Frank Windfelder
Trans-Pecos Birding

In the spring of 2008, some members of the Delaware Valley Ornithological Club (DVOC) traveled to Southern Texas, where they birded their way from East to West, visiting Three Rivers, the Edwards Plateau, Big Bend and the Davis Mountains. Tonight, relive the adventure with Frank Windfelder.

Jim McVoy
Fifty birds in fifty states

In 1997, Jim and Sue McVoy embarked on a quest to find a least fifty species of birds in each of the fifty US states. Some states gave up their birds in a matter of hours; others were stingier. One state had to be visited three times; Hawaii, twice (it was a dirty job, but. . .). Rock pigeons appear on forty-nine of their state lists. Where did they miss them? Jim and Sue saved Alaska for their fiftieth state, visiting it in 2009, the year of Alaska's fiftieth anniversary of statehood. Which unsuspecting bird was the fiftieth bird in the fiftieth state? In his presentation, Jim shares travel stories and favorite birding spots around the country and tells all.

December 8

Win Shafer
Birding the Appalachian Trail

Win Shafer and his son Blake (AKA Birdman and Li'l Wayne) spent 4 1/2 months in 2009 hiking the entire 2175 miles of the Appalachian Trail from Springer Mountain, Georgia to Mt. Katahdin, Maine. Being in the mountains and woods in many different life zones during spring migration afforded incomparable opportunities for bird observation. Win's program is a travelogue of his unique adventure and birding experience.
