Hi all!

The Prince George's Audubon Society and the Patuxent Bird Club would like to invite you to our monthly meeting, tomorrow, Tuesday 5/13 at 7:30 for a talk by Bob Mumford.  He's drawn good crowds in the past couple years and this year's talk promises to be every bit as exciting.  The meeting is at the College Park Airport Annex and is, as always, free and open to the public.  Light refreshments will be served.  For more information, please read the following or see our website: http://www.pgaudubon.org .

Hope to see you there!

"Exquisite Ecuador: A Taste of the Andes"

Maryland photographer Bob Mumford will present images from three recent visits to this South American birder's hotspot. These trips included time in the wet season and the dry season, although in the mountains, it can rain any day of the year and often does! 

With over 1,600 species of birds spotted there, Ecuador has become one of the most coveted travel locations in the world for naturalists. We will see images of more than 20 of Ecuador's 125 glittering hummingbird species, many glorious tanagers, big-billed toucans and toucanets, colorful trogons, the elusive giant antpitta and the amazing torrent duck. Birds in Ecuador, as elsewhere, are often separated by elevation, with sometimes just 1000 feet determining which species can be seen. Elevations covered in the ten major locations of this show range from 4000 humid rainforest to the windswept and very chilly slopes of Volcan Antisana at over 14,000 feet.

Mr. Mumford will be bringing copies of his book, "Spring Comes to Washington," for sale.
