[Eduardo del Solar]

I would like to extend an invitation to my  bird exhibit.  It takes place at the Boston Nature Center and runs through February 28.  To see  directions, map and hours to this Audubon center see link below.  I am also sharing online all the images that are part of this exhibit through this webpage.

A few images from my exhibit

Inca tern, coastal lima....maybe one of the prettiest terns in the Americas?

Flamingo, Paracas National Reserve, Peru.  These flamingoes were quite common as I was growing up and then became almost extinct.  They are making a comeback now.

Eduardo;

Lots of us would be interested in where and when in Phippsburg you found this Northern Hawk Owl.  Are you sure it wasn't in Bristol?

thanks

Hi Mike,

 

I went into my files and the images were taken February 18 and 19 of 2009.  I had a birding presentation to make in Phippsburg in February 2009 for my friend Robin Robinson and she invited me to see this NHO not far from her home..  Based on emails Robin sent me  this is indeed the owl that wintered in Bristol on February 2009. here are a few more images from those two days

Ooops, another senior moment!  The presentation was in Augusta (Feb.18), not Phippsburg,  dealing with photos of birds and reptiles from my trip to Galapagos.

A birder from this list has asked me if I could do an exhibit closer to his home, namely the Falmouth Audubon sanctuary. I do not recall visiting this sanctuary so I do not know if they have enough gallery space to hold about 20 - 25 framed prints (18 x 24) of birds.  Any information you may provide on this sanctuary, or another close by is appreciated.  I was overwhelmed in my 2009 Augusta Galapagos presentation thinking I was the only nut interested in bird photography...till  I saw how many other "nuts" went out on a frigid February night just to see bird photographs. Having been born and raised below the equatorial line, that blew my socks away and stays fresh in my mind 5 years later! :-)
