Bird Photography Classes Offered in March
Sacajawea Audubon is pleased to offer two bird photography classes as part of our 50th Anniversary celebration! Both classes will be taught by well-known local photographer Carol Polich. These in-depth classes will be a great precursor to our Tom Murphy Photography Workshop being held in May.
Carol has been widely published in the USA and internationally with her photos and travel adventure stories since the early 1990’s. She not only continues to travel and work with a variety of publishers but she also leads several photo workshops in the western USA. During the year, Polich currently teaches a variety of highly successful photography classes through the Bozeman Adult Community Education program.
