In lieu of a speaker this month, we will be taking a group bird walk around the nature center property in search of backyard birds, migrating warblers, and more! After the bird walk, we will have light refreshments in the visitor center. Please note the early start time! This will allow more time for walking before the sun sets.

June Meeting 6/27/23

Birds in Motion by Greg A. Cooper
Traditional bird photography captures birds frozen in time. Although this technique crisply captures their stature, birds in motion capture the hidden beauty of these majestic creatures by using a slower shutter speed. This presentation showcases a portfolio of a work in progress. Techniques and equipment will be discussed, along with ample time for Q&A. This presentation will interest bird photographers as well as the casual birder that appreciates our feathered friends in their natural form. Greg A. Cooper teaches in the Journalism program at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois. Cooper graduated in May 1996 from Western Kentucky University with a double major in photojournalism and anthropology. He's worked as a photojournalist and picture editor in California and Ohio. In 2003 Cooper left the field to pursue his Master's Degree in Photography at Brooks Institute of Photography. Upon graduation in 2004, Cooper has been a full-time photography educator in California and now at EIU. Cooper lives with his wife and their dog in Charleston.

March Meeting Cancelled

3/21/2023

Birders,

Unfortunately, we must cancel this month's bird club meeting. The nature center is still undergoing repairs from water damage that are taking longer than expected. While reopening is on the horizon for the near future, we are not able to do so just yet. We hope to see you all very soon and to reschedule all the great guest speakers we have missed this winter.
