[SEMCO] Cape Cod Bird Club - September Meeting

[Diane Silverstein]

Cape Cod Bird Club Meeting:
September 10, 2012

David Clapp  -  "Australia The Birds Down Under"
Australia is full of great barren expanses, fun-loving people, a very long mountain range, a residential coast, and about 60 families of birds not found in the United States.
Of the approximately 850 species of birds listed for Australia, about 650 are regular. Many, perhaps most, of these birds are present in large numbers in the right habitats.
Join David Clapp as he takes us from Tasmania, to the Great Barrier Reef, and into the Great Red Center (Alice Springs and Uluru {Ayers Rock}). See the iconic Kookaburra, lots of cockatoos and parrots, and other easy to see birds of this great, sparse, island continent. Perhaps and echidna, wombat, or wallaby might pass by.
David Clapp works with Smithsonian Journeys (the Smithsonian Institutes travel program) as a naturalist and lecturer worldwide.  He retired from Mass Audubon in 2005, after a 35-year career with that organization, including as Director of its South Shore Sanctuaries. David also consults on environmental matters, and has a smallish safari company that operates mostly in northern Tanzania. He has been involved in ecotourism for more than 30 years and has led tours throughout the world. David lives on the Cape, where he can be seen leading walks for the Cape Cod Bird Club.
Location: Cape Cod Museum of Natural History, Rt. 6A, Brewster
Time: 7:30am  Date: September 10, 2012
