Gary Woods of Fresno Audubon will be presenting his photography from the past 12 years from Southeast Arizona. Gary is an excellent photographer and birder. Although Southeast Arizona is barely known outside the world of birders, it is rich in biodiversity with many species found nowhere else in the US. Besides photos, he will provide many resources about where to go and how to get started, including birding festivals.
