Winnie Burkett, sanctuary manager for the Houston Audubon Society for the last 8 years, has been instrumental in the addition of 1800 acres of valuable coastal habitat to the Houston Audubon sanctuary system. Burkett was introduced to birds and bird watching at age 4, by her grandmother. She grew up looking for birds in the wetlands of South Florida and graduated with a major in biology from Florida State University. Moving around the country with her petroleum geologist husband gave her the opportunity to work on a variety of ornithological research projects while raising 3 sons. Before moving back to the Houston area in 1991, Winnie lived in Storrs, Connecticut where she worked as the naturalist for the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History and ran a bird banding station in conjunction with the University of Connecticut. Burkett's main interests and concerns are habitat protection and bird conservation. Other Events: Sat-Sun.
