A group of local birders who also have an interest in global birding have been gathering monthly for the past year to talk about trips they've taken and about the planning and practicalities of birding in other countries. The July 23rd gathering will feature a presentation by Gerald Hoekstra on birding in South Africa. (Gerald is the editor of the MOU newsletter.) His team of Minnesota birders visited sites from the northeast of the country, including Kruger National Park, to the southwestern tip around Cape Town, recording almost 500 species, more than 450 of which were lifers for most of them.
Date: Monday July 23, 6:00 - 8:00 PM Location: Walker Library community room, 2880 Hennepin Ave. S (at Lagoon), Minneapolis Anyone interested is welcome.
