Wintu Audubon Presents Birding Colombia
Colombia is a country of over 49 million people, most of whom live at very high elevations. Over 2,000 species of birds have been recorded there, 87 of which are endemic to that country. Harvey and Jeannette Carroll traveled to Colombia in January 2017 and enjoyed seeing over 500 species of birds. Twenty-seven of them were endemics. The geography, people and flora and fauna of Colombia are fascinating. The Carrolls will present a cross-section of the beautiful birds they encountered plus a discussion of the country itself.
