Join us for our First Wednesday Monthly Meeting with San Diego-based photographer Krisztina Scheeff!

Called the ‘Grebe Whisperer’ by many of her students and fellow photographers, professional wildlife and nature photographer Krisztina Scheef has spent years studying and photographing grebes on Lake Hodges in San Diego County. The unique mating behavior of grebes, rushing, is one of the most photographed of all animal behaviors. Krisztina will take you on a photographic journey into the world of grebes and provide details on why and how they ‘walk on water’ to find a mate. Krisztina will also share stunning photographs of some of her other wildlife favorites.
