Overview   Step into the Adirondack wilderness, slow your pace, and use all of your senses to locate and photograph an exciting variety of potential subjects. 
    June is prime time for woodland birds and it is hard to find a more picturesque (and productive) setting than the Adirondacks.  We will learn and practice various techniques in the field that allow an up-close look at feathered jewels like woodland warblers, thrushes, woodpeckers, and more.
    While birds will be the main focus of this weekend there are many other subjects that you are likely to capture including wildflowers, butterflies, frogs, ducks, loons, and of course, landscapes.
    As part of the program, Eric will present a slide show / lecture discussing a wide range of wildlife subjects and the techniques used to create images of them.
