April 15 Program
Neotropical Migrants:
Birding in the Americas
Nahuel Medina
"The Americas are renowned for their abundant and breathtaking biodiversity, and I have been fortunate to visit several countries in the Western Hemisphere, including Costa Rica, Mexico, and Argentina. Originally from Miami, Florida, I had Central and South America just a hop and skip away, which gave me plenty of opportunities to explore the region's natural beauty. Even though I now reside in Michigan, this move has only fueled my ambitions to visit more countries in the tropics.
"In this presentation, I will share my experiences with Neotropical migrants during their stopover in Miami, as well as insights into the lives of local birds that thrive in tropical regions. I invite you to join me as I discuss my travels, birdwatching, and wildlife photography throughout the Americas."
Nahuel Medina is an Ottawa County Parks Naturalist.
Our programs are in conjunction with the Owashtanog Islands Audubon Society at the Loutit Library in Grand Haven. Social Time: 6:00-6:30, Program: 6:30-8:00.

Being the bird migration season, we might find anything this morning. Being Michigan, be sure to dress for the weather!
