PROGRAMS AT MONTEZUMA
Outdoor Photography Workshop, Sunday July 27, 2:00 pm, Montezuma Audubon Center
Want some tips to better your nature photography? Join Dave Spier, "The Northeast Naturalist" for a hands-on educational workshop. Bring your
digital camera. If the weather is bad, the workshop will still be held indoors. Most of Dave’s life can be summarized as nature, photography and education. An outdoor
writer and professional stock photographer, Dave’s work has covered topics ranging from botany and zoology to geology and travel. His photographs
have appeared in magazines such as The Conservationist and have been used by calendar publishers, ad agencies, and non-profit organizations.
He has led birding hikes, family nature walks, and nature photography hikes at the annual Allegany Nature Pilgrimage, and for many years was the part-time
naturalist at Bayberry Environmental Education Center in Seneca County, New York. For the past few years, he has been a volunteer with the Montezuma Audubon Center.
