Sept 22 Chapel Hill Bird Club



Howdy!

I sent this announcement out before we left for our New England trip three
weeks ago, but remembered to remind you again. Joe and I are stuck in MA
because of car transmission problems and the storm, so we'll miss the fun
and birding in Hickory this weekend. DARN!!! We're leaving tomorrow and will
be back on Sunday, in time for Simon's program in Chapel Hill on Monday.

Sorry I'll miss seeing many of you, but I'll be thinking of you in Hickory.
Happy birding!!

Generally Raleigh, but Shelburne Falls, MA this week!

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.
