This will be a hybrid of in-person and Zoom. *** For those attending in person: note that we are at a new location. Our meetings this year will be at Cook Memorial Library in downtown Libertyville. ***
Australia has a unique variety of wildlife that lives in its wide ranging habitats from tall humid rainforest canopies to the low dry woodlands of the mallee. Cockatoos, fairywrens, lyrebirds, honeyeaters, koalas and wallabies are some of 262 birds and 18 mammals observed by Doug Reitz & Charlotte Pavelka in Australia and Tasmania in early 2023. We will share highlights from the 74 Australian bird families observed including the primitive Magpie Goose that is in a family of its own (monotypic).
