Topic: "Chasing Rare and Spectacular Birds in the World's Wild Places"

Speaker: David Pereksta

Date: October 8, 2024 at 7:00pm

Some people may think that David Pereksta never leaves Ventura County. While he does hold all the local birding records, David’s quest as a birder and ornithologist often takes him to far away corners of the world. Taking advantage of a number of unique opportunities, both personal and professional, his adventures have taken him to remote and little visited areas of North America, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, the Tropical Pacific, the Russian Far East, and Europe. He has also been to several islands that are nesting sites of some of the world’s rarest seabirds.

 

David will take us on a journey to some of these incredible destinations and will share stories and photos of a diverse array of rare, endemic, and just plain spectacular birds that he has encountered during these travels. This promises to be a fun and inspiring talk with lots of great photos and crazy stories.

NESTING BIRDS

Please postpone any tree-trimming until the fall when the tree can be reassessed for trimming. Much tree-trimming is unnecessary, not helpful for birds, and bad for the tree, such as topping and over-thinning.  

 

Please see our Tree Trimming Guidelines for more recommendations on tree-trimming.

GO BIRDING

Ventura County provides many recreational opportunities in a beautiful natural setting. Good birding is one of the Central Coast’s finest recreational features. The Central Coast is strategically located on the Pacific Flyway and provides habitat to many resident and migratory birds.
