Capturing Winged Beauty
The first exhibition exclusively about birds at Morgan Outdoors opens Saturday, June 25th through July 24th. The public is invited to the opening reception of “Birds of Sullivan County, A Photographic Exhibition” on Friday, June 24th from 4:00 5:30pm. Photographers include Stephen Davis of Eldred, Gene McGarry of Woodstock and Valerie Freer of Ellenville, NY among other notables.
Local nature photographer and birding enthusiast, Scott Graber, is the exhibition curator. The show is an engaging look into the diversity of species and habitat that exist in the region. It will include maps of major birding areas, an Eye Spy game for children, and guided bird walks during the exhibition period. The public can pick up a copy of Sullivan County Audubon’s list of bird species and head out to experience birding of their own.
Framed photographs will be for sale, as well as numbered and signed prints, with a portion of the proceeds donated to two local conservation organizations, Sullivan County Audubon and the Bashakill Area Association.
The photography exhibition is timed to coincide with Audubon Week in Livingston Manor. Other bird-loving events include: the “Audubon and Friends” art show at Flour Power Bakery in Livingston Manor, whose opening reception at 5:30pm on June 24th immediately follows this exhibition’s reception; the Audubon Arts and Crafts Fair at Waterwheel Junction Sunday, June 26th 11am - 3pm,; and an 8am Birdwalk at Sonoma Falls on Sunday 26th.
All events are in Livingston Manor, NY, with easy access from Route 17 at exit 96.
