I Only Bird When I'm Awake (Holiday Party)
Gary Gerrone Wed, December 3 @ 6PM Nature Center at Shaker Lakes (in person and virtual) Join us for our annual holiday party! Enjoy a meal with friends and fellow birders followed by a talk from Gary Gerrone. "Conjure up in your mind the image of a stereotypical birdwatcher. Then picture yourself working for one. There was no way this was going to work -- until it did — and boy did it! Within a year, birding consumed my life, and when I wasn’t birding, I was, well, still birding. Be it at lunch, driving, golfing, traveling, or even sleeping. This seriously funny program tells the tales of learning, seeking, finding, identifying, and enjoying birds, and of how birds made me a better naturalist and a better person." - Gary Gerrone Gary S. Gerrone is a Naturalist, Writer, Musician, Bird Caller, Father of Twins, and a Relator of Things. He served as the award-winning Naturalist Supervisor for most of his 30+ year career with the Lorain County Metro Parks. Gary’s writing resume includes over 500 published pieces including his long- running nature column and the authoring of the book Lorain County Metro Parks: The First Fifty Years. Gary is a highly regarded birder, and well-known for his bird calls, as well as his historical musical presentations. A 6-year stint as the Park Manager for Geneva and Headlands Beach State Parks recently brought Gary’s employment years to an end. He now spends his retirement birding, writing, presenting, and trying to figure out how to introduce birds to his grandchild during her first year of life. Ticket purchase is required to attend this event in person; purchase covers cost of food and drink. |
