Birds of the San Gabriel Mountains: A Personal Story
Presented by Luke Tiller
Birdwatcher and photographer Luke Tiller will present his program on the birds of the San Gabriel Mountains at the April 3 chapter meeting at the San Bernardino County Museum, 2024 Orange Tree Lane, in Redlands, at 7:30 p.m.
He will show his photography and also provide tips on how and where to find and identify some of the special birds that call the San Gabriel Mountains home.
“Birds provide more than a flash of color and enticing calls in our local mountains. They are a major element of the forest ecosystem, spreading seeds, catching prey, and providing food for other animals,” says Luke.
Luke will also discuss some of the resources and gear available to help you become a more successful birdwatcher - all illustrated by his own bird photography.
Luke has been employed as a hawk watcher all over the world, has traveled extensively as a natural history tour guide, and currently sits on the board of Pasadena Audubon. His article “Eight of the Best Hawk Watching Sites in the U.S” was published in Audubon magazine in the fall of 2016.
