"What a joy to have author Sneed B. Collard III as the keynote speaker at our 19th Annual Ute Mountain Mesa Verde Birding Festival in Cortez, Colorado. Sneed is one of those rare people who are both personally engaging and an entertaining public speaker. He came to our attention in a rather serendipitous way, so we were happily surprised and grateful to have him as an avid and enthusiastic participant, and co-leader of three tours. His keynote was both heartwarming and funny, and everyone seemed to enjoy hearing him speak, capping off a memorable festival."
