*November 14 Monthly Meeting*
*Urban Exploits from an Animal Control Officer – Michael Barnett*
Michael Barnett has been a photographer since 2016. In 2019, he focused on wildlife photography. His primary subjects are owls and pelagic birds. His love of both birds stems from his Humane/Animal Control Officer career since 2018 in Solano County. Through this, he frequently comes into close contact with injured birds of prey. As an ACO, he began to learn more about birds of prey in urban settings. He further expanded this knowledge through personal study and became a volunteer for the UC Davis Raptor Center. His love of pelagic bird photography was sparked after his first pelagic tour out of Half Moon Bay in 2022 with Alvaro’s Adventures. He specializes in raptor identification and finding owl nests in urban environments.
