Birding: The Comic Book You Get to Live
Killian Sullivan - 2025 ABA Young Birder of the Year Wed, May 6 @ 7PM Zoom (virtual) What if birding were a comic book full of origin stories, epic quests, elusive nemeses, and unexpected superpowers? Killian, ABA’s Young Birder of the Year and possibly the youngest to reach 700 species in the US, shares his journey as a graphic novel come to life. His path has been shaped by mentors, friends, and a birding community who have taught, inspired, and challenged him. Killian’s story shows how birding is more than a hobby – it is a shared adventure where every birder writes their own heroic story. Killian is a 14-year-old birder from Columbus, Ohio. His birding passion began with a Steller’s Jay in Lake Tahoe and his love for birds continues to grow each day. Birding complements his love for travel, adventure, and rock climbing. His favorite destinations are southeast Arizona, New Jersey’s Cape May, and any pelagic. At home, he loves observing one of his favorite birds – the Carolina Wren. Killian was recently recognized as Young Birder of the Year by the American Birding Association and is perhaps the youngest birder to see 700 species in the United States. This event is free and open to all! Please register to receive Zoom details. |
