This Wednesday,  September 14  7:30 p.m.

"A Year on the Road with North American Birds.  "During a Lower 48 "Big Year" in
2005, Ron Gutberlet visited all 48 of those states, drove about 70,000 miles, hiked
over 100 miles, took six trips by plane (three specifically for birding), and spent
nine days at sea. He met boat captains, truck drivers, a midwife, backpackers,
sheriff's deputies (uh oh!), state troopers (UH OH!), border patrol agents (no
problemo), car mechanics, vacationing families, park rangers, mountain bike chicks,
whale watchers, a naturalist surfer girl, hobos, and the poet laureate of Boise
City, Oklahoma. And of course, he met birders. It was quite a year, and Ron looks
forward to sharing a bit of it.

Meetings are held at the Potomac Presbyterian Church, 10301 River Road, Potomac, MD.
Doors open at 7:00, refreshments at 7:30 and the meeting starts at 8:00.

All are welcome!
