An exhibition of images from the recent publication “Waterbirds” selected by the photographer. Mr. Cross felt that these twenty-three images were among his finest. This first-ever presentation was a fitting tribute to the memory of a dedicated birder and conservationist who felt that “preserving the lands where these birds are found is one of the most important legacies we can leave to our grandchildren and future generations.”
In Memoriam - Theodore Lamont (Ted) Cross passed away on February 28, 2010 in Fort Myers, Florida. He was an accomplished author, pubisher, civil rights activist and bird photographer. In 1989, at the invitation of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, he became the first Westerner to visit the Kolyma River Delta of the Eastern Siberian Arctic, where he photographed the Ross's Gull, a rare Arctic seabird. His photographs appear in his books, Birds of the Sea, Shore and Tundra, and Waterbirds. he was the founder of Birders United, an organization that served as a watchdog group holding government officials accountable for their actions impacting birds and their habitats.
