["Wallace Coffey" <jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The Bristol Bird Club established a standing committee Wednesday to research 
and plan annual birding tours to areas of Central America, South America and 
the West Indies. 

The group will be known as the BBC Rainforest Adventures Committee.  The 
committee was established as a result of the club's semi-annual planning 
meeting held at Shoney's in Bristol and a highly successful recent trip to 
Trinidad and Tobago.

BBC President Bill Grigsby appointed Dr. John Moyle as chairman.  Committee 
members include Dave Worley, Jacki Hinshaw, Mary Jane Erwin, Larry McDaniel and 
Janice Martin.  All members have birded various locales throughout the 
Caribbean island countries, dependencies and territories as well as Central and 
South America.

The July trip to the northern area of Central America produced 178 species with 
birders each easily getting 70+ life birds.

Other results from the planning meeting will appear in a later post.
