Neil Solomon – “Birds Of Colombia”
April 25 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Please join us for our interesting monthly program and refreshments. There is a social period beginning at 6:30 pm with the meeting and program getting under way promptly at 7:00 pm.
Colombia is home to almost 20% of the world’s bird species. That’s about 1960 species. Eighty species are endemic. 50% of the Hummingbird species found in the Americas can be found in Colombia. With habitats ranging from the amazonian lowlands, to national parks with elevations of 13,000+ ft., the Colombian birds are literally everywhere. My trip took me to only the eastern, central, and western ranges of the Andes, so I offer only a glimpse of what can be seen. Still, I think you will be amazed by the diversity of this small small sample.
This is Neil’s 15th PAS Presentation. Neil has been photographing birds for 20+ years. His travels in search of birds to photograph, have taken him from Patagonia and the Falklands in the South, to Alaska and Arctic Norway in the North, and many locations between. His favorite shooting locations are probably the far North and Central/South America. The last few years he has been concentrating on photographing birds in flight. You can see his images on his website www.nsolomonphoto.com
Mark your calendars. Don’t miss this interesting presentation!
