Colombia, South America has the highest avian diversity of any country in
the world and is fast becoming one of the most sought after places for
birders to visit. With almost 2,000 bird species (over half of all the bird
species found in South America) and 314 different ecosystems, Colombia
contains close to 10% of the planet’s biodiversity. Join Blue Ridge Audubon
for a special talk by Colombia afficionado Clifton Avery as he takes us on
a trip around the country. Clifton will highlight what makes Colombia so
special for bird watching and natural history.
Clifton is a biological field technician in the Wildlife Diversity agency
of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and a guide for
Ventures Birding Tours.
All Blue Ridge Audubon Chapter programs are free and open to the public.
Please note that by attending a program at the UNCA Reuter Center, you
attest to being fully vaccinated and are required to wear a mask or face
covering. The Reuter Center room is very large with lots of room to spread
out.
