Birding Papua New Guinea
Thursday, October 16, at 7:00 p.m.
Presentation by Ken Burton
The tropical island of New Guinea is one of the biologically and culturally richest areas on the planet and also one of the least developed, and thus it ranks high on many travelers’ bucket lists. Yet it also has a reputation for being among the world’s most challenging and dangerous travel destinations, so relatively few tourists actually get it off their lists.
Ken recently ventured to Papua New Guinea with two friends and lived to tell us about it! He’ll share photos, videos, and audio recordings of some of the wildlife, people, and scenery they encountered, including representatives of the island’s seven endemic bird families.

presentation by Bridget Mulkerin:
“Wind Energy with Birds and People in Mind.“
Offshore wind, when responsibly sited, is supported by the National Audubon Society as reflected in their January 2025 report, “Birds and Offshore Wind: Developing the Offshore Wind that Birds Need.”
Mulkerin, Senior Manager of Climate Policy at Audubon California, will share insights from this report with additional information on California’s offshore wind sector, including how Audubon California has been involved in ensuring this energy source is developed responsibly with birds and people in mind.
