Birding in Kazakhstan
Appropriate for Adults and older children
Hank Kaestner has been a bird watcher for 53 years. He was director of spice procurement for McCormick and Company for 33 years. His work and his passion for birds brought him around the world. In his travels he has seen over 6,800 species of birds. His slide show chronicles the adventures of Hank and his brother, Peter, in searching out the 20 or so species of "specialty birds" of this former Soviet republic.
Hank will also include information about the geography, history, and culture of this exotic central Asian birding destination.
The Museum will open at 7:00, participants are welcome to visit with beverages and snacks in front of the viewing window before the slide show. The slide show will start at 7:30.
