Florida Keys Audubon

Board of Directors


Elizabeth Ignoffo, President





Mark Hedden, International birding guide, conducts birding tours abroad
through Caligo Ventures Tours and at home with Bone Island Bird Tours. He is a syndicated birding columnist and writer-in-residence at the Studios of Key West penning nonfiction on "ornithology-oriented natural history. "


Homer J. Herrick, a Key West native, graduated from KWHS in 1952 and holds a B.S. degree from Stetson University and a M.Ed. degree from the University of Florida. He taught mostly Biology and Marine Science at KWHS, retiring from teaching after 31 years. He served as president FKAS for 3 years and has been an active member for over 20 years. Never much of a "birder" Homer says he found Audubon's environmental conservation ethos a compelling reason to become and continue to be supportive. Homer serves as FKAS liaison to Monroe County Environmental Education Advisory Council.
