QUEENS COUNTY BIRD CLUB MONTHLY MEETINGWEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2025, 7:30 PMSPEAKER:Â MARCO VALTRIANI "BIRDING IN ITALY"
Reminder! Do not miss Marco Valtriani's "Birding in Italy" presentation at tomorrow evening's Queens County Bird Club meeting. The meeting will begin at 7:30 PM and held at the Alley Pond Environmental Center, 229-10 Northern Blvd, Douglaston, NY 11362.
 Marco Valtriani is an Italian biologist and nature guide who has been working in eco-tourism since 1994. A big part of his job has always been related to birds as a researcher, technician, and birding  guide. In addition to privately organized trips for individuals, he has led tours for international birding tour operators such as Wings, VENT, Naturalist Journey, and NatureTrek.
This diversity is the result of unique geological and climatic conditions, but also of centuries of human presence that have shaped the land in harmony with nature. Nowhere else in Europe does cultural and natural heritage blend so seamlessly: historic cities like Rome, Venice, and Florence are set within spectacular landscapes – from the cypress-covered hills of Tuscany to the dramatic Alps and Dolomites, the crystalline northern lakes, and the rugged Mediterranean coastline dotted with ancient villages. These environments, home to some of Europe’s rarest bird species, provide a lifetime’s worth of birding opportunities and an unforgettable experience for any nature traveler. The aim of the trip in your country would also be to do lectures (on-line too) about the landscapes and birds of Italy's many wild habitats.
