-
Back by popular demand, Al Batt, a
Minnesota naturalist and author, is this year's featured
presenter. Al will use his quick wit, renowned storytelling
skills and wonderful photographs to entertain you with bird lore
and wildlife trivia – maybe even a few truths – while explaining
how birds and birding has lowered his cholesterol, reduced
excess fat and his mortgage.
Program Presented by: Al Batt
Al Batt is a writer, speaker,
storyteller and humorist. He was born and raised on a farm near
the village of Hartland in southern Minnesota. He still lives in
Hartland, now in his “Batt Cave” with wife Gail (a.k.a. “The Queen
B”) and their dog, Towhee, a Belgian airhead. Al is a devout
nature nut, famous for his “from-the-heart” storytelling - which
is (usually) a blend of his quick wit and love and knowledge of
nature. He puts these skills to good use in his weekly programs on
many local radio and TV stations. He has been a speaker at outdoor
festivals and conventions all over the United States. Al is also a
prolific writer. He contributes a weekly humor and nature column
to several Minnesota newspapers and has written many articles for
nature and birding magazines, as well as farm periodicals. Wild
Bird Magazine has named him Birder of the Year. He also is the
creator and writer of a popular, nationally syndicated cartoon
strip.
