Did you know Ontario has 501 species of birds to possibly photograph? Our spring migration greatly increases the odds of spotting many of these species. Some will only be in our area for a short period of time. Often you will only have seconds to photograph one, while others may stick around for a few days. My goal is to help you get better images of them, know where to go and when, and learn more about some of these birds we are very lucky to photograph. Join Chris Pepper, a photography guide, workshop instructor and public speaker for a night of fun and learning experiences.  facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.pepper.9421 website: http://www.northof49photography.com/ Existing Members: You do not need to register for this event.  Prospective members and Guests:  There is a fee of $12 for non-members.
