Tannar Cliffe will be presenting his Magic of Monarchs program at our May meeting. He has had a life-long interest in insects which in the past few years has broadened to include birds and many other forms of wildlife. These interests have been enhanced by his expanding abilities as a photographer. He has been a member of the Bainbridge-Guilford Envirothon Team which has represented his region in the state competition for the past two years. For several years he has participated in the Monarch Watch Project by raising and tagging Monarch butterflies. From this work he has developed a program entitled “The Magic of Monarchs” which he has presented to Audubon Groups, birds clubs, and garden clubs.

Tannar will be graduating from Bainbridge-Guilford Central School in June. He looks forward to college study at SUNY ESF in the biological sciences where he will pursue his interests in the natural world.
