Local naturalist and nature photographer Gary Lee will present an illustrated talk on Banding Local Birds at View on Sunday, March 17 at 2 p.m.
The program is part of the Science on Sunday programming held in the Eco Gallery.
Lee was an area DEC Forest Ranger for 35 years and has worked for 14 years with the Biodiversity Research Institute watching and banding loons.
His outdoor column, Daybreak to Twilight, appears in The Weekly Adirondack newspaper. He has published several photos and articles in Adirondack Life, among other publications.
He is also co-author of Adirondack Birds and has banded birds at his home in Inlet and throughout the Adirondacks for many years.
An artists’ reception for Lee, his son Mitch, and Forestport artist Constance B. Smith will be held in conjunction with View’s current exhibition, The Wild Life, from 3:30 to 5 p.m.
The event will mark the closing of the exhibit, Things We Share From Our Woods, a display of photographs and illustrations by Gary and Mitch, respectively, which has been on display since January.
Science on Sunday programs are presented on the first and third Sundays of each month and are jointly sponsored by the Henry Kashiwa Eco Gallery at View and by the Central Adirondacks Arts and Sciences Advocacy.
