April 23, 2019 Chapter Meeting:
Native plants play a vital role in supporting many forms of fauna throughout the year in Bexar County and beyond. Trees and shrubs provide foraging, nesting, and roosting opportunities for birds; flowers support many pollinating insects and the predators that feed on them; grasses and other non-woodies offer a variety of food and nesting materials. Avian Specialist, Martin Reid will take you through the annual cycle, exploring the birds, butterflies, bees and other insects that benefit from our native flora.
Martin Reid was born and raised near London, England. In 1986 he had an epiphany with birds and birding that changed his life, causing him to travel widely in search of birds and move to Texas in 1991, his home ever since. Since 1999 he has taken an increasing interest in butterflies and dragonflies, and now combines birds with bugs when he’s in the field (sometimes not in that order…). Martin has found four species of bird new for Texas, five species of dragonfly new for the US, and two species of butterfly new for the US.
