PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Join the Yolo Bird Alliance at its September program meeting featuring John Sterling of SterlingBirds, who will enlighten as well as entertain us on birding in Indonesia.
John will take us on a virtual adventure visiting many islands from Flores to Waigeo in eastern Indonesia and will end the tour in mainland West Papua with its abundance of New Guinea endemics. Over 130 species are endemic to a single or small cluster of islands, so be prepared to see photos of birds seen by few birders.
SPEAKER BIO
John has been a birder since he saw a Pileated Woodpecker in his native Napa County during a 5th grade environmental education camp. He studied wildlife science at Humboldt State University and embarked in an ornithological career in 1981. He has since traveled to over 50 countries in search of birds, with many trips as a researcher or tour leader. John birds the heck out of all 58 California counties and is increasingly interested in iNaturalist and documenting as many life forms as possible. His website is www.sterlingbirds.com.
