This program is based on the photographic experiences that Jim he has had over the past 35 years in the field. His travels will take us localling right here in Connecticut to the far reaches of Alaska with a plethora of his fabulous photos. The program will conclude with a presentation of Jim's favorite images set to music. Jim's photos
have been published widely in a great variety of magazines, calendars,
and books, including a book he and Jim Roetzel just published, The Birds of New England. He is also
the owner of The Fat Robin Wild Bird and Nature Shop in Hamden, which
he
operates with his wife and partner Carol. Jim has been photographing
nature and wildlife for over 35 years. His first published photograph
was of a Saw-Whet Owl in "The
National Audubon Society's Encyclopedia of North American Birds" in
1980. Since then his award winning
images have been published regularly and have been featured in hundreds
of publications from National Geographic
Magazine, Time Magazine, GEO and Audubon to Birder's World, Wildbird,
Discovery, Nature Conservancy and ABA's Birding Magazine as well as
numerous books and field
guides. He travels throughout North America from Alaska to Florida and
Mexico in search of new images with Alaska being a
favorite that draws him back again and again. Jim is represented by
agencies around the
world and also keeps his own stock files to work with as well. In
addition to being a photographer, Jim banded hawks for 18 years at his
hawk banding
station at Lighthouse Point in New Haven, CT shich is one of New
England's premier hawk migration locations with thousands of hawks
being counted
