     Citrus County Audubon Society is joining with Hernando Audubon Society to host a special presentation entitled “Birding in Panama” on Tuesday, January 31 starting at 7:00 p.m. at Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park.
     Panamá is scarcely the size of South Carolina, but it is perfectly positioned as a narrow land bridge between North and South America and so is blessed with incredible natural beauty and biodiversity. Over 975 birds species, hundreds of mammals, reptiles and amphibians, and a staggering 10,000 plant species have been recorded there.
     Come to our meeting to join the knowledgeable and entertaining head guide of the Canopy Tower, Carlos Bethancourt, on a photographic journey across Central Panama, where myriad tropical birds, bizarre mammals and unusual reptiles and amphibians are seen in their natural settings.  From Toucans to hummingbirds, Mouse Opossums to tongue-wielding Orange Nectar Bats, Carlos will keep you spellbound with his stories of discovery and dazzle you with his vivid photographs. 
     Join us to see why Panamá is considered by many to be the country of Natural Splendor! Get more details at www.HernandoAudubon.org
