Paul Johnsgard was an internationally-known ornithologist, writer, educator, photographer and so much more. His passion for the Sandhill Crane migration was inspirational, we felt honored to have him volunteer with us and throughout the Audubon network each year. As a friend to so many across Audubon, he will be dearly missed.
