TRACKING RESIDENT, TRANSIENT, AND MIGRATORY BIRDS ON THE FORBIDDEN ISLAND OF CUBA

Soledad Pagliuca of the St. Augustine -Baracoa Friendship Association will speak at the May meeting of the St. Johns County Audubon Society. She will also present an interesting slide show about her recent trip to Cuba to study migratory birds as they passed that island on their way north.

To many biologists, bird scientists, and volunteer bird counters, Cuba is considered out of bounds. The United States maintains a strict embargo on travel to Cuba. But migratory birds know nothing about boundaries, borders, or political decrees. They fly freely from South America, stopping at the many Caribbean islands on their way north for the summer.

Don't forget we meet on the 4th Monday of the month September - May.
