Subject: [Va-bird] Northern Virginia Bird Club Meeting: 9-17-08, Daphne
Gemmill with Birds of High Altitudes and Latitudes- All are Welcome
Please join us at the Northern Virginia Bird Club meeting on September
17, 2008 for a program called Birds of High Altitudes and Latitudes:
Birders flock to the tropics, for that is where many of the world's
birds live. The birds of the mountains and ice may not be as numerous,
but many of them are restricted-range birds that are of conservation
concern. Daphne Gemmill, founder of BigPockets and former American
Birding Association Board member, has traveled to Tibet, known as the
Roof of the World, and to Antarctica and to other mountainous and high
latitude places in search of these special birds. Through slides, she
will discuss the joys and challenges of visiting these remote places
and the special birds that live there.
The meeting will be at the Church of the Covenant, 2666 Military Road,
Arlington, VA. There will also be refreshments and door prizes. For
more directions and other details go to:

We also have a number of field20trips coming up, where everyone is also
welcome. You can check those out by clicking on our newsletter, "The
Siskin"' from the website at www.nvabc.org
