This Month's Program:

Birding Texas Style
in the Rio Grande Valley
Presenter: Luciano Guerra

Get up close and personal to some of the wild residents that make south Texas their home. For the February 16 program TexNEP will host "Birding Texas Style In the Rio Grande Valley" by Luciano Guerra.

Guerra, an award winning photographer and life-long Valley resident, will present a unique presentation about South Texas wildlife through his award-winning photographs.

This program will explore birds of the Valley, background information about photos that Mr. Guerra has captured, photography tips, and an interactive birding-by-ear activity. Guerra's program is informative as well as entertaining thanks to the way he interjects humorous comments and shares anecdotes throughout his presentation.

Born and raised in Mission, Guerra has won several photography awards including Best of Contest and the People's Choice award in the Small Tract Competition of the Valley Land Fund's wildlife photo contest. His photos will be available for sale after the program and are also available through his website:
