September Meeting to Feature Talk on Veracruz River of Raptors

More than 4.5 million raptors are recorded each fall at the world's largest raptor migration site just north of Veracruz City in southern Mexico along the Gulf coast. Join Robert Templeton, who for several years has trained docents at the count site, as he discusses "this wonder of the natural world." The meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 8, at the Unitarian Church in Santa Fe (corner of Galisteo and Barcelona Sts.) at 7:30 PM.

This talk is co-sponsored by the Randall Davey Audubon Center.

North Central NM Birding

A detailed web site, North Central NM Birding Guide , has been developed that describes birding in north central New Mexico. It includes directions and expected species for more than 15 birding spots in or near the Rio Grande Valley, ranging from Santa Fe in the south to Taos in the north. The site contains information and internet links that should be of value to all birding enthusiasts.
