The Art In Birding: A presentation by P. Brian Machanic
Huntington, Vermont — Honoring Earth Day, the return of spring, and our imminent open-daily season, the Birds of Vermont Museum is hosting P. Brian Machanic, a Charlotte-based author / photographer / lecturer, and his excellent The Art In Birding presentation. Thursday April 25 at 1:30pm, at the Birds of Vermont Museum in Huntington, all are welcome to discover birds, tales of birding, and more, with Brian's many lovely wild bird photographs and a narrative that is both informative and jocular. Bird sightings are guaranteed, and no binoculars or insect repellents are needed!
Machanic has recently authored This Book Is For The Birds, which is a tribute to the beauty and grace of the avian world that surrounds us. Tom Slayton, Editor Emeritus of Vermont Life magazine, offered the following: "Brian's remarkable photographs reflect his lifelong love of nature and his special affinity for wild birds." Brian's lecture draws in part from his book, copies of which will be on sale at the time of his presentation.
A native Vermonter, Brian developed a passion for nature and its wildlife during his youth, while roaming the fields, wetlands and forests of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. Brian's ongoing keen interest in nature fueled the inception of Nature's Eye Studio in 1990. This studio has served as a compendium for Brian's wildlife and scenic images, which are sold in retail and online outlets. Brian's photography has received regional and national awards, and has been featured in a number of publications, including Vermont Life, Birders' World, Vermont Woodland, Natural New England, Livin' the Vermont Way, Tourist News (Maine), Vermont Outdoorsman, Ranger Rick, and Turkey Call (NWTF). Brian has also been an exhibiting artist/photographer at the Birds of Vermont Museum, most recently in our 2017 show, B1rding by the Numb3rs.
Extend your experience: The Museum's trails are open (although sometimes muddy) and attendees are encouraged to explore outdoors before or after Brian's talk.
