Linda has been interested in wildlife and bird watching for over 50 years! She started out with bird feeders in her backyard in Rochester MA and gradually expanded that interest into bird watching and keeping a life list of birds that she saw. That interest morphed into wildlife photography, and she has traveled both nationally and internationally pursuing this hobby. Her photographs have been featured in Florida Magazine and numerous news publications.
Linda is one of the founding members of the Safety Harbor Owl Team; a group dedicated to educating the public on the dangers of secondary anticoagulant rat poison as it affects owls, raptors, and other predators. She resides in Carrollwood Village with her husband.
