Frances Wood

Writer
Frances Wood inherited her love of nature from her writer-naturalist father and a mother who loved to garden. Writer, artist, teacher, and mother of two sons, Frances completed the Master Birding course offered by Seattle Audubon, which sent her headlong into the all-consuming world of an avid birdwatcher. Each winter since 1990, she has traveled or lived in Latin America, participating in conservation projects, training local nature guides, or just feeding her birdwatching habit.
Frances' book, Brushed by Feathers: A Year of Birdwatching in the West, was published in 2004.
