SUMMARY:Fall Meeting and Webinar with Amar Ayyash Author of The Gull Guide
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 7 for our hybrid in-person/webinar fall meeting with speaker Amar Ayyash\, author of The Gull Guide. There will be a social hour starting at 6:30 and the meeting itself will start at 7:00PM. Free parking at Harvard’s 52 Oxford Street Garage starting at 5:30PM.  The garage is entered across from the intersection of Oxford and Everett Streets. \nRegister for the Zoom webinar broadcast of the meeting. \nAmong the world’s “seabirds\,” gulls are the most accessible to humans\, invading our most immediate surroundings. Gulls are sometimes perceived as second class avian creatures. This\, along with the identification challenges they present and their readiness to hybridize\, creates a love-hate relationship for many birders. Yet some gull species are among the most coveted birds on any birder’s list (think Ross’s Gull and Ivory Gull). This makes for an interesting juxtaposition. Do we like some gulls and look past others? \nAmar Ayyash is both an expert on the gulls of North America and an evangelist for “gull recreation.” He coordinates the IOS Annual Gull Frolic on Lake Michigan\, hosts the popular website anythinglarus.com\, and he speaks at birding events throughout the continent. Much of his free time is dedicated to traveling the world to photograph and study gulls. Amar is the author of the authoritative guide to North American Gulls\, The Gull Guide. \nCopies of The Gull Guide will be for sale by the author. \nFollowing up on the evening’s presentation\, the BBC will offer two field trips focused on gull identification: \n\n11/15 at Revere Beach\, 10AM\n12/6 at Winthrop Beach\, 7:30AM\n\n  \n
