The speaker for February meeting is Carlton Collier, a LTVBC member and adventurer. Carlton will be giving a presentation on some of his travels around the globe to see some of the world’s rarest and unique bird species. The trips have centered on birding but are mostly an excuse to visit exotic countries to see some of the other critters and the cultures that make up this wonderful planet.
A native Houstonian, Carlton Collier, has been afflicted with the passion for nature and its animal life. Growing up, he began traveling to locations where he could experience new species in their element. Birding has been his primary purpose for these forays along with experiencing vastly different cultures. So far, he has traveled to 40 different countries primarily for the purpose of experiencing different cultures and seeing the local wildlife.
Locally, Carlton has been involved with the Houston Citizens Environmental Coalition as a board member and presently is on the board with the Houston Audubon Society’s Sanctuary Committee
Guests and visitors are always welcome. If you have a backyard bird feeder or have an interest in birds and nature, the Lower Trinity Valley Bird Club is a great opportunity to learn more about birds, meet fascinating people, and take part in birding/nature activities.
