A renowned Central New York photographer, Meg Schader, has stepped into the limelight with her debut bird photography exhibit titled ‘Beauty of Birds.’ The venue for this enchanting display is the Baltimore Woods Nature Center in Marcellus. The exhibition is a testament to Schader’s deep love for birds, an interest that took flight about two years ago when she spotted a Great Horned Owl on her farm in Jordan. Unfortunately, this particular owl does not feature in the exhibit.

‘Beauty of Birds’: An Extraordinary Collection

The exhibit offers a vivid array of bird photographs, capturing the essence of avian life in its manifold forms. Each photo is a unique testament to Schader’s skill and dedication, radiating the beauty and diversity of bird species. Yet, the ‘Beauty of Birds’ exhibit goes beyond being a mere display of stunning photographs.

Adding a unique twist to the visitor’s experience, the exhibit also showcases nests from the nature center’s collection. These nests correspond to the bird species featured in Schader’s photographs, providing a comprehensive insight into the lives of these feathered creatures.

Creating Wildlife Habitats: A Noble Objective

The ‘Beauty of Birds’ exhibition serves a noble cause – promoting the importance of creating more wildlife habitats. It uses the allure of bird photography to draw attention to the vital role that humans can play in preserving and fostering natural habitats for birds.
