The next meeting of the Prince George's Audubon Society and the Patuxent Bird Club will be held tomorrow, May 10, at 7:30 pm at the College Park Airport Annex.  The program is, as always, free and open to the public.  Light refreshments will be served.

Birding South Kenya --- presented by Peter Osenton


During his 2007 trip to Kenya with BirdTrek Tours, Peter took hundreds of slides. These he has arranged in an integrated view of the flora, fauna, and landscape of that country, with an emphasis on its bird life. East Africa is home to many families of birds wholly unfamiliar to Americans, such as the bizarre monotypic Crab Plover, alone in its own Family, the Secretarybird, and the iridescent, somewhat hummingbird-like, but unrelated to them, Sunbirds. Kenya is also rich in big mammals. 

Peter has been a wildlife biologist at Patuxent research center for over 20 years, working on a variety of field projects such as the capture and radio-tracking of sea-ducks in the Arctic and the study of their diets.
