Murphy hopes to inspire others, including kids.
"I want people to realize the nature we have in our own backyard. We don't have to go to another state. We don't have to go anywhere if we just look, up in the air, all the bird we have. The animals, chipmunks, everything. That's what I want to get children into - nature," she said.
