Lisa Myers is a south Bay Area, California native with a passion for birding. In 2004 after years of birding and taking classes herself, she combined her birding experience with her degree in Public Relations and started Let’s Go Birding. Lisa's niche is to make the beginning birder feel welcome and help them on their adventure into birding. The goal is to provide fun and exciting adventures in the field and classroom while introducing people to the many organizations dedicated to environmental awareness. Lisa has led Let's Go Birding tours throughout northern California, Yellowstone, and Texas as well as Central American hot-spots including Costa Rica, Panama, and Belize. Lisa owns the Los Gatos Birdwatcher. This nature-loving power house of a store spends each day educating people on how to observe and responsibly feed birds in their backyards. Lisa previously worked for Cheeseman’s Ecology Safaris and Environmental Volunteers and has taught classes for the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society and the Palo Alto Adult School. She also served on the board of directors for the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory.
