This is a Wings over Whidbey Free Festival Event
In-person and Zoom
Wings Over Whidbey's Thursday evening program “Birds in Flight” is presented by our keynote speaker Peter Cavanagh. Peter has been working on a new book manuscript on bird flight, which will go to the publishers in May. During his talk he will recount stories behind the shots and their locations and have insights about the birds and their behavior. He will also focus on illuminating the mechanics of bird flight.
Peter Cavanagh
Cavanagh is a resident of Lopez Island, Washington who travels around the world to photograph birds in flight. He was raised and educated in the United Kingdom and had a long career in academia (Penn State, the Cleveland Clinic, University of Washington) studying the mechanics of human movement on earth and during spaceflight. His interest in bird flight photography and flight mechanics developed naturally from his professional background and insights into aerodynamics gained during completion of an instrument rating as a private pilot. His images have been included three times in the Audubon magazine’s “Top 100 Bird Photographs of the Year” by the Audubon Society.
