Monthly meeting Birds of Cuba

January 19, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Social Mixer is from 7:00 PM to 7:30 PM. Enjoy a beverage and snacks while chatting it up with your fellow SCAS members.

The General Meeting starts at 7:30 with an update from the president and then onto our featured program described below;

Just 90 miles from Key West, Cuba has been almost a “lost world” for almost 60 years to American travelers. Despite its political isolation from the USA, Cuba is still a large Caribbean island with a highly diverse bird population including numerous endemic species. This program chronicles Sam Fried’s 10-day visit to the island, in search of birds and a sense of what Cuba is really like today.
