WCBC: Meeting – Birding Argentina/Patagonia
Thursday, April 16 – Monthly Meeting – Birding Argentina/Patagonia – a new talk
by Dave Tripp, birder and photographer par excellence
Southbury Public Library, 100 Poverty Road (off Main Street South, on the corner of Old Field Road).
6:45 refreshments, 7:00 meeting, ending about 8:30.
WCBC Member Dave Tripp has been birding since the spring of sixth grade, age of 12 when he went on a Litchfield Hills Audubon Society Sunday bird walk with his sixth grade teacher at White Memorial in Litchfield. He has been hooked ever since. He currently serves as the Vice President and Treasurer of LHAS, compiles two Christmas Bird Counts and a Summer count, is a Board member of the COA, 20+ years on the ARCC, and founder of the Connecticut Big Day team; the Raven Lunatics where they hold the state record of 192 species in a 24-hour period. He has traveled worldwide and specializes in leading trips to Central and South America, especially Brazil as a hobby.
The program will be on his trips to Argentina in 2022 and 2025, specifically the Patagonia region. His Argentina list is over 300 species, of which 235 species have been photographed and in eBird. We are sure Dave will be entertaining, with stories and adventures as well as his spectacular photos of the Patagonia avifauna.
