Eric is a fabulous presenter. Entertaining and knowledgeable. Please invite him back for any other topics he speaks about. The accompanying pictures were wonderful.

I liked everything about the presentation! His slides were engaging and well illustrated and I liked small things like the way he used a woman's voice for some of the narratives. This is the second one of Eric's presentations I have attended and hope he does more!

Speaker was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. Love the confluence of art and science.

Eric was articulate, very well informed and the talk was a delight.

Simon's pictures added so much to the presentation - and it is such a pleasant to listen to a well-organized and presented "lecture" with such nice slides - and the "voice" of Potter was such a nice addition.

Eric is amazing with this depth and breadth of knowledge. I always learn more that I expect from his presentations. Presentations are clear, concise and captivating. This is my, by far, my favorite program. After watching his Audubon presentation, i eagerly awaited this one, counting down the days.

I loved the illustrations and the detailed stories. The presenter was so well prepared and the lecture moved along at the right speed.
