Sharon Beals is an incredible photographer and artist. A self-proclaimed ‘urban naturalist’ that was raised in Seattle and now calls Hunters Point Shipyard in San Francisco, home. Sharon uses photography as an art form, and as a way to chronicle what moves her heart and concerns her conscience from habitat restoration and plastic in the ocean, to the ecology of rivers, and of course, birds’ nests. In her latest hardcover book <a href=”http://www.chroniclebooks.com/index/main,book-info/store,books/products_id,9179/title,Nests/” target=”_blank”>‘Fifty Nests and the Birds that Built Them’</a>, Sharon showcases her gorgeous photographs of nests accompanied by fascinating and informative portraits of the builders themselves.
