Theona Vyvial and Pat
& Ken Phillips
Birding in Ecuador
Theona Vyvial, a birder and
amateur photographer and Pat and
Ken Phillips, not so beginning birders and great photographers, toured Ecuador in July
2006. They will be sharing LOTS of photos and stories from their tours
of
Northwest Ecuador, the Andes and the Napo Wildlife Center
in the Amazon Basin. Some of the photos they will be
sharing include LOTS of hummingbirds (they saw close to 50 species),
numerous
parrots, tanagers, owls, trogons, toucans and woodpeckers. Also seen
and
photographed were several rarely seen antpittas (they went to see the
Antpitta Whisperer!), the Cock of the Rock and the ancient
appearing Hoatzin. Come join us for an
evening on the equator!

George Wall
Birding the Pantanal & Iguacu Falls in Brazil & Argentina
From August 31 to September 12,
2007, a group from our
Sonoran Audubon Society (Anne Durning, Karen La France, Tice Supplee and George
Wall) and four others
from Arizona (Anita MacFarlane, Leroy and Kate Ellison and leader Dr. David
Pearson), went to South
America. Specifically Brazil and Argentina. This was sponsored by Audubon
Arizona and done through
Field Guides. Come
out to this meeting and hear about this trip and the 309 species of birds seen or
heard. There’s lots of photographs
of Rio de Janeiro, Iguazu Falls and the Pantanal presented in a Power
Point program that should
whet your appetite to journey there yourselves.

Barb Winterfield
Birding in Florida
Barb is a Software Engineer and
amateur birder. She became
interested in birds growing up in Kansas. She would spend hours lying outside
watching the huge flocks
of birds migrate overhead in the fall. Her father taught her some of the local
birds, but she didn't study them at that time. It wasn't until
she moved to Arizona and
visited Ramsey Canyon in 1991 that she and her husband became interested in
birding.
They do the majority of their birding in the Phoenix area and their state list is
roughly 390. However, they have birded a fair amount in
California, Kansas, Indiana, Illinois, and Florida. They have
ventured outside the
US but mostly on guided tours: Kenya, Costa Rica, Trinidad and Tobago, and
Mexico. She and
her sister, Daniela, went on a birding trip in Southern Florida in June. The
program that will be presented
will mostly cover this trip.

"Hope Takes Wings" DVD Video
This program is a
56 minute
video that was shown by Audubon Arizona in the theater as a fund
raiser. It's a great movie about the Whooping Crane, an
endangered
species. If you haven't seen this video, you are in for a treat.
