Wil and Donna Hershberger will present "Bird Photography in the Digital Age”

 

Time and Place:  7:30 PM, Caroline County Public Library, 100 Market St., Denton.

Wil Hershberger has been an avid naturalist most of his life. After becoming an accomplished and well-respected birder, photography skills learned in his Dad’s basement darkroom were rekindled. Today his photography has become an extension of his passion for the natural world. He has an innate ability to capture the natural world in an artistic way. A few years ago, Wil and his wife Donna formed Nature Images and Sounds, LLC. Together, they photograph everything from birds to bugs, participate in art shows and teach nature photography workshops. Wil is also an accomplished sound recordist. Most of his recordings, including birds and bugs are archived at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology’s Macauley Library of Natural Sounds. Through their photography and sound recordings, they hope to instill in others the desire to protect and save these sacred natural treasures.

All Caroline County Bird Club events are activities are free and open to the public.
