Dr. Sue Frary will present a program for folks interested in Texas birds and photographing them as a means to understanding bird identification, ecology, and conservation.  She’ll cover the ethics of bird photography as well as camera basics, with setup suggestions for backyards, car blinds, and open field photography. Program attendees are guaranteed a digital Painted Bunting and an Elf Owl, among others including bats in perilous circumstances.

Sue is a member of Indian Trail Chapter - Texas Master Naturalist (class of 2016). She holds a bachelor’s degree from Bennington College and a doctorate in biochemistry from the University of Vermont. She first developed a love of photography and a passion for conservation from Eliot Porter’s photographs of the California redwoods. Her photographic interests range from flowers, to desert and mountain landscapes, and to birds of all sorts.
