January 11, 2019Friday, January 11
3 p.m.Even in the dead of winter, many bird species are surprisingly active, and they can be easier to see without leaves on the trees! Join conservation biologist Jim Arrigoni on a gentle walk, looking for the hardy species that remain throughout the New England winter. We will also discuss the topic of feeding birds, which not only helps our feathered friends get through scarce times, it also is a great way to observe and learn more about certain species.
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.

East of the Andes: Ecuador's AmazonEast of the Andes: Ecuador's Amazon
Jan 16th - 27th
January 16, 2019 – January 27, 2019With its equatorial latitude and several distinct climates, Ecuador offers an amazing variety of birdlife: over 1,600 species, about 20 percent of the world's numbers - more diversity in less space than any other country in the world. The Ecuadorian Amazon is mainly tropical rainforest elevated 1,300 feet above sea level. White its borders contrain a mere slice of the Amazon, its rainforest is diverse, with quiet blackwater lagoons, raging chocolately rivers, dense tree canopies, and flooded forests. As a general rule, the farther you travel from civilization and roads, the more wildlife you'll see. The tour starts in Quito, crosses the Andes, and reaches remote areas of pristine Amazon habitats. Leader: TBD Optional post-trip extensions!

January 16, 2019 – January 27, 2019With its equatorial latitude and several distinct climates, Ecuador offers an amazing variety of birdlife: over 1,600 species, about 20 percent of the world's numbers - more diversity in less space than any other country in the world. The Ecuadorian Amazon is mainly tropical rainforest elevated 1,300 feet above sea level. White its borders contrain a mere slice of the Amazon, its rainforest is diverse, with quiet blackwater lagoons, raging chocolately rivers, dense tree canopies, and flooded forests.
