These small, energetic birds with their vibrant colors and patterns, endearing behavior and spectacular migrations fascinate birders and casual observers alike. Where do warblers originate? Why do they migrate such great distances? Where and how do we find them? Tom shares his fascination with wood-warblers as he explores their origins, destinations and diversity of niches. Ohio, with its diversity of habitats, happens to be one of the best locations in the United States to seek out both migrating and resident warblers. Tom will share some of his favorite "hotspots" to view and photograph warblers. We will wind up the program with a fun and informative photographic "birder's quiz" (field and ID guides allowed!). A native of Columbus, Ohio, Tom has held an interest in all things natural, living or inanimate, ever since he can remember. Much of his free time growing up was spent in woods and afield camping, fishing, hunting mushrooms, watching and photographing wildlife, and exploring the natural world with his Dad and Granddad. Tom currently serves as trustee for Columbus Audubon, and is active in conservation and naturalist groups including The Nature Conservancy, the Wheaton Club and the Columbus Natural History Society. Tom and his wife, Donna, own and operate Wild Birds Unlimited on Riverside Drive. Also an avid photographer, Tom still spends his free time much as he did at an early age, chasing the light and enjoying the wild side of life. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
