Date: 10/9/25 2:35 pm From: Colleen Richards <clr82...> Subject: [cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club October meeting
It's time for the Cayuga Bird Club's October meeting on Monday, October 13 at 7:30 at the Lab of Ornithology. "The Birds and People of Cuba – a land so near and yet so far" Our October speakers will be Cayuga Bird Club members Stephanie Herrick, Kevin McGowan, and Jody Enck. They will share their photos, impressions, and stories from the Club trip to the island nation in April 2025, when we encountered more than 20 of the 25 or 26 species of endemic birds found only on the island of Cuba. Although only about 90 miles south of Florida, visiting this island nation is challenging because of international relations, an over-stressed electric grid, and limited ecotourism infrastructure. Still, the Cuban people are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and above all else, they are resilient and resourceful. Come hear our story as we relive our experiences with the culture, people, and birds of this island nation. We will be joined during Q & A by a few of the other travelers. And if you're interested in dinner with the speakers at the Sumo restaurant prior to the meeting at 5:30 pm, please RSVP to Colleen Richards at <clr82...> by noon Monday so reservations can be made. Cayuga Bird Club meetings are held on the second Monday of each month, September through June, and are free and open to the public. In-person meetings are held September through May at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, 159 Sapsucker Woods Road. Doors open at 6:45pm for social time, at 7:20 is the reading of the basin bird list, club business starts at 7:30pm, followed by the speaker's presentation starting around 8:00pm and ending by 9:00pm. We will attempt to make presentations available virtually as a recording posted a few days later, on our YouTube channel @cayugabirdclub. Some meetings may shift to Zoom if warranted by circumstances.
