Thursday, February 11, 2010, Birding in New Zealand,
by Tom and Geraldine Feild.
Tom and Geraldine's presentation will cover the country's unique
land birds, pelagic birding, the southern hemisphere arctic
migrants as well as some of New Zealand's conservation issues. In
2003 when club member Tom Field left on his "Big Trip" to the
southern hemisphere, he found that a Kiwi meant more than just an
endemic bird to New Zealand. After five years of "migrations",
one particular "Kiwi" became his wife. Geraldine moved to Howard
County in April 2009.
