Presentations

BirdNUTZ bird-related presentations are of an entertaining, or instructive nature, and usually, both. I have a large collection of images from which to draw, most of which I have taken. I do presentations about birding in California, Alaska, Hawaii and Costa Rica. I can cover the birds found in these locations by family grouping or habitats. I can also cover subjects like plumage, migration, behavior, and sounds. Images and sound are merged and presented digitally. Indoor presentations can run from 30 minutes to 2 hours (with a short intermission). Presentations can be combined with a field trip.

Photography

Photography by Les Chibana/BirdNUTZ are available for publication. Please look at some of the images at the Photos link for examples. These are typically cropped and formatted for optimum subject visibility, browser download times, and documentary purposes. Look for an upcoming photo gallery on this site with images of a more artistic nature. Please contact me for images that I might have, usage rights, and reasonable pricing.

Gift Certificates

Gift certificates are available for your birding friends and loved ones. Attractive, handmade certificates are created by my wife, Mary Elsener, and provide a stunning presentation for your gift. And, of course, you can purchase as many trips as you want for your gift.

Graphic Design and Production

My other "hat" is Chibana Design, graphic design and production. If you have need for a well-thought out and designed printed communication, an ad to place in a publication, or a website, let's talk! I can outsource Flash and back-end programming if your web needs encompass these functionalities.

Macintosh Computer Tutoring

If you're having trouble keeping up with computer technology in our ever-digitizing world, and your computer of choice is an Apple Macintosh, talk to me. I can help. I have many more years of experience than I care to think of life with a Macintosh. As a graphic designer who embraced the Mac from its inception, I have spent more hours sitting in front of a Mac than any normal person. I have lived and breathed Macintoshes in a networked environment, troubleshot them at their worst behavior, and coaxed more life out of old models than was necessary. I've been managing computer systems for so long that when I acquired my former company's domain name, three letter domain names were still available! I first added an external drive to our office computer when the choice was between a 5- and a 10-Megabyte hard drive. I even awaited and saw the first Macintosh TV ad, dubbed "1984". If you need help taming your Mac, talk to me! My rates are reasonable, especially because I understand your frustration. Your experience with computers doesn't have to be that way. My service area is limited to a resonable driving distance from the South San Francisco Bay Area.
