*Birding Guatemala* *Presented by Larry Sirvio* Thursday March 24, 2016 @ 7:30 pm
Guatemala is an attractive birding destination with more than 720 bird species and a high diversity of ecosystems. Guided by Guatemalan resident Knut Eisermann, we spent several days in the highlands followed by 3 days in the tropical lowlands of Tikal, perhaps the best spot I’ve ever seen for birding. The last few days were spent in southern coastal wetlands which featured good rum drinks as well as some interesting shorebirds and a resident pygmy-owl. . *When: * Please join us from 7:00-7:30 pm to socialize over cookies.
