Holland Audubon Club Meeting – “Misadventures of a Wannabe Wildlife Photographer” by Marty Keirnan

Tuesday, March 10th, 7:00pm

Hope Church, 77 W. 11th St., Holland, MI

Masks optional but encouraged if you’re sniffly

Over the past year, Marty has been quietly clicking away on his camera, all over Michigan, capturing some wonderful images of birds and wildlife near and far…some in our own backyard. Come and enjoy some fantastic glimpses of these amazing creatures, and the vistas we’ve appreciated over the years in our beautiful state of Michigan. Marty thoroughly enjoys returning year after year to some special places that offer the best shots and most of the time he’s rewarded with wonderful pictures he’s shared with us; some images you’ve seen in our newsletter over the years have been from him. Join us as he cracks open his vault to show us many of his greatest bird pictures from 2025 and beyond.

A Holland native, Marty earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology from Grand Valley then did some graduate work in Zoology at Eastern Michigan University, where he briefly taught Zoology as an assistant. He ultimately found his calling in the field of Quality as a Quality Engineer and Quality Manager in Automotive and Aerospace manufacturing for about 35 years. Marty’s first love of Biology was never far, however, and, drawn to nature photography, got his first SLR in college, and, honing his skills over the years, broadened his experience, especially since 2020 when forced into early retirement due to Covid. The main subjects of his “focus” are birds and wildlife, wildflowers and macro work.
