Wednesday October 15, 2025: 6:00pm to 7:30pm
Downtown Library: 1st Floor Lobby
Join WBNA member Keith Dickey as he shares images and observations from a recent trip to Panama. Keith and his wife Alison spent 6 days at Canopy Tower and Canopy Lodge birding and hiking, followed by 3 days exploring the coral reefs of Bocas del Toro on Panama's Gulf coast in early March. Among the 200 bird species and 120 other non-avian critters they saw and photographed, highlights included a very cooperative White-tipped Sicklebill, a skulky but curious Black-capped Antpitta, Motmots aplenty, Brown-throated Three-toed Sloths, Panamanian Night Monkeys, Confusa Tigerwing Butterflies, Spinybacked Orbweavers, Mangrove Upsidedown Jellyfish, a school of Atlantic Spadefish and several Caribbean Whiptail Stingrays.
Washtenaw Bird and Nature Alliance holds monthly meetings featuring entertaining and informative speakers. The program kicks off with announcements of recent bird sightings and upcoming events. Past speaker topics have included: the impact of climate change on bird populations, birding around the world, butterflies, amphibians, reptiles, endangered species, bird banding, nature photography, and Great Lakes issues with emphasis on birds. Meetings are free and open to the public – you do not need to be a member to attend a meeting.
