      April Program: Third Annual Birds of SLO and Northern Santa Barbara Counties, curated and presented by Judy Neuhauser, with gorgeous photos of local birds from local photographers with music accompaniment by Aria DiSalvio.

Description of the Community Program: Judy Neuhauser will present the third annual program of Birds of San Luis Obispo and Northern Santa Barbara Counties. This slide show, featuring photos from some of the best photographers in the area, will showcase the splendor of birds that live and migrate through the spectacularly varied habitats in our counties. The wide range of birds that live in or pass through these landscapes is truly amazing. Join us as we get a close-up look at these birds as they live their lives, in photos taken by some of the Central Coast’s finest nature photographers. The program will be set to music by Aria DiSalvio, a cellist from Santa Cruz, and her musical collaborators.

Bio: Judy Neuhauser is a retired field botanist and educator who worked for many years in California’s deserts, chaparral, and conifer forests; as an outdoor educator; and as a bilingual classroom teacher. She lived and taught for two years in the mountains of Costa Rica. She was founder of Stream Consciousness, local chapter of the Urban Creeks Council, that worked on making creeks a vital part of urban life in San Luis Obispo. She was active in developing and presenting classroom programs on birds for MCAS and served as the MCAS President for 5 ½ years.

MCAS is excited to offer this program as an in-person event. Please come and take the opportunity to meet your MCAS Board and talk with other local bird enthusiasts and our outstanding photographers. If you are unable to attend in person, you will be able to view the program just a few days later on the MCAS YouTube Channel.
