Marilyn Lorenz- Butterflies of the Valley

Marilyn has been a Texas Master Naturalist since 2015 and is a regular nature guide leader at the South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center and does turtle patrols at Sea Turtle Inc. She has done many presentations in the Valley using her husband Chuck’s photos and also writes articles for various local newspapers. She was always an outdoor girl fascinated by the nature to be seen all around and constantly bringing home unexpected guests in the form of baby bunnies, turtles, frogs, slow moving snakes, and the occasional preying mantis egg mass. But flying objects were the most interesting and butterflies and birds were always of high interest.
