Santa Barbara Audubon and the Santa Barbara Museum of History are pleased to present:
*Birds in Focus: An Evening with Two Santa Barbara County Bird Photographers*
Date: October 7, 2025
Time: 7:00pm
Place: Fleischmann Auditorium at the SB Museum of Natural History
Free - all are welcome to attend!
Join us for this special event featuring two 30-minute illustrated presentations by Santa Barbara County-based photographers – John Callender and Sophie Cameron – followed by audience questions. We are fortunate to have a number of exceptional bird photographers in our community and plan on presenting events with many of them in future Birds in Focus programs.
John Callender will explore how birding led him to photography, driven by the desire to document sightings, study the finer points of identification, and get feedback from experts about challenging species. He’ll discuss how digital photography has transformed his own birding, including examples of his own photos, the evolution of his gear and techniques, and lessons he’s learned along the way.
Sophie Cameron will show a selection of bird and wildlife photos she’s taken over the past seven years and talk about her work as a bird ambassador and naturalist. We’ll also learn about unique birding destinations within Santa Barbara County and the special habitats and species of birds that can be found there.
