Speaker: Barbara Pierzakowski - EagleWatch Volunteer Coordinator of Martin and St. Lucie counties
Barbara was born in California and grew up in New Jersey where she lived until 1988. She eventually moved to Maryland with her husband and then to Alabama in 1993 and retired to Florida in 2015. She and her husband now reside in Palm City, Florida
When she was a child, she received a "Brownie” camera and became interested in taking pictures outside her home. In 1981, her interest was renewed and bloomed when she acquired a new digital Mavica camera. She is currently a hobby wildlife and still life photographer.
She discovered a pair of Bald Eagles near her home in Palm City, which surprised her because she was under the impression they only lived in Alaska. Barbara is now a dedicated Eagle Watch Volunteer Coordinator for Martin and St. Lucie counties and devotes her spare time following eagle pairs as they nest.
