Description

How many times have you looked out your window at a woodpecker and wondered to yourself, “How the heck do they do that without giving themselves a concussion?” Tonight, that question  and others will be answered as HOBAS board member and expert birder Brendan Fogarty discusses the various woodpeckers from around the world.  

Brendan Fogarty is a recent graduate from the Cornell University College of Engineering, from which he has both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree. He studied energy systems and has a passion for renewable energy integration. This interest stemmed from his lifelong love of nature and planning for a more sustainable world.  Brendan has been active with HOBAS since 2007, as a member of the Youth Outreach Committee, where he helped lead field trips and public programs.  In 2016 he joined the HOBAS Board of Directors where he serves as Secretary.

Brendan is an avid outdoorsman, birder, bicyclist, and musician, playing Irish bagpipes whenever his neighbors aren't home.
