GENERAL MEETINGS SEPTEMBER
Topic: Off the Grid: Birding Guyana
Date: Thursday, September 9, 2010
Presenter: Karen Straus
Refreshments and social 6:30 pm, 7 pm program
Location: Tecolote Nature Center
At 814 species, Guyana might not have the high numbers the other South American destinations can boast, nor is the infrastructure quite as developed, but target birds such as Hoatzin, Harpy Eagle, and Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock are accessible and it is truly an adventure getting to them, considering that Guyana's only major north-south road remains unpaved. In digital stills and HD video, Karen Straus will share the highlights of her 2010 trip to Guyana, including some of the 379 seen and heard species seen by her travel group. Karen is well-known to San Diego birders as the editor of the SDAS newsletter SKETCHES, and for her work with the San Diego Bird Festival. She has been birding and photographing birds for 3 years.
To get to the Tecolote Nature Center, take the Tecolote Road/Sea World Drive exit off I-5 and go east on Tecolote Road. The Nature Center is at the very end of Tecolote Road. WORK PARTIES
