Our speaker for the evening will be Mr. Greg Miller. In 1998, Greg zigzagged across the continent to try to see as many species of birds in one calendar year as possible. It was an incredible experience passing the 700-species mark—an achievement many birders aspire to in an entire lifetime. But there was competition. Two other birders, Sandy Komito and Al Levantin, also broke the 700-mark that same year. Greg will entertain us with tales from that competitive experience, as well as stories of growing up as a birder, listing and how he came to do a big year. He will also discuss Mark Obmascik's book The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature, and Fowl Obsession and working on the 2011 20th Century Fox filmThe Big Year and his experience on the set with Jack Black, Steve Martin, and Owen Wilson.
Greg will be joining us for the social hour! He's looking forward to meeting Club members, posing for pictures and signing autographs! You DON'T want to miss THIS meeting!!
