Coastal Biologist | ruby@alaudubon.org
A Nebraska native raised outside of Omaha, Ruby has been in love with the outdoors since she was a young child who went on nature walks and raised butterflies. She attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and graduated in 2020 with a degree in Fisheries and Wildlife. Ruby worked all across the Midwest during her college years surveying piping plovers and least terns and translocating greater sage-grouse hens and chicks. In August of 2021 she moved to Texas to work on a quail research ranch studying all aspects of northern bobwhite quail. After being introduced to birding in North Dakota by coworkers she has been enamored with bird watching, and more recently, wildlife photography. Combined with her other hobbies of fishing, camping and reading, Ruby is often found outside enjoying the great outdoors.
