About the speakers:
Anne Pellegrini is an avian biologist and volunteer with the Northern Arizona Audubon Society. Observing birds is Anne’s all-consuming passion, and she has recently discovered Pinyon Jays and their fascinating quirks. Since then, it’s been off to the races learning about the species and how to help contribute toward conservation efforts. This has led her to assist in organizing Pinyon Jay surveys in the greater Flagstaff area on behalf of the Northern Arizona Audubon Society.
Audrey Kruse is the Community Engagement Director at the Grand Canyon Trust where she manages the volunteer and youth engagement programs. She developed the Trust’s Pinyon Jay Project to help everyone, even non-birders, participate in protecting the Pinyon Jay and its Pinyon-Juniper habitat. Audrey enjoys starry campfire nights, belly laughter, golden retrievers, speaking German, and bad science puns.
Russell Benford is a wildlife ecologist who plans and manages forest conservation initiatives for the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management. Throughout his career, he has worked with diverse constituencies in the American Southwest and Western Pacific. He specializes in terrestrial vertebrates and has researched a variety of environmental systems and species including the Pinyon Jay. His work with wildlife has emphasized regulatory, socioeconomic, and cultural influences on the field.
