Date: 12/9/25 4:41 pm From: San Mateo County Bird Alliance via groups.io <office...> Subject: [SFBirds] Thurs. Dec. 11 Monthly Meeting
*Thursday, De* *cember 11 at 7:00 pm on Zoom*
Cello Caruso-Turiello, a young birder from Redwood City. He will speak about how the San Mateo County Bird Alliance has furthered his love of nature more than he could have imagined. His childhood love of snorkeling led to a love of diving, which led to a love of underwater photography, and then to a love of wildlife photography; though, it wasn’t until receiving a scholarship to the ABA’s Camp Colorado from SMCBA that Cello considered himself a true birder—a title he’s since carried with him around the globe. Cello’s first outing with SMCBA was just over two years ago, and you’ll be astonished to learn about his sightings and see some of his fantastic photos. This is an Oilbird, photographed 2/19/25 at el Cañon del Río Claro in Colombia by Cello. Please invite or share this presentation with any young budding birders you know.
