Birds Georgia 

 Birds Georgia is a member-supported, non-profit organization dedicated to building places where birds and people thrive. We are a thriving, bird-focused organization that combines serious conservation, education, and community engagement with activities that build community and foster the joy of birding.

Birds Georgia serves all areas of Georgia. We engage across the state in collaboration with other groups that share our mission. We speak for the birds to create a public policy focus on conservation of birds and their habitats. With a committed staff, a focused board, and a flock of talented volunteers, Birds Georgia strives to share our passion with others to connect people with nature and to inspire everyone to be stewards of birds and the environment. We build trust and credibility by being honest, hardworking, and responsible with rigorous attention to sound science and long-term thinking.

Los Corridos

My name is Alex Alvarez, I’m a Mexican-American Registered Dietitian from Marietta, Georgia. My passion in nutrition and community grew from my own journey of improving my diet and relationship with food as well as being raised by entrepreneur parents in the restaurant business who taught me how valuable a role food plays in our culture and people. I currently work in telehealth providing nutrition counseling for Medicaid patients as well as coaching a few clients 1-on-1 and assisting management of our 30 year old family restaurant. My siblings and I have also created a Latino-inspired run group, Los Corridos, to create a space and community to inspire and motivate movement every Saturday with a few miles, some smiles, and a few songs along the way.
