ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Holly Merker has been a professional birding guide and environmental educator for over 20 years, and continues to love guiding people into rewarding experiences with birds and habitats we share with them.
Holly has worked with Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, the American Birding Association’s Camp Delaware, Pennsylvania Ornithological Records Committee, Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s eBird project, and is a founding member of the Frontiers in Ornithology Symposium, among other endeavors.
After using nature, especially birdwatching, for its therapeutic benefits while undergoing treatment and recovery from breast cancer, Holly is dedicated to sharing the message that birds and nature can be powerful companions in all of our wellness journeys, bolstering the body’s defenses against disease and boosting mental well-being. This is her definition of Ornitherapy.
