BUTTERFLY MONITORING

Do you like to watch butterflies or try to attract them to your garden?  Would you like to learn more about butterfly watching?  Jeanette Klodzen, a PWA member, will share her monitoring experiences at Spring Valley and introduce some of the wonderful "Flying Flowers" of the Chicago region.  For information on butterflies and moths found in Illinois, check the IL Dept. of Natural Resources (DNR) website at: http://dnr.state.il.us/lands/education/MOTH/index.htm

Arlene Koziol, photographer and avid bird watcher, will  share her experiences of dealing with challenges of nature and bird photography. With a keen eye and an immense amount of patience, she has captured a wide variety of bird species and mammals in their native habitat, as well as other aspects of nature. Some of the things Arlene will share are photographing aerial images from a small plane in Alaska, grizzly bears in the rain in Alaska, water birds from a boat in Florida, mosquito infested wetlands in Chicagoland and hawks at HawkWatch in high winds. (Please note: We will have a bird walk at Spring Valley prior to the start of the meeting, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.) __________________________________________________________________________
