On Nate
I am Nate. I’m a birder, and thus, most everything I do revolves around that in some way. I grew up in the midwest but currently make my home in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with my wife and 2 year old son, who is not yet aware that he is a birder too. When I’m not looking for birds, which is not often, I enjoy music with banjos in it, disc golf, good beer, progressive politics and the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team and I’m not particularly shy about sharing my opinion on any of those things. Just so you know.
I’m a Teacher Assistant at Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, but I also manage the ABA blog and cover the southeast beat at 10,000 Birds. I help lead trips for the Wake County Audubon’s Young Naturalist’s Club and I’m the eBird reviewer for the state of North Carolina.
