    October Meeting: Alvaro Jaramillo – “Birding Fast and Slow”

    Virtual Venue NY

    Alvaro Jaramillo takes a slightly different approach than many others to birding and the birding tours he leads. While he wants his clients to see the important birds of the area, he does not want to just tick them off a list, he also wants people to learn something about the birds they see, to take the time to appreciate them, and the area in which they are found.
