Lynne has lived in Santa Fe for 40 years and has been a passionate birder for decades.   Her love of wild birds led her to open the bird feeding store, Wild Birds Unlimited in 1993.   In 2008, after retiring from retail, she was pleased to join the dedicated volunteers of the Santa Fe Raptor Center.   Her greatest thrill is to watch the faces of folks who see our educational raptors up close at events --awestruck and fascinated sum it up when people gaze at these magnificent birds.
