SB Audubon Monthly Evening Program: Birding Peru with 4 Guides from 4 Continents

January 22, 2020 @ 7:30 am - 9:00 am PST

Ecologist and nature photographer Satie Airame, together with cycad expert and eco-tour guide Jeff Chemnick, birded the Manu Road for the first time in June 1999. Twenty years later, in May 2019, they returned with 3 birding guides from 3 continents: Alfred Twinomujuni from Uganda, Phub Dorji from Bhutan, and Raphael Santos from Brazil. This multinational birding team never met before but bonded quickly over their shared passion and expertise.

In 3 weeks, the team saw and heard 538 bird species and photographed many birds in their natural habitats.

Enjoy an inspiring photographic journey about birds of Manu with informative and colorful narration by Airame and Chemnick. Photos contributed by Satie Airame, Raphael E. F. Santos and Phub Dorji.
