Being part of a meeting is a way to get to know other birders in the community, learn from each other, and learn about birds. 

March Meeting

Iceland Land of Midnight Sun with Shawn Carey

Iceland abounds in natural splendor: Waterfalls and glaciers, panoramic views, and otherworldly landscapes. It is a land of Northern Lights and midnight sun. And it is the realm of one of the world’s most charming and iconic bird: the Atlantic Puffin.

But Iceland is home to much more. During the summer months, Iceland’s round-the-clock sunlight draws in a panoply of birds: Razorbills and guillemots, phalaropes and godwits, plovers and terns, all accompany the puffins in nesting frenzy. Come along with wildlife photographer and Mass Audubon instructor Shawn Carey as he shares images, and stories from his journey spent on two Icelandic islands. More about Shawn here.
