Big Waterbirds Galore
Arnie Fredrickson
Everything you wanted to know about water birds and more! Arnie Frederickson will be presenting a slideshow on sandhill cranes, trumpeter and tundra swans, snow geese, and white pelicans. Arnie is retired from the University of Minnesota where he served as a member of the faculty of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science. He got hooked on photography at the age of 32 when he received a Kodak Instamatic camera for his birthday. Arnie started out photographing wildflowers and landscapes. He discovered white pelicans at age 66 and was hooked. Soon he included tundra and trumpeter swans, herons and egrets, and sandhill cranes in his passion for the big birds. Arnie also serves as the volunteer trumpeter swan monitor for the Three Rivers Park District.
