The Cape Cod Bird Club resumes in September with wonderful meetings,
fascinating speakers, and marvelous free walks.  The club meets on the
second Monday of each month at 7:00 PM at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural
History, Route 6 A in Brewster.  All meetings are free and open to all.  As
always, go to www.capecodbirdclub.org for more information.

The September 14th meeting will feature *John Kricher  Why Did I Go to
Borneo?*Borneo is the world’s third largest island which historically has
contained some of the planet’s richest biodiversity.  While increasingly
under threat from extensive logging and palm oil production, some
significantly large tracts of rain forest remain and are protected,
including in Sabah, in northern Borneo.  John Kricher will share some
observations from his recent trip to Sabah and provide an overview of
Bornean biodiversity in a talk richly illustrated with images of everything
from broadbills and babblers to orangutans and proboscis monkeys.
John Kricher is a Professor of Biology at Wheaton College, Norton,
Massachusetts  His books include Tropical Ecology, (Princeton University
Press 2011, The Balance of Nature: Ecology’s Enduring Myth (Princeton
University Press 2009), and A Neotropical Companion, which has been
translated into Spanish through the Birders’ Exchange Program of the
American Birding Association.  John is a Fellow in the American
Ornithologists Union and has served as president of the Association of
Field Ornithologists, president of the Wilson Ornithological Society.
