The birdwatcher of Brooklyn Bridge Park
In her task of birdwatching, Heather Wolf has detected more than 150 species at Brooklyn Bridge Park.
An adventurous encounter with a bird in 2006 in Pensacola Beach, Florida, where she previously lived, made Wolf interested in birds for the first time. The shorebird that was flying straight to her while protecting its nest aroused fear and curiosity in Wolf, who back home wanted to know more about the flying animal.
She never imagined that this was the beginning of a lifelong passion. “Bird watching for me is not really a hobby, it’s a way of life,” Wolf said.
