About the Speakers:
Peter Alden is a world-renowned naturalist, lecturer, ecotourism guide, and author of 16 books on North American and African wildlife, including the National Audubon Society’s Regional Field Guide Series. He is considered to be an authority on birds and larger mammals of the world and is often consulted by the media and the ecotourism industry for his expertise.
Chuck Carney is an amateur photographer who enjoys seeing and experiencing new things and improving his skills as an artist. He has been fortunate enough to travel for work and since retired, has continued those travels for pleasure, lugging his 30lbs of camera gear when he can. Chuck is a member of several birding clubs and has contributed photographs to various birding groups in the Greater Boston area. In recent years he has focused on bird photography, mostly in North and South America. "Capturing pictures of birds in their environment has been an educational journey and challenging to be in the right place, at the right time, in the right light, with the right settings and quick reflexes to get the right shot. But when you do get it right, it’s a great feeling."
