My name is Greg Bodker and I became a serious birder in 2006. I get outside and combine my interests of birding, nature, and photography as often as possible.
I’ve led birding trips for Michigan Audubon and was on its Board of Directors for three years. Currently, I enjoy doing birding/nature education presentations which have been well received both in and outside of Michigan. Please see the Testimonials.
I’ll always stop birding to pet a dog. This warm hearted boy came over to me while I was Grouse birding in Colorado. Photo by Scott Sneed.
