The next Queens County Bird Club meeting will be via Zoom on Wednesday, February 19th at 7:30 PM. Donna Schulman will present "Birding Across Kenya". Thanks to diverse habitats and numerous protected areas, Kenya ranks high on lists of best countries to bird (over 1100 species!). Donna traveled through Kenya for two weeks in October 2023. She saw charismatic birds like Vulturine Guineafowl, Gray-crowned Crane and Hartlaub’s Turaco, tiny birds like Blue-headed Bee-eater and Purple Grenadier, and all manner of birdsin-between, including endemics like Papyrus Gonolek and Sokoke Scops-Owl. Traveling safari style through Tsavo East, Tsavo West, and the renown Maasai Mara, the group also encountered lions, cheetahs, African buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and many species of antelope and monkeys. It was a magical trip and Donna’s presentation will focus on the highs along with a few eco-travel lessons learned along the way.Donna learned how to bird with QCBC and has branched out to Central & South America, Africa, SE Asia, Europe, and Australia. A former academic labor educator and library director, she reviews books for 10,000 Birds and Birding magazine and discusses best birding books with the members of the Birding Book Club on the American Birding Association podcast. Donna’s photographs have been featured in Birding and Birdwatching Magazine, the publications and social media of N.J. Audubon and Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the educational signage of Negri-Nepote Grasslands in N.J. and of a tern colony somewhere in Germany. She is a past editor of QCBC’s News and Notes.
