The Cape Cod Bird Club invites you to attend its monthly meeting on Monday,
March 14, 2016 at 7 PM.  Meetings are free and open to all.  This month's
speaker is
*Peter Bono who will speak on Birding in Northwest Ecuador and Machu
Picchu, Peru*

Ecuador is about the size of the State of Colorado, yet more than 1600
species birds have been seen within its boundaries.  This is because of its
incredibly diverse habitats: high Andean paramo and puna, wet mid-elevation
rain forest, and Amazonian lowlands to name just a few.  Peru is a much
larger country; almost twice the size of Texas and almost as big as
Alaska.  More than 1800 species of birds are on the Peru list–third most
species in the world, after Colombia and Brazil.

 A computer scientist and software developer, Peter Bono started his
worldwide birding travel in the 70s on various business and pleasure trips.
After birding in 80+ countries, his world life list is over 6,200 species.
Besides enjoying travel and experiencing different cultures, he collects
birds on stamps. His bird stamp collection includes examples of
approximately 2,000 species (of the 3,900 species currently illustrated on
stamps).

The Cape Cod Bird Club invites you to participate in their free guided
walks. Please call or email the leader to let them know you would like to
join in.   Here are the walks scheduled for March:
