North Durham Nature (NDN) Club will be presenting Birding In Mongolia with Carly Davenport, Martin Parker and Dave Brewer at 7 p.m. on March 25th at the Scugog Memorial Library in Port Perry.
As Canadians, we are used to working a bit harder to see birds across our expansive country. Birding in Mongolia is no different, but it rewards the traveller with breathtaking views and amazing birds which eke out an existence in the late spring and summer months.
Carly Davenport, Martin Parker and David Brewer travelled to Mongolia, the land of Genghis Khan, in the spring of 2024 and spent just over a month in this amazing country. These experienced Ontario naturalists will share their experiences at North Durham Nature’s March meeting. The public is invited to attend and learn more about the birds in this unique part of the world. For more details about the club’s talks and walks, visit www.northdurhamnature.com.
Carly Davenport worked as an Assistant Art Director on American Feature Films and Television for over 10 years and recently earned a B.Sc. from Trent University and an M.Sc. in Medical Science from the University of Toronto. She dedicates much of her free time to bird conservation and has founded Bird Safe U of T, Bird Friendly Selwyn, and Bird Friendly Uxbridge.
Martin Parker has been a lifetime birder and naturalist. He participated in his first Christmas Bird Count (CBC) when he was 12 and has completed counts each year since. He has worked as a Park Naturalist at several Ontario Parks and has led birding and nature tours for over five decades.
David Brewer was born in western England, where he started birding at about eleven years of age. He studied Organic Chemistry at Cambridge University before going to Glasgow for graduate work, where he whiled away his spare time by banding Gannets and Puffins with scars to prove it. He then spent a year at the University of Arizona in Tucson, which began his lifelong interest in Neotropical ornithology.
