Migration of the Ornithologists

We have had some good reception from Dominican ornithologists; 2 have come on board with more on the way.  Our experts from the US are also rallying and before long the list should be complete!

Other details are being finalized as well.  Long-distance logistics are always tricky.  However, with 2

in-country contacts, confidence is high that lodging and other particulars will soon be nailed down, and then on to the minutae!

About This Project

Migratory birds, songbirds in particular, over-winter in the tropics. Much of the land is being deforested to make room for agriculture. I have a unique opportunity to establish a bird sanctuary on at least 300 acres of a large organic cocoa plantation in the Dominican Republic. Funds raised for this project will be used to support a team of ornithologists who will identify the species of songbirds that live on the plantation.
Blast off!
