Geological Lecture Hall, 26 Oxford St., Cambridge.

Our Guest Speaker, Noah Strycker, will be talking to the club about:

BIRDING WITHOUT BORDERS: AN EPIC WORLD BIG YEAR

In 2015, Noah became the first human to see more than half of the planet’s bird species in a single year. Anything could have happened, and a lot did. He was scourged by blood-sucking leeches, suffered fevers and “Delhi Belly,” skirted war zones, and had the time of his life. Birding on seven continents and carrying only a small backpack, Noah enlisted the enthusiastic support of local birders to tick more than 6,000 species, including Chinstrap Penguins in Antarctica, a Harpy Eagle in Brazil, and a long-lost owl in New Guinea. Rather than listing every last sighting, this entertaining presentation covers the funniest, weirdest, and most inspiring stories, as much about people as birds.

Members and guests are invited. Admission is free, as is parking at the 52 Oxford St., Cambridge, Parking Garage.
