Annual Meeting: Elections and Your Favorite Bird Pictures
GTAS members will elect officers and share favorite recent bird and bird-habitat photographs in a combined presentation.
Read full meeting information
The program will include the annual elections followed by Your Favorite Bird Pictures.
Dr. Harlan Stewart has again volunteered to prepare photographs submitted in advance as a combined PowerPoint presentation. Contributors will be encouraged to talk briefly about their pictures, including where they were taken. Each contributor should submit no more than about 10 pictures. The photographs should feature birds or bird habitat and should have been taken within the last two years. They do not need to be exhibition quality, especially when the subject is interesting for another reason.
Please submit pictures by the morning of November 14. Email them as attachments to Harlan Stewart. If necessary, use several separate emails. Pictures may be compressed to about 50 percent of their original size to reduce the number of emails needed.
Advance submission is strongly preferred. Depending on the number received, there may be little or no time to show pictures brought to the meeting. Adding pictures on the evening of the program also makes it difficult to move smoothly from one contributor to the next. Anyone planning to show something other than still pictures or a PowerPoint presentation should arrive early enough to work through any technical issues.
The doors will open no later than 6:00 p.m., with light refreshments available at about 6:15 p.m. The meeting begins at 7:00 p.m.
