NOVEMBER AUDUBON SOCIETY OF GREATER CLEVELAND PROGRAM AT CLEVELAND MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
Wed, Nov 9, 2011; 7 pmWednesday, November 9, 2011 - 7:00 P.M.
What Birds  Taught Me and How to be a Better  Birder/Observer
Jen Brumfield
Cleveland Metroparks & Local Patch  Birding Tours
Rare Book Room, Cleveland Museum of  Natural History 
Birds have captured Jen's soul since  age two, when she began to eagerly ingest every field guide to birds she could  lay hand on, and spent an insatiable amount of time in the field. Awe, respect  and fascination for birds and birding, and the natural world, led Jen to travel  widely at a young age, attending birding camps, field institutes, and working  for the Smithsonian Institute doing breeding bird surveys. Over the years she  has emerged as a nationally recognized birder. In her program she will recount  her experiences in birding and relate how that has shaped her life and career.  This illustrated talk should prove to be deep, light-hearted, funny, observant,  and poetic all wrapped in one. 
Jen Brumfield is a  Naturalist/Artist for Cleveland Metroparks, nationally recognized bird  illustrator, author of multiple natural history field guides, birding tour guide  for Tropical Birding and rep with Nikon’s Birding Optics Prostaff team. Through  her Local Patch Birding Tours Co., she run dozens of specialized birding tours  and field trips throughout Northeast Ohio each year. Jen eagerly combines her  passions for extreme birding, field studies, outdoor education and detailed  scientific illustration into a truly “wild” career. Her illustration work,  specifically featuring birds, can be found in a number of publications,  including the ABA’s Birding magazine and on many birding organization and  conference logos and merchandise (World Series of Birding 2009 & 2010, Rio  Grande Valley Birding Festival 2010, The Biggest Week in American Birding 2010 & 2011). Since 2005, she has written and illustrated six field guides to the  flora and fauna of Cleveland Metroparks. Beyond birds, you can find more than  100 of her odonate illustrations in the second edition of The Dragonflies and  Damselflies of Northeast Ohio. She is currently illustrating a field guide to  Eastern warblers for Eagle Optics.
