Wednesday, September 9, 2026: Travelers – Shorebirds of the Northern Hemisphere

Photographs and fascinating stories about shorebirds from North America, Europe, and Asia. By Joakim Ed – Self employed Avian Photographer.

A little about me:I normally live on the southwest coast of Sweden, where the East Atlantic Flyway — and thousands of migrating shorebirds — pass almost through my backyard. This year, I have the pleasure of spending time in New Jersey. I have been a birder since childhood, and over the years I have given several photo exhibitions and presentations for birding and photography clubs.

Wednesday, November 11: The First Time: Birding New South Wales in Spring by Rick Wright

The First Time: Birding New South Wales in Spring by Rick Wright.

In person at the Union Congregation Church in Upper Montclair.

Birding can take us to the ends of the earth, or at least to Montclair’s near-antipode on the vast continent of Australia. From kangaroos to currawongs, even the briefest of visits to the tiniest bit of the east coast is full of natural wonders. Join Rick Wright for an introduction to birding “down under,” illustrated with photos by his companions on this inaugural trip, Ric Cohn and Sandy Sorkin.

A member of the Montclair Bird Club executive board and a widely published writer, Rick Wright leads Birds and Art tours for Victor Emanuel Nature Tours, ventbird.com.
