Please join Aiken Audubon on Wednesday, October 10 (yes - this is one week earlier than normal) for a presentation by former Aiken Audubon president Rise Foster-Bruder on "Birding Southern Africa". Namibia and Botswana are wild and spectacular countries with towering golden sand dunes, deep canyons, old granite mountains and shimmering plains surrounded by rich bush. From the beautiful Namib Desert, the famous Etosha National Park, the Caprivi Strip and the Okavango Delta in Botswana, this program will deliver an African experience with birds and game amidst some of the most dramatic scenery imaginable. Namibia is one of the least densely populated countries in the world. The lack of human intrusion gives visitors a chance to see Africa as it was 50 years ago. Both Namibia and Botswana offer some of the finest game and bird watching opportunities on the continent—without the crowds and traffic endemic to better known destinations like Kenya and South Africa. Come join us for an evening visit to the “Dark Continent.’’ When: Wednesday, October 10 Time: Doors open at 6:30 p.m.; program begins at 7:00 p.m. Where: Colorado Division of Wildlife, 4255 Sinton Road, Colorado Springs We will also have available our 2013 calendar "Birds of Colorado" featuring beautiful photographs of Colorado birds generously donated by two of our board members: Debbie Barnes and Leslie Holzmann. These calendars will be available for a minimum donation of $12 each - cash or checks only. Proceeds benefit our educational programs. We hope to see you on Wednesday! Christine A.
