| David
Allen Sibley has
agreed to conduct a “Bird Topography” workshop for
us, Saturday morning, following the Annual Dinner. The workshop
will be held in the Duck Club (building) at the San Joaquin
Wildlife Sanctuary in Irvine. David has requested that we limit
the number of workshop participants to 50 people. In this 2-hour
drawing workshop for birders, David Sibley
will demonstrate how he captures the characteristics of the
birds in his renowned field guides. So bring along your sketch
pad and pencils to draw along with him. |

| A largely self-taught
bird illustrator, he was inspired to pursue creating his own
illustrated field guide after leading tours in the 1980s and
1990s, and finding that existing field guides did not generally
illustrate or describe alternate or juvenile bird plumages,
He cites European artist, Lara Jonsson, as a great influence
on his own work. |
| |
| David Sibley has
written and illustrated many articles on bird identification
for Birding and American Birds (now Field Guides), as well as
regional publications and books. He says the intellectual challenge
of identifying birds is what keeps him going, with the opportunity
to learn new things every time he goes in the field. |
| |
| Cost of the workshop
is $75 per person. Space will be limited and the workshop is
almost full, so don’t wait until the last minute to sign
up! For reservations, please send this form and your check (payable
to Sea & Sage Audubon) to: Workshop, c/o Nancy Kenyon, 32
Almond Tree Ln, Irvine CA 92612. |
| |
| Please do not combine
your payment for the dinner and the workshop in one check; write
out a separate check for the workshop. Your ticket for the workshop
will be mailed back to you, so you will need to include a self-addressed
stamped envelope with your workshop reservation form & check.
(Tickets will be mailed on March 3rd.) We expect the workshop
to sell out. |
