Gulls of North America by Fred Shaffer

Prince George’s Audubon Society and the Patuxent Bird Club are honored to present Fred Shaffer as our featured February speaker.  Fred Shaffer has worked for M-NCPPC for over 25 years and for the majority of that time has focused on bicycle, pedestrian, and trails issues. He has also worked with the National Park Service for over twenty years to implement the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail in Prince George’s County.  During all this time Fred also studied and photographed almost all of the Gulls of North America.  He has presented his unique perspective on Gull identification complete with photos, charts, descriptions, and plumage information in his book Gulls of North America.  Fred’s presentation has captured his audiences.  Wherever he may be, Fred is always willing to share his knowledge with others.  Thank you Fred for agreeing to talk with us.
