Eugene Birder's Night, Monday, Sept 17 with Birding China's Sichaun
Province
The next Eugene Birders Night (SWOC) meeting will be held Monday, Sept
17, 2018 at 7 pm at the McNail-Riley house, 601 W 13th Ave, Eugene. The
McNail-Riley House is the restored historic house at the NW corner of W.
13th Ave. and Jefferson St. The parking area, located immediately west
of the McNail-Riley House, can be accessed from 13th St, by turning left
(north) shortly before Jefferson St. It may also be accessed by
Jefferson St. via the driveway located immediately north of the M-R
House. We are allowed to park only in the 5 spaces closest to the M-R
house. If these spaces are full, you can take the west exit from the M-R
parking lot on to 13 Ave, then go directly across 13th to enter and park
in the Fairgrounds parking lot.
After initial introductions, we’ll share recent sightings and discuss
birding connected topics. Then Sarah Smith de Vasconcellos will present
her birding trip to Sichuan province in Southwest China. She did enjoy
sights of Giant Pandas and spectacular mountain scenery but the major
target of her attention was a host of endemic and specialty birds.
Highlights included special pheasants such as Golden and Lady Amherst's
that are common in aviaries but much more exciting in the wild! Within
Sichuan she also visited the Tibetan Plateau, where Black-necked Cranes
were surprisingly common.
No entrance fees! All are welcome!
