The Photography Club of Long Island (PCLI) is hosting a presentation on Bird Photography by the North Shore Audubon Society on Wednesday, April 10, 2024 at 7:30 pm in the Lapham Room at the Port Washington Public Library and is open to the public.  The presentation will highlight local Long Island birds and the upcoming migration of summer birds coming to our area.  Four members of North Shore Audubon will share their excellent bird photos and discuss their technical approach to getting great bird images.  Attached are some images of their work.

Guest speakers for the evening include:

Eric Titcomb got into birding and photography about 16 years ago when on a family trip out west he noticed that the birds were different from the ones he saw in New York. Eric says, “traveling to different parts of the world with my wife Judy is my passion, and bird photography is the cherry on top.

Jennifer Wilson-Pines has loved birds since age 10 when her parents put up a birdfeeder. She has been active with the North Shore Audubon Society since 1997 as Conservation Chair, field trip leader,  Newsletter editor, and past President.

Ashley Pichon officially started birding in March of 2022, with the North Shore Audubon Society. She bought her camera around the same time and began learning bird photography alongside traditional birding. Both quickly became an obsession. 

Peggy Maslow upgraded her camera gear so she could photograph shore birds that she needed help identifying.  For several years she did shorebird surveys at Jones Beach West End. Peggy loves taking bird photos, especially of unusual or rare birds or when birds are singing or in interesting poses.  Peggy is a board member of North Shore Audubon, Chair of the Education committee and a past President.
