Jessie Barry

Nikon Birding ProStaff

Jessie has been watching birds since before she could hold binoculars. Growing up in a family of waterfowl hunters on the shore of Lake Ontario, it's no wonder she has a passion for birds. Jessie has worked on bird research projects from Alaska to the Amazon. She is currently based at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, as an Assistant Curator in the Macaulay Library of Natural Sounds. Jessie also writes for various birding magazines and is a contributing author of National Geographic's Complete Birds and Good Birder's Don't Wear White.
