Nearly 50 people attended Jim Block's informative and entertaining talk 
"Birding With a Camera" this past Monday night at Hanover's Howe 
Library. Jim's presentation included a challenging and humbling 
selection of photos where viewers tried to match a female species to its male counterpart. He also shared a photo essay highlighting some of his favorite, and not necessarily widely-known, birding spots. Of course he also had plenty of tips regarding how to get the most out of your 
camera when trying to record your birding adventures.

Next up, George Clark will lead us on a birding tour that begins in New Foundland's icy climes and then heads southward down the North 
American coast all the way to Florida's sub-tropical Everglades. This introduction to
coastal birds will not only feature gannets, herons, waterfowl, waders, 
and
other waterbirds in the wild as photographed by the speaker, it will 
explore impacts
that make for continuing challenges in coastal bird conservation.You 
won't want to miss this opportunity to share the experience and insight 
of one of the area's pre-eminent birders.

The talk is on Monday, February 6th at Hanover's Howe Library beginning at 7 p.m., and it is free and open to the public.
