A childhood interest in nature became a love of bird watching for Alma College lab instructor Mike Bishop.
“A few people have called my interest in birds obsessive,” he says. “I prefer passionate.”
Bishop has been teaching at Alma since 1998 and directs the Alma College Bird Observatory, located on the College’s 200-acre ecological station.
