Omar is an avid birder and naturalist who moved from New York to Los Angeles at the very start of the pandemic (timing is everything), and change of scenery only heightened his love for birds and nature. When he’s not working on his LA County or life list, you can catch him leading field trips and guided bird tours, mingling at Birds and Beers, or administering the LA rare bird Whatsapp group and the California State Birding Discord.
