Jeff Davis<\/em><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What do you do for your day job?: <\/em>I am the pastor at Concordia Lutheran Church in Duluth. I have been there almost five years!<\/p>\n

What hobbies or interests do you have outside of birding?:<\/em> I play basketball nearly every weekday and am a two-time YMCA recreational league champion! I collect and enjoy playing boardgames, including Wingspan, a birding related game. I love visiting National Park sites and traveling.<\/p>\n

What was your spark bird?<\/em>: I first started getting interested in birds in a middle-school environmental education class. I casually set up and observed feeders over the years, but my becoming a \u201cbirder\u201d didn\u2019t really take off until my first call in North Dakota. Every Easter, my wife and I would drive around and find ducks at the area potholes. The Northern Shoveler caught my attention and started me down the path of identifying just what I was viewing!<\/p>\n

Do you have any destination birding dreams?: <\/em>Yes! I would love the opportunity to explore southeastern Arizona and the southern Rio Grande valley for birds. Internationally, I am always looking at birding trips to Morocco, Mongolia, and Ecuador. Maybe I\u2019ll start a GoFund me page!<\/p>\n

Favorite Bird?: <\/em>If I have to choose, I guess it would the Blackburnian Warbler.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
