Having traveled all over Iowa, much of the US, and many other countries, I've created many slide shows and lectures through the years. These presentations run the gauntlet, from migrating spring warblers and other birds, to nature photography techniques, the life-cycle of the Common Loon, the American Bald Eagle, America's Birds of Prey, and destinations such as New Mexico's Bosque delApache. Over-seas topics include Antarctica, South Georgia Island, Botswana, and Zambia. And, based upon a recent request from the University of Iowa, I've created a science-based presentation featuring Climate Change and the effects upon our planet's wildlife. My fee is generally $150 (but negotiable) plus mileage (if more than 30 miles away). The duration of each presentation is about 50 minutes, with 10 minutes for Q & A.The following is a list of presentations.
