Eaton Ekarintaragun- Other Research Program Volunteer
14 year old birder and wildlife artist Eaton Ekarintaragun first discovered the Calvert Stewards when he attended the Nature Society's summer camps. He enjoys volunteering with programs involving animals, especially birds, and he has been working independently collecting data for the Maryland/DC Breeding Bird Atlas.
"I really enjoy volunteering because I get the opportunity to get closer to wildlife, and have a chance to participate in events that would be hard to find outside the Society. I also enjoy having the chance to help the Nature Society and Calvert County through working with nature and the outdoors. Volunteering has definitely helped me achieve several goals. By volunteering for the Bird Counts and Surveys opportunity through the Breeding Bird Atlas, I refined my knowledge of bird identification as well as learned how to identify the signs of a bird nesting nearby."
