Date: 3/31/25 8:17 pm From: <marciaaabrahams...> <marciaaabrahams...> Subject: [nysbirds-l] The next Queens County Bird Club meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at 7:30 PM and feature Ashley Pichon "The Birds of Trinidad and Panama"
Do not miss Ashley Pichon's "The Birds of Trinidad and Panama" presentation at the next Queens County Bird Club meeting on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at 7:30 PM.
It will be held at the Alley Pond Environmental Center, 229-10 Northern Blvd, Douglaston, NY 11362.
Ashley Pichon officially started birding in March of 2022, with the North Shore Audubon Society. She bought her camera around the same time and began learning bird photography alongside traditional birding. Both quickly became an obsession. Ashley spent her first year in the field being mentored by members of the NSAS, without whom she says she’d know “nothing.” The following year, she met several people who specifically traveled to bird. One day, after someone else dropped out of a trip, they invited Ashley to Trinidad. Without considering any of the details, she booked her flight that day and downloaded a new bird pack into Merlin. Two months later, she joined a group of birders and bird photographers on what was a seminal trip through the various bird habitats on the island. When she returned, she was fully hooked and soon ventured to Anton Valley, Panama. This presentation will feature many of the birds and habitats Ashley encountered while traveling through both countries.
Please be prompt and ring the doorbell to be let in, since no one will be at the front desk.
