  • Around the World in 80 Birds

    If you want to see a wide variety of birds, you’ll want to see representative species from different families of birds. That’s been a long-term goal of birder and photographer Bob Lewis who has set a goal of photographing a representative species from every bird family (Birds of the World Online currently recognizes 251 families of birds). Please join this special GGBA Travel Program Speakers Series presentation “Around the World in 80 Birds” in which Bob will describe efforts to photograph birds in all eight of the world’s biogeographical regions. You’ll enjoy his knockout photographs of some amazing birds.

    Drinks and Dessert will be provided!
