Description of Program:
Judy Neuhauser will present the Fourth 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 recorded music by Aria DiSalvio, a cellist from Santa Cruz, and her musical collaborators, and by Cafe Musique, a local San Luis Obispo County band.
