MEETINGS:
December 6, General Meeting (Zoom registration required)
Monday, 7:00 p.m.
Program: A Namibia Birding Safari
A birding safari — through Namibia in southern Africa, across its Namib Desert and the Etosha Pan; into Botswana with its Okavango Delta.Angela Dimmitt presents her photos from this trip taken a few years ago. "We were a small group, staying in elegant lodges, driving vast distances, finding wildlife along the way; and at night, watching the water holes as the animals came down to drink. Birds, birds, birds — brilliantly colored or subdued like the desert, they dazzled us — and our equally brilliant guides knew them all! And, of course, the animals — the big ones, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, lions, and all the ungulates, antelopes, deer, you could wish for! Observing it all from the safety of a van: being surrounded by elephants, seeing lions resting by the road, watching huge flocks of impalas, zebras, wildebeest, and also lucky finds like rare cheetahs. Come relive this unique experience!"
