The Best Birds in the World

The always-entertaining Ram Papish has promised to take us along on his adventure into the land of the world’s most flamboyant and flashy birds.

The island of New Guinea, in the far southwestern part of the Pacific Ocean, is the world’s second largest island. A slender peninsula of Australia points north to Papua New Guinea, which takes up the eastern half of the island. This country is famous as a location for Birds of Paradise, Bowerbirds, Pittas, and Paradise Kingfishers. But is it really paradise for birders? You’ll have to decide that for yourselves.

From the comfort of your home, you can join your friends for this Zoom-only program on Tuesday, April 21, at 7:00. The link to this Zoom program will be found on the Coast to Cascades Bird Alliance website one week before this event.
