Programs are varied and include lectures, discussions, panels, slides, movies and the many phases of ornithological study.
Birding in Not-Nigeria
What do you do when a business trip leaves you with a free day in an exotic location? You find and hire a guide and go birding, of course! BBC member Andrew Melnykovych found himself in that situation twice in 2015 - first in Dubai and later in Ghana. (He was supposed to have been in Nigeria both times, but that's part of the story.)Andrew will talk about how to find a guide and describe his one-day birding blitzes in two vastly different places.
Our meeting will be on Tuesday, October 10 at 7:00 p.m. at the Clifton Center on Payne Street.
