The Lane County Audubon Society will feature one of its own volunteers, Dennis Arendt, at our January 28 program. Dennis will share his thoughts on why birding is good for you, along with many of his photos, taken in both exotic and local birding hotspots.
He has found that the rewards of birding are not confined to identifying birds and checking them off on your list. Many aspects of birding go much deeper, contributing to one’s good health, positive attitudes, and the creation of lasting friendships. Over the years, Dennis has accumulated a lot of experiences birding and traveling, mostly with a small group of close friends. His journeys have been focused on birds, culture, scenery, and self-discovery. Don’t come expecting a lot of data and research studies in this program. Do expect to enjoy birding through the eyes of an enthusiastic traveler and a keen observer.
Dennis and his wife, Mary, moved to Eugene from Chicago in 1975. They have two daughters and two granddaughters. Dennis started birding shortly before moving to Eugene. He taught bird identification classes in the LCC Continuing Education program for many years. He retired as an elementary school principal in Eugene after 34 years in education both here and in Chicago.
Enjoy this program with your friends on January 28, Tuesday, 7 pm at the Campbell Center (155 High Street). The doors open at 6:30. A Zoom link to this program will be available on the LCAS website about one week before the event. This program will also be recorded, then posted on our website within a week, for members who cannot attend in person.
