May Speaker - Danny Brown
At the May 15th meeting, we welcome back one of our most popular speakers, Danny Brown. Danny is a lifelong Missourian from the Ozark Highlands. He is a freelance wildlife photographer specializing in Missouri natural history and a biologist with the Missouri Department of Conservation. Danny can be found traipsing through woods and prairies or plying Ozark streams and big rivers, looking for natural moments to capture with his digital camera. Danny’s exquisite photos have been featured on the covers of Birdwatching, Missouri Conservationist, Outdoor Illinois, and Big River magazines, and the Missouri Natural Events Calendar. Other publications include Colorado Outdoors, National Wildlife, and St. Louis Magazine. Recently, Danny’s image of pileated woodpecker nestlings along the Washington, Missouri riverfront was published in National Geographic’s Backyard Guide to Birds of North America.
