Additional Birding Presentations-May 28th

Post by Pam Grassmick »

Sunday, May 28th at the Community Center, please join us:

At 1 p.m.-Penguins and Prions: Birds and Wildlife of the Seventh Continent. The continent of Antarctica is a fascinating, uninhabited land of ice and snow. Not a single land mammal lives here, although it boasts a rich collection of both bird and marine mammal life. Join Dr. Cathy Theisen on the trip of a lifetime to the bottom of the globe, and learn about the fascinating animals and the adaptations that allow them to live here. Examine some of the effects of human disruption, and some of the greatest restoration successes of this fragile wilderness.

At 4:30 p.m.-Birding Peru; Penguins to Piping Guans with Brian Allen. In the Spring of 2010, Brian was invited to Peru on a trip sponsored by Kolibri Expeditions to explore the feasibility of doing ecotourism in the Satipo Valley in the east central region of the Andes Mountains. Brian says that this program will show some of the stunning scenery and some of the scariest roads for birding he has ever experienced! He will take us to some of the last retreats of the Black-spectacled Brush Finch, the endemic Pardusco, and the gorgeous Golden-backed and Yellow-scarfed Tanagers.

All birding presentations are free, no registration required, and appropriate for all age groups.
