Hi All:
Due to illness, our previously scheduled speaker will not be able to come to
Kilmarnock to make a presentation next Monday night. However, due to the
diligent efforts of our program chairman, Nancy Garvey, we will have a
wonderful speaker for the meeting to take Ms. Eiger’s place.
Easy Access Birding Around Florida
Speaker: Bob Schamerhorn
Grace Episcopal Church in Kilmarnock at 7:00 PM
This program displays a spectacular array of species that only Florida can
offer and the easy access places to find them. Contains Swallow-tailed Kites,
Snail Kites, Sandhill Cranes, Roseate Spoonbills, Crested Caracara, Limpkin,
Florida Scrub Jays, Burrowing Owls, Painted Buntings and lots more. Presented
with colorful HD photographs, locality maps and discussion of some of the best
places to birdwatch and view wildlife in Florida from St. Augustine to Orlando,
down to the Everglades and over to Fort De Soto. Great for any level birder,
novice to expert. A printed map with location information is provided for each
attendee.
Bob Schamerhorn, a Virginia native, has had a passion for both nature and art
since childhood. He was mentored throughout his youth by generous members of
the Lynchburg Bird Club, who regularly participated in Virginia Society of
Ornithology (VSO) outings al well. He is a three time alumni of the Virginia
Garden Club’s Nature Camp. After graduating from E.C. Glass High School he
studied Art and Design at Virginia Tech and has worked in art related fields
ever since. He is the owner/operator of Infinity Graphics, a business which was
started in Bedford County in 1996 and moved to Richmond in 2006. The emergence
of digital photography aspired a reconnection with nature photography. Since
then, his images of nature have won several awards and appeared in numerous
publications. His photography is regularly displayed at art festivals and is
published as notecards, fine art prints and an annual calendar. In 2006 he
began a weekly photo-blog at iPhotoBirds.com which has over a thousand viewers
each week. He is a member of the Richmond Audubon Society, the Colonial Nature
Photography Club and Virginia Society of Ornithology. His hope is to educate
and to inspire the conservation of nature, by capturing and sharing its beauty.
He considers himself, “an enthusiast, not an expert!”
Bob has presented programs for NNAS before, but not this particular program.
Those who remember his previous talks know that Bob is a very knowledgeable and
entertaining speaker and a fantastic photographer!
Best wishes,
Bonnie Wilson
