- **Event Name**: The Birds of the Great Plains: Through Our Lens
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Apr, 2026 at 01:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Public Talk by Gabriel Rivera and Jennifer Blankenship

We invite you to join us on a visual journey through the heart of Kansas, where the Central Flyway carries millions of birds across the continent each year. Based in Omaha, we live at a natural crossroads, where the deciduous forests of the east meet the grasslands of the Great Plains and the doorway to the Rockies begins. It’s a landscape that reflects the incredible diversity of birds that pass through and call this region home. Our presentation tells the story of how we discovered the world of birding and, in time, how photography became our way of exploring it more deeply. Drawing on our backgrounds in biology and psychology, we’re fascinated not only by how birds look, but by how they live: their behavior, their character, and their connection to the landscapes they inhabit. Through images and stories, we share an intimate look at the birds of the Grate Plains and beyond, and we hope to inspire a deeper appreciation for the beauty and wonder waiting all around us.

Gabriel and Jennifer live in Omaha, where he is a biology professor at Creighton University and she works as a counselor. When not at work or behind the camera, they love spending time with their family and planning their next outdoor adventure — always with that next picture in mind.

This event is free and open to the public.
