[CT Birds] New Haven Bird Club - December events

[jtriana1 at sbcglobal.net]

Thursday, December 13, 2007 - Monthly Indoor Meeting
Guatemala: More Than the Next Costa Rica - Frank Gallo An expert birder and
experienced tour guide, Frank will lead us on a trip to Guatemala, his new
favorite birding location and a country still relatively unknown to birders.
The perfect antidote for a dreary December and a stimulus for birding
adventures of your own, Frank's lively description of his trips to Guatemala
will provide an entertaining and highly informative evening. An accomplished
photographer, Frank will illustrate his talk with superb photos of many of
the colorful birds found in this increasingly popular Central American
birding destination. A past president of NHBC, Frank now is Director of
Coastal Education for the CT Audubon Society. He is the author of two
children's books, Bird Calls and Night Sounds, and currently is working on a
bird-finding guide for CT and RI.
All indoor programs begin at 7:00 PM; the program at 7:30 PM.  All meetings
will be held in the Jones Auditorium, CT Agricultural Experiment Station,
Huntington St., New Haven. The facility is wheelchair accessible with a ramp
and elevator.
