Working with birding and conservation organizations since 2017

Nighthawk Agency

Nighthawk Agency opened in 2017 due to a simple need: organizations in conservation and ecotourism require specialized knowledge of the natural world in their marketing and business endeavors.

Building on her years of experience working with birding organizations, Mollee started Nighthawk to focus on small-batch, highly personalized projects that support her clients in ways that traditional marketing agencies can’t.

Since then, Nighthawk has worked with clients around the world that bridge science, conservation, education, and ecotourism. Here at Nighthawk, we have honed our scope to focus on digital products and practical strategies. We bring on specialized consultants as needed to ensure each project is top-quality.

Our clients range from one-woman volunteer operations to large-scale multinational organizations. No matter the scale, we aim to create projects that achieve goals in manageable ways. Our relationships with clients tend to be long and dynamic, and that’s how we like it.

About Mollee

Mollee (she/her) grew up discovering nature in the hollers of Appalachia, and her love of exploring the outdoors has never stopped. 
 
Since founding Nighthawk Agency in 2017, Mollee has worked with conservation organizations and led birding tours throughout the world. She’s the producer of Life List: A Birding Podcast and writes for a variety of bird and nature publications. She also serves on the boards of Frontiers in Ornithology and Brooks Bird Club and, when she’s home, teaches bird and nature courses at a nearby federal prison. 
 
Mollee’s tours blend birds with the stories of their landscapes — plants, wildlife, culture, and the oddball stories that make each place memorable. And as you’ll learn when you’re with her, Mollee gets excited for just about every bird that crosses her path, but especially loves a search for habitat specialists and evolutionary extremes. 
 
Back home in West Virginia, Mollee, her husband, and three dogs live on 40 acres of reclaimed strip-mined land they named Vandalia. They avidly record Vandalia’s biodiversity while working on native restoration, and are always trying to increase their reliance on the land for food and other needs. 
 
Mollee has loved photography since she started borrowing her grandma’s camera as a child, and likes to capture the experience of birding as much as the birds themselves. She also takes her passion for writing and photography beyond the publications she contributes to, and runs a blog on the Nighthawk website with stories from the field. Wherever you find her, she’s probably making herself at home in nature. 

Birding Tours

Mollee began leading birding tours in 2015. In recent years, her itch to bring her perspective on bird and nature travel has grown. These days, Mollee collaborates with a blend of tour companies, clients, and like-minded naturalists to lead tours that are strongly tied to conservation and a sense of adventure. Mollee works closely with local operators – often women-led – and aims to build itineraries that are immersive and fun.
