Sandy Klinikowski
My love for birding began many years ago as I watched these beautiful red and brown birds on the feeder outside my living room window. A friend of mine suggested I take a beginning birding class at Yavapai College. This was about 20 years ago, and I've been hooked ever since! I am honored to serve as your treasurer and happy to be a more active member of the Prescott Audubon Society. Let's go birding!

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.
