RROS Monthly Meeting - Birding Cuba

Presenter: Gene and Nancy Hunn

Cuba is a short hop south from the Florida Keys but oceans away due to our pained conflicted history. We joined a WFO sponsored nine-day tour in January 2023, sanctioned as a humanitarian/scientific exchange. We successfully targeted some two-dozen Cuban endemic bird species. We explored three ecologically diverse regions guided by a leading Cuban herpetologist and a sympathetic and knowledgeable cultural guide. Our accommodations were in comfortable private home B&Bs. More than a bird tour, it was a fascinating cultural exchange.

Where: The Fellowship Room of the First United Methodist Church, 1551 Montgomery, Santa Rosa. The Fellowship Room is located at the west (left when facing the church) end of the church.

Consider meeting-up ahead of time at Mary's Pizza on Summerfield Road at 5:30 pm for a casual, informal get-together before heading over to the 7 pm meeting in the First United Methodist Church.
