James Lee Stern (center) and David Hume Kennerly, friends and fellow photographers, join me at the Santa Monica Mountains Interagency Visitor Center for “The Art of Backyard Bird Photography.” David is off to photograph the presidential election for CNN; Jim is off in search of another trailer or boat to photograph; and I’m just glad to have friends like this.

So nice of the folks at the venue to send out this email. What an honor to be displayed by the National Park Service. 
This is the show. Looks pretty neat like this. 
“The Art of Backyard Bird Photography” runs from July 2-July 30, 2016, including 20 bird photographs from my book BACKYARD BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY. I’m here at the opening of the show.
I signed them all and here’s a Hooded Oriole, Blue Jay, Allen’s Hummingbird, and Western Scrub-Jay, Ruby-throated Hummingbird.
Pen in hand. I dutifully forge onward to the Santa Monica Mountains Visitor Center show in July 2016 of my exhibition entitled “The Art of Backyard Bird Photography.”
