After transferring to Jefferson Laboratory from the Northeast, physicist, avid birder, and amateur photographer, Michael Lowry was delighted to discover Newport News Park and the twice monthly bird walk sponsored by HRBC. The rich and varied habitat of the park is home or way station to a large and diverse bird population. Photographing his sightings in the park, he has captured images of over 125 bird species in less than three years. These form a collection of sometimes amusing, sometimes amazing, and sometimes absolutely awful photos which he will share at the February meeting.
