Robert Nickel

The San Diego Bird Alliance works with the communnity to defend our region's birds, unique biodiversity, and threatened habitats through advocacy, education, and restoration. Robert Nickel is thrilled to be an advocate and champion for birds with the San Diego Bird Alliance. He is an avid birder, having caught the bug for this "dorky hobby" from his mother Melania, and he has now made it his mission to corrupt as many others as he can with the same passion, starting with his own family. Robert graduated from Stanford University, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Applied Earth Science. His annual "Bird Talk" is now a fixture at Stanford Sierra Camp, and his infectious love of birds  has been showcased in media ranging from the Built by Kids podcast to San Diego's own Sketches magazine.
