SUMMARY:Menunkatuck Audubon: Under South African Skies
DESCRIPTION:The southern tip of Africa is one of the greatest biodiversity hotspots in the world and attracts birders\, botanists and mammal enthusiasts from around the globe. Harboring a multitude of endemic birds\, the classic African mammals\, and a rich and unique botanical heritage\, the multi-ethnic nation of South Africa stands out as a wonderful destination for nature enthusiasts. \nThe Cape Peninsula\, often called the “Jewel of South Africa”\, offers spectacular\, wild\, rugged scenery that is home to penguins\, ostriches\, several types of antelope\, and the unique “fynbos” vegetation. Further into the interior of the country\, the world renowned Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in Africa and is home to lions\, leopards\, elephants\, and giraffes and more than 500 species of birds. \nThis program chronicles a journey from the Cape Peninsula up to Kruger National Park with vivid photos of birds\, animals and stunning landscapes and describes what it is like to travel in this varied and sometimes distinctly un-African country. \nA naturalist and birder for more than thirty years\, Gina Nichol first became fascinated with the natural world in rural upstate New York where she spent most of her childhood out of doors. In 2005\, Gina founded Sunrise Birding\, LLC to offer personalized\, authentic\, affordable private and small group bird watching and wildlife tours around the world. \nRegister to get Zoom link.
