Friends of mine at UT are leading a garden tour to New Zealand that will include some interesting birding, along with visits to the Kiwi House and Native Bird Park. In addition, some of the gardens have their own aviaries. While this is primarily a garden tour, I thought members of the bird chat group might be interested. Dates are Dec. 28 through Jan 10. For more info, you may contact Jason Reeves at 731 425 4765, or at his email, jreeves%@xxxxxxx<mailto:jreeves%25@xxxxxxx>.
