her specialty.

Maria Icenogle

Maria feels fortunate to have called Prescott home for over a decade. As a wildlife biologist and environmental educator, she loves the outdoors and helping folks connect to nature in a meaningful way. Maria joined the PAS board in 2018, and has served as its secretary, but now acts as our liason in her new position with one of our partner organizations,
the Highands Center.  

Ryan Crouse

Ryan has lived in Northern & Central Arizona for most of his life.   He has a lifelong connection with the landscape and wildlife of our beautiful state.  A former PAS
Board member, Ryan continues to author our "Bird of the Month" series.
