Please see https://massbird.org/ecoc for registration and / or Zoom details Iceland abounds with natural splendor: waterfalls and glaciers, panoramic views and otherworldly landscapes. During the summer months, Iceland’s round-the-clock sunlight draws in a panoply of nesting birds: Atlantic puffins, razorbills, guillemots, phalaropes, godwits and more. Come along with wildlife photographer and Mass Audubon instructor Shawn Carey as he shares images and stories from his journey to Iceland, with a special focus on two Icelandic islands that attract thousands of nesting seabirds each summer. You’ll learn some helpful wildlife photography tips along the way. /This event is co-sponsored by the Peabody Essex Museum./Shawn Carey, cofounder of Migration Productions, travels extensively to nature hotspots and produces bird and wildlife related multimedia presentations, videos and photo workshops. Originally from Pennsylvania, Carey moved to Boston, Massachusetts in 1986 and has been photographing birds and other wildlife for over 25 years. He has been teaching wildlife photography for Mass Audubon for the past 18 years. He is on the board of directors for Eastern Mass HawkWatch, where he serves as Vice President. He is also on the advisory board for the Massachusetts Audubon Society and Mass Audubon Museum of American Bird Art. Shawn co-founded Migration Productions in 1996 with Jim Grady and the two have produced all its projects; Carey provides almost all digital photography used in their productions. His photos have been published in the /Boston Globe/, the /New York Times/, /Science/magazine and many other publications. “I LOVE the natural world; if it walks, crawls, flies, swims or slithers…I’ll photograph it!” he says.
