In February of 2021 he spoke about Eastern Bluebirds (zoom meeting!) and in March of 2022 he spoke to us about Purple Martins. At our January meeting he gave a very informative talk on dragonflies. He wore the perfect tee shirt for his presentation! He suggested using The Beginners Guide to Dragonflies if we want a good easy to use guidebook.
