Presentation: Chasing the Whoopers & Other Great Birds of the Texas Gulf Coast

Join photographer and outdoor author Wendel Withrow for “on the scene” reporting and photographs from the 2025 Whooping Crane Festival in Port Aransas, Texas.

Truly, Wendel’s birding photographs are unlike any you have seen before. Bring $15 to purchase a signed copy of Wendel’s camping and hiking book (now in its second edition.)
