An evening of pure birding pleasure. Jim Kenney will show us beautiful photographs of birds all along the Texas Coast to the Rio Grand Valley.

An evening of pure birding pleasure.  We are pleased to have Jim Keeney, a retired radiologist fro Gig Harbor, join us for our final program before the summer break.  Jim has been photographing birds and wildlife of the new world (western hemisphere) for 20 years, with a special emphasis on herons.  He has given programs twice previously for ELWAS, as well as many other Audubon Societies, and is always enthusiastically received.

Jim will show us beautiful photographs of birds all along the Texas Coast to the Rio Grand Valley.  He will include everything from songbirds of the High Island Bird Sanctuary (a legend in birding for "fallouts" of warblers during spring migration) to waterbirds in the meandering bayous of Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge.

He will also take us from the Florida Keys through the Everglades, Venice, Sanibel Island, and across the state to St Augustine Alligator Farm and Bird Rookery.  He will show us where and when (November to May) to find birds of the Gulf Coast and what to expect at each refuge or sanctuary.

Please join us Thursday, June 26, for this inspiring program that will motivate you to get out there and go birding.  Come at 6:30 for the social hour.  Enjoy a brief monthly meeting and refreshments from 7:00 to 7:45, followed by Jim’s stunning presentation.

The social hour, meeting, and presentation are free and open to the public.  Invite a friend or anyone who is loves good bird photography and wants to know where to see birds along the Gulf Coast.
