Join us for our post-holiday gathering. Greg Butcher, ASNV Vice-President and Migratory Species Coordinator for the US Forest Service, will be our guest speaker. We’ll learn about waterfowl that visit our area in winter. Please bring a dish to share.

This event is FREE and open to the public.

Greg Butcher first became an Audubon member when he was 11 and his grandfather bought him a membership. He has been bird watching ever since, the last 16 years in the D.C. area. During weekdays, he is the Migratory Species Coordinator for U.S. Forest Service International Programs, working with birds, bats, monarch butterflies, and dragonflies. Greg has previously worked for National Audubon Society, American Birding Association, Partners in Flight, Birder’s World magazine, and Cornell Lab of Ornithology. He studied ecology in Costa Rica with Organization for Tropical Studies and has worked closely with BirdLife International over the past 16 years.
