The Cayuga Bird Club will be meeting on Monday, November 10, at 7:30 at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, with cookies and conversation at 7:15. Please join us for the presentation "Birds of the Colombian Rain Forest". Our speaker, Dr. Jorge Orejuela [Conservationist, Dept. of Environmental Sciences/Group in Environmental Studies for Sustainable Development, Autonomous University of the West, Cali, Colombia] has been an educator and conservationist in Colombia for decades and is currently the director of the Cali Botanical Garden as well as professor in the environmental sciences department at the Universidad Autónoma de Occidente. Trained as an ornithologist, his research spans the Neotropics and includes species as varied as orchids, spectacled bears, and bats. Orejuela’s early work led him to the cloud forests between Colombia and Ecuador, home to one of the most important endemic bird areas of northern South America. Recognizing the need for its conservation, he undertook the establishment of the La Planada Nature Reserve, now in its 18th year of operation. Members are invited to dinner with Dr. Orejuela before the meeting at 5:30 at Taste of Thai Express on Rt.13N downtown. Please RSVP by noon Monday to [email protected] so reservations can be made.
Hope to see you Monday! Colleen Richards Correspondence Secretary Cayuga Bird Club ____________________________________________________________ NetZero now offers 4G mobile broadband.
