BELIZE – A BIRDING GEM

BBC member and past president Carol Besse visited Belize in December 2017 on a tour led by “the Warbler guys” —  authors of the aptly named book The Warbler Guide and the accompanying phone app. Please join us on Tuesday, July 10 at 7 p.m. at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 2822 Frankfort Ave, 38.254256, -85.689458  to hear about this birding gem and enjoy photos of tropical species as well as familiar North American species wintering there.

The Bird Derby!

FIELD TRIPS
There are no field trips in July. A schedule for August and September field trips will be in the August newsletter.
