SUMMARY:The Lighter Side of Photographing Manatee County's Birds
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of photography with a dose of humor. Courtland White\, a “Snow-Bird” and amateur nature photographer from the mountains of North Carolina has been striving to get that “Perfect Shot” for many years.  Photographing Florida birds is both easy and surprisingly difficult.  Easy\, because many Florida birds are large\, colorful\, and often approachable.  Difficult\, because the competition among the many skilled\, well-equipped – and more patient – photographers here is at such a high level.  Although that unique\, prize-worthy image remains elusive\, Courtland has captured along the way a collection of bird photographs that gave him a “smile.” Enjoy a presentation of Courtland’s photography and the stories that made the photos. \nProgram suitable for adults. Reservations are required. \nTo register please visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/244011443797. For more information please contact aedan.stockdale@mymanatee.org. \nRobinson Preserve – Mosaic NEST
