The public is cordially invited to attend what should be a fascinating program. Speakers include Bill and Karen MacDougall and Scott Klynstra with the presentation including photographs and stories of amazing birds and wildlife of Costa Rica.
Costa Rica is a highly popular destination for birders from around the world. With mountains, forests, jungles, coasts and coffee plantations, this Central American country offers diverse habitats and, therefore, an amazing range of birds with many classical tropical species being common, widespread and easy to see.
“There are birds everywhere, and birding visitors can expect to see as many as 250 species per trip with remarkably little effort, including beloved temperate zone migrants, such as the Cerulean Warbler,” Klynstra noted.
The MacDougalls and Klynstra who have made many trips to Costa Rica will provide stories, bird lists, photographs and information on where to see the Resplendent Quetzal at this entertaining presentation.

The program is free – they want your good ideas, positive energy and desire to make a positive difference.
Lake County has vast resources of people with skills and ideas that can be harnessed to make a significant contribution to the health and well being of our communities. The more we can depend on ourselves – on each other – the better off we'll be.
Attendees will make choices on how to spent their day.
Options include:
Brainstorming and sharing ideas for increasing volunteerism in general – to create a culture of “people helping people and neighbor helping neighbor.”
Working on special projects such a developing a volunteer referral program, how to spread the word and keep the process growing, coordination among organizations, etc.
Learning about recruiting, managing and retaining volunteers with Terry Fries, an expert in nonprofit and volunteer management.
The event will be held in the brand new Lower Lake High School gymnasium from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 16. There also will be the option to continue into the afternoon. Use of the gym has been donated and the Lower Lake High School Key Club has volunteered to help.
