“. . . It is only with intelligent human effort to balance the natural, the civic, and the economic needs of the community that a better world can be created—one that will serve all creatures great and small.”
These words were written by May’s guest speaker, Ray Chancellor, descendant of Geoffrey Chaucer (yes, that Chaucer of the Canterbury Tales), a retired educator, birder, regular contributor to the Southlake Cove Journal, nature photographer and ecologist. While employed as an educator, Dr. Chancellor also banded birds for 25 years for the federal and Texas wildlife departments. In addition, he has transformed his backyard into a nature sanctuary with seven gardens, a gazebo and a koi pond. A long-time student of local environmental changes, Dr. Chancellor teaches the importance of preserving the ecosystem at Bob Jones Park in Southlake. Clearly, nature is his passion, preserving the ecosystem his mission and bird identification his specialty.
