October 16 meeting highlights

If you ever think you might want to go birding in Costa Rica, talk to Gary Van Velsir of the Anne Arundel Bird Club. He will definitely talk you into going and give you great tips on where to go and how to get the best birding tour guides.

Gary presented an electronic slide show of incredibly beautiful landscapes, birds and other wildlife of several areas of Costa Rica he and his wife visited in 2006.

I think all who attended the meeting would agree the BEST bird of Gary's trip was the stunningly beautiful Resplendent Quetzal as seen just above.
