This will be a Zoom-only meeting about shorebirds. If you are a WBC member, you should have the email with the link to the Zoom meeting, which will be at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 18.
Join us on January 18, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom for Pete Myers’ presentation, “Bird Bedlam on the Beach.” Pete is a biologist, author, and photographer living near White Hall, VA. He has photographed birds for over four decades and spent thousands of hours on the beaches of northern California, including on Point Reyes.
From Pete:
“[My] images reveal details of bird bedlam on sandy beaches few casual observers will ever see. Georgia O’Keefe taught us not just to look, but to see the beauty of nature in its intimate details. She worked with subjects, often flowers, that at best move very slowly, but mostly not at all. Birds, in contrast, move rapidly, often faster than our eyes can track. With modern photographic equipment, I try to emulate O’Keefe: to capture intimate moments in birds’ lives on sandy beaches—feeding, fighting, flying, and dying—and with these images share those moments with you. Each one has a rich story behind it.”
