[va-richmond-general] October RAS Program

["Al Warfield" <warfield101@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The October program for RAS was to have been presented by Aimee Weldon, and 
would have been an update of the IBA program. Due to Aimee's acceptance of 
another job a couple of weeks ago, she won't be able to make that presentation. 
Instead, Linda & I have agreed to substitute using two programs I have been 
working on, which will total no more than 45 minutes. Below is a description of 
the program for October 20th:

Program for October 18: Al Warfield, with help from Linda, will present two 
programs using some new software with which he has been experimenting. The 
first, 18 minutes long, will be titled "Texas Birding 2007", and will describe 
a trip Linda & Al took along the Texas coast, up the lower Rio Grande Valley, 
and to Big Bend National Park and the Davis Mountains. The second presentation, 
which is 12 minutes long, will be "Spring in Highland County". Here, Al & Linda 
will show the results of two trips to Margaret & Wayne O'Bryan's property in 
May, 2007, presented as if it were one day.

 

In both of the presentations, there is a pleasant background soundtrack, and 
birdcalls are featured when the birds are portrayed. The effect is similar to a 
video, but much better, since high resolution images are shown instead of 
multiple low resolution images. The pictures shown will include not just the 
birds, but the beauty of the surrounding landscape and scenery. The timing is 
preset, so you won't have to listen to any long verbiage, but will be able to 
ask questions at the end. We hope you can come to the meeting. We presented the 
Highland County program to the Rockingham bird club last week and the response 
was overwhelmingly positive. However, we are very receptive to constructive 
criticism. 

See the RAS website or the Thrasher for details on the pre-meeting dinner, etc.



Thanks,



Al Warfield
