Catherine Hamilton will present an around-the-world story of how an artist fell full-time into the world of professional birding. Illustrated with incredible drawings, photos, and paintings, the lecture goes from NYC to LA, to Central and South America to Morocco and Nagaland, India, on a whirlwind of constant, awe-inspiring journeys. Catherine set out to learn everything she could about bird species around the globe, but ended up finding deep connections to people and conservation efforts on a distinctly local level, wherever she visited.
