Join Space Coast Audubon Society for our November 15th Meeting “See You Out There”

By Jim Eager, Space Coast Audubon Society Publicity Chair

  • WHERE:  Rockledge Presbyterian Church, 921 Rockledge Dr, Rockledge, FL.
  • WHEN:   November 15, 2013 at 7:30 pm

Tom Dunkerton of Thomas J. Dunkerton Photography will be our speaker and will be presenting See "You Out There"

Tom is a birding and photography fixture locally here along the Space Coast in Brevard County and around Florida.  Anyone who goes to Merritt Island NWR on a regular basis has undoubtedly crossed paths with Tom.  Throughout his childhood, Tom was always involved in the arts and nature. Growing up in New York he had the best of both worlds.  Having always been a casual birder, upon moving to Florida in 1995, birding became a more serious hobby.

Tom started photographing birds and wildlife in 2003 as it seemed a natural progression, to couple photography with birding.  He has worked as a seasonal field research technician for the Florida Scrub-jay Program on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, a Merritt Island National Wildlife refuge volunteer, and has had many images published in various local and national publications.  As a member of the Nikon Pro Staff since 2007 Tom has represented Nikon at various birding events around the country promoting and showcasing Nikon sports optics.  And, I’m sure he has answered his share of photography questions as his photography equipment of choice is also Nikon.

In addition, to leading field trips, he hosts digiscoping and photography seminars.  At the Space Coast Birding & Wildlife Festival he conducts a digiscoping workshop entitled, “It’s a Beautiful Thing”.

Come and join us for an incredible photographic journey into the world of one of the region’s premier nature photographers.  We are looking forward to another great turnout.
