Oceania TCC Chapter members talked about birds during their November 2020 meeting.
Detlef Davies shared birdwatching experiences from his guided tour of Peru and Madagascar. Detlef also mentioned seeing a Bird of Paradise at Mount Glorious in Queensland.
Susan Turnbull shared a photo of an endangered Manumea painted on the side of a building in a prominent location in Samoa. Susan has not seen one, nor have most other people. They recently sent out a conservation search team who apparently heard it. Some say they saw it. Below is some more reading for those that are interested:
