Dear Birders,
The next meeting of the Delaware Valley Ornithological Club (DVOC) is this Thursday, April 18th, at 7:30 PM at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, PA. Details at www.dvoc.org .
Everyone is invited to attend. Visitors are always welcome.
Featured speaker: Steve Kacir
During October of 2010, Steve Kacir joined friends Nikolas Haass and Raja Stephenson on an exploration of the Australian countryside. About a week�s worth of time was spent in the state of New South Wales, seemingly a land rich with dichotomies. Some of Australia�s best-known cities and landmarks sit on the coast, but new species are discovered every year in the region, sometimes not a day�s drive away from the urban centers. New South Wales is one of those places where you can see penguins and parrots on the same day. Albatrosses, skua and giant-petrels feed while your boat is still in sight of land. Dragons fight falcons in the bush while Wombats graze and Euros leap across the hillsides. Like any landmass once part of Gondwanaland, New South Wales has its enigmas: nocturnal parrots and warblers that aren�t warblers (or wood warblers even) and trees out of the Jurassic. Join Steve to learn more about birding in the Sydney area, Manly Island, Wollongong, the Blue Mountains, the Capertee Valley and more.
In addition: Ornithological Moment - Mew Gull Identification - Chris Walters
Please join us for these exciting presentations.
Regards,
Phil Witmer
