2026 WORKSHOPS
AND PRESENTATIONS

NEW! Birds Through the Lens 

A beginner-to-intermediate-friendly bird photography workshop designed for people who love birds and want to take better photos of them. It’s ideal for beginning photographers as well as birders who’ve been curious about photography but may feel intimidated by camera gear or settings.

No fancy gear is required. For participants who don’t have a camera or long lens, I can provide 6 loaner Canon cameras and lenses so everyone can learn hands-on. Participants using loaner gear would only need to bring a 32 GB SD card so they can take their images home with them.

Workshop flow includes:

  1. Camera overview and setup to improve bird photography (15–30 minutes, depending on group size)

  2. A clear, beginner-friendly explanation of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO (about 15 minutes)

  3. Guided, real-world bird photography in the field for the remainder of the session

 

The goal of the workshop is to help participants feel confident, slow down, and enjoy the process of photographing birds while leaving with images they’re excited about.

HOW TO BE A BETTER BIRDER

Do you feel like you're just not "getting it" as quickly as others? That's perfectly understandable. Come to this presentation and we will answer your questions about binocular and scope-use to learning about the latest technological help available to birders. Determined to conquer those "little brown jobs" this year? We can give you some ideas for making that easier as well. This presentation will be participant driven so come with your birding questions and our panel will provide answers.
