Islands in the Sun: Birding in the Caribbean

SEE EVENT DETAILS
A Golden Gate Audubon trip to Cuba, a side trip to Hispaniola, and an earlier tour to Trinidad and Tobago provide us with an overview of Caribbean avifauna. Several endemic families are found here, and some species are quite endangered. The islands were recently hit by hurricanes Irma and Maria, and there is concern about survival of some species. Birds Caribbean is working to survey bird populations, provide hummingbird feeders and birdseed where the flowering plants and seed crops were destroyed, and help recovery of Important Bird Areas.

Bob Lewis trained as a chemist and worked for Chevron for 33 years. He's taught birding classes in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 25 years, and is the past chair of Golden Gate Audubon's Adult Education Committee. His life bird list is over 4800 species, and he loves to travel. He's an award-winning photographer, focusing on birds, and his next big trip is New Guinea. Bob was honored with American Birding Association's Chandler Robbins Award for Education and Conservation in 2016 and GGAS's Paul Covel Award for Education in 2017.
