About this event
Salem Family Auditorium. Join the Barrington Garden Club for a special presentation on Tuesday, October 20 at 1 pm featuring wildlife photographer, Geoff Dennis. Dennis will be sharing photos of the common and uncommon birds he has photographed in and around his Little Compton yard and why his yard is such is such a bird-friendly place. Geoff Dennis began photographing birds in his yard as a hobby, primarily to document uncommon birds he occasionally observed there. His hobby led to photographing for three manufacturers of bird feeders. Geoff has observed more than 180 species of birds in his yard, including RI’s first Rufous hummingbird in 1995, a western hummingbird, and Rhode Island’s third record of Calliope hummingbird in 2023. He also discovered New England’s first Virginia’s Warbler in Maine. His work has been used by The Nature Conservancy of RI, Audubon Society of RI, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, and Cornell’s online Birds of North America. Free and open to all. Registration required for non-Garden Club members.
