Growing up in Oregon, Eliana spent years surveying and monitoring birds across the Pacific Northwest. Her work blends traditional field skills with modern survey tools, shaped by long days in the field and a habit of slowing down to really watch what birds are doing.
That instinct started early. Chance encounters with iconic species like Great Gray Owls and Streaked Horned Larks taught her to pay attention to timing, habitat, and behavior. Today, Eliana relies on those same fundamentals: patience, careful observation, and reading subtle cues to understand how birds move, feed, and nest. Grounded in lifelong curiosity and regional experience, she brings a friendly, low-key approach to birding that is equal parts knowledge and exploration.
