The April meeting of the informal "Minnesota Global Birders" group will feature a presentation on birding New Zealand by Michael Hurben and Claire Strohmeyer, part of their global Big Year... all while they were working! (while based in Thailand...)
Like all islands, New Zealand has relatively few species compared to equivalent continental areas, but 1/3 of the species are endemic to the country, and there are three endemic Families. Unlike many countries, it is feasible - and maybe even best - to explore and bird it on one's own, so - along with photos of the land and birds - their presentation will include a wide range of relevant practical information. Monday, April 22, 6:00-8:00 Walker Library, 2880 Hennepin Ave S, Minneapolis So we can monitor the number of attendees, please register online with Eventbrite at the link below, where more information is available.
