Birds and Butterflies in My Backyard

Jack Cochran

Jack Cochran is a Texas Master Naturalist in the Good Water Chapter, Williamson County.  His fascination with nature was sparked by birds, and he's been a birder for over 40 years.  More recent interests in butterflies and other pollinators, dragonflies and damselflies, and plants, have been encouraged by using photography and the wonderful citizen science platform, iNaturalist. 

Jack is currently obsessed with using a black-light to help photo-document nocturnal insects in his suburban Georgetown backyard.  He is also involved in the Texas Nature Trackers effort sponsored by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, which involves using camera traps to record mammals in Williamson County, including two areas in Sun City.

Jack's presentation will start with a photo hike through his backyard to illustrate favorite bird and butterfly sightings, and then expand into other notable records Jack has made of Texas wildlife.
