Birding in Newfoundland with Thane Dinsdale

  • Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center 4500 Sioux River Road Sioux City, IA, 51109 United States (map)

Thane Dinsdale will share his birding and cultural adventures in Newfoundland, the easternmost maritime province of Canada and the easternmost point in North America. He had the opportunity to explore a variety of habitats including the boreal forest, the tundra, and various sea shores. He will share his photos and experiences seeing over 89 species of birds. Some of his highlights include viewing seabird colonies including puffins, gannets, and razorbills, and seeing the famous Steller’s Sea-Eagle. Thane will discuss his experiences, assessing the wide variety of habitats in this area. He will incorporate Newfoundland's rich history and distinctive local culture, both of which have been influenced by its low population density and geographical isolation.

The Loess Hills Audubon Society Board Meeting begins at 6:00 pm with Thane’s program beginning at 7:00 pm.

Everyone is welcome to attend both the board meeting and the free program!
