Aaron Given is a very familiar face on Kiawah Island. He is literally up with the birds to perform his job as a wildlife biologist for the Town of Kiawah Island but somehow finds time to take people on bird walks, conduct presentation to educate residents and visitors, run one of the most respected banding operations on the East coast, conduct a bluebird evaluation each year, and write for us.
