Youll see spectacular scenery, meet interesting people, and, of course, see some great birds! Barry will share stories and images of his travels to Monhegan Island off the coast of Maine and report on a field painting trip to Acadia National Park. Then hell introduce us to destinations as diverse as the fenlands of England, the coastal forests of Peru, and a bird migration hotspot in Israel. Barry is an internationally recognized wildlife artist whose articles and paintings have been featured in a wide array of magazines as well as natural history books and pocket guides. Elected a full member of Londons Society of Wildlife Artists, his work has been exhibited in many European and US galleries.
