Blessed with an incredible diversity of birds, environments, and cultures, India offers an intense spectrum of avian riches. With more than 1,300 species recorded in India and representing 12,5 percent of the world's birds, 42 are endemic. While outdoors, a serious birder will not have a moment to relax, and the variety can be spoiling. From the Himalayan region, to desert, to marshes, to swamps, riverine, and woodlands birds, the list is endless. The Bhutan extension features a country covering an area roughly the size of Switzerland, offering opportunities for peace and solitude in a striking mountain setting. Lying in the eastern Himalayas, Bhutan is almost completely mountainous, with altitudes varying from 492 feet to 24,600 feet within a distance of less than 62 miles. Its northern border lies in the main Himalayan chain on the southern edge of the Tibetan plateau. Leader: Rob Taylor

11 Million! That is the number of specimens and objects in the collections at the Yale Peabody Museum in New Haven, including items in anthropology, zoology, paleontology, entomology, ornithology, botany, and historical scientific instruments. It takes 21 curators to oversee this exceptional collection, which offers crucial keys to the history of Earth and in some cases the only surviving traces of animals, plants, and cultures that have become extinct. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the ornithology collection with an up-close look at bird skins and mounts.

From the Himalayan region, to desert, to marshes, to swamps, riverine, and woodlands birds, the list is endless. The Bhutan extension features a country covering an area roughly the size of Switzerland, offering opportunities for peace and solitude in a striking mountain setting. Lying in the eastern Himalayas, Bhutan is almost completely mountainous, with altitudes varying from 492 feet to 24,600 feet within a distance of less than 62 miles.

Join conservation biologist Jim Arrigoni and Stefan Martin, local expert birder on a short nocturnal foray to the edge of the expansive forest at Deer Pond Farm, where we will broadcast the calls of a few of our native owl species to see if we can elicit a response. We’ll also discuss the characteristics and ecology of different owl species, and the ethics of birdwatching in the era of birding apps and Bluetooth speakers. Be sure to dress warmly, and bring a flashlight or headlamp. Sighting or hearing an owl cannot be guaranteed.
Allow for an average of two hours and 1.5 -2 miles. Dress for the weather. Think head, hands and feet! Wool hats, gloves and socks are really good choices. Bring water bottle, walking stick, binoculars, camera and a sense of adventure. Inclement weather cancels.
