October Monthly Meeting: International Travel Update, with Adam Betuel and Melanie Furr
Sunday, October 23, at 3:30 PM
In-person at Manuel’s Tavern
Free but registration requested
In the past few years, Georgia Audubon has greatly expanded its travel program. From the Georgia Coast to North Dakota all the way down to Paraguay and Argentina and across the Atlantic to Spain, Georgia Audubon travelers have joined us for some unforgettable adventures. These trips not only provide amazing opportunities to see new birds and new places, but they also illustrate the ways bird connect our world.
Join us for a presentation from Melanie Furr, director of education, and Adam Betuel, director of conservation, as they recaps three of Georgia Audubon's recent international trips, Spain, Argentina, and Costa Rica. Melanie will share slides and stories from the recent trip to Southwestern Spain where the group saw soaring Griffon Vultures and Spanish Imperial Eagles, White Storks nesting on medieval rooftops, the announcement of spring by the arrival of bee-eaters and rollers, and thousands of migratory birds making incredible flights across the Strait of Gibraltar. The group tallied 190 species during this 10-day tour of the region's best birding sanctuaries, enjoying Spanish food and culture in spectacular landscapes along the way.
Then, Adam Betuel, Director of Conservation, will recap a pair of Georgia Audubon's recent international trips to Costa Rica and Argentina. In Costa Rica, the group soaked up Resplendent Quetzals, tracked down the very localized Volcano Junco, and tallied over 80 species on a single afternoon boat trip. Additionally, Adam will highlight a recent journey to Argentina. While Argentina and the Southern Cone are always worth a visit, this trip was specially timed so that the group could look for long-distance migratory shorebirds, many of which stopover in Georgia, on their wintering grounds. Additionally, the group visited the largest penguin colony in South America, searched for the critically endangered Yellow Cardinal, and kept their eyes peeled for amazing mammal life, ranging from Guanaco to Elephant Seals to Southern Right Whales. Adam will share exciting photos and stories from these trips and also tease upcoming domestic and international trips that you may be interested in joining.
