Chapel Hill Bird Club meeting and field trips



Howdy!

Since I'm getting ready for a three week birding trip to New England, I
needed to get this announcement out before I left. I'll also try to
remind you of the program when the date is closer, but mark it on your
calendars now! Simon will be one of our speakers at the CBC meeting in
Hickory three nights earlier, also!

The Chapel Hill Bird Club is also starting their weekly Saturday field
trips August 30. For more information contact Doug Shadwick at
dougshadwick@aol.com or

Happy birding!

September 22, Simon Thompson "Birding and Traveling the World"

Welcome to our first program of the season. We have a great line-up of
speakers this year, starting with Simon Thompson. Simon owns and
operates his own bird watching and natural history tour company,
Ventures, Inc., based in Asheville, NC. He leads many small groups to
destinations throughout the world. Simon is also the ornithologist at
Chimney Rock Park, and leads many tours to western NC sites.

Simon was born in Malta and received his degree in commercial
horticulture in 1984 at Writtle Agricultural College in Chelmsford,
England. His interest in birds began when he lived in Ghana, Kenya, and
Lebanon. Simon also lived in China and was a member of the British
"China Crane Watch" expedition. Join us for an entertaining program!

Refreshments begin at 7:15 pm; the meeting starts at 7:30 pm at Binkley
Baptist Church on Willow Drive (1712 Willow Drive) at 15/501 in Chapel
Hill, near University Mall.
