Greetings:
On October 1st, the Northern Neck Audubon Society (NNAS) will host a program by
Bill Portlock, Senior Educator with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF). His
presentation will feature “Birds of the Chesapeake”. He will also be sharing
information about “Teachers on the Bay 2012”, a program partially funded by
NNAS. The program will begin at 7:00 p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church in
Kilmarnock.
Trained in natural history and ecology, Portlock learned to photograph nature
in order to document the Chesapeake Bay and the wildlife that lives within its
watershed. He has been teaching and conducting field investigations since his
start with CBF in 1981. He monitors Virginia’s rivers and the Bay for CBF as a
water-quality and living- resources specialist, conducts breeding bird surveys
for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, is compiler for the Washington’s
Birthplace Audubon Christmas Bird Count, and conducts bald eagle boat surveys
for the Center for Conservation Biology at Virginia Commonwealth University,
where he is a research associate and adjunct faculty member.
Portlock’s research and photography have been featured in leading publications,
including National Geographic, the National Park Service, and American Birds.
His photography is on permanent exhibit in Virginia State Parks and the Science
Museum of Virginia. He has won numerous awards for his contributions in natural
science and for his photography.
This program is open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
