Fort Worth Audubon Society-January 5, 2019, 10.00 AM Special Saturday Morning Program-BIRDING WITHOUT BORDERS -TO SEE THE WORLD ONE BIRD AT A TIME, NOAH STRYCKER PRESENTS on his 2015 World Big Year-6,042 Species Observed

Fort Worth Audubon Society is hosting Noah Strycker, former world big year record holder (2015-6,042 species) for a special Saturday morning program on Saturday morning January 5, 2019, at 10.00 AM. In 2015, Noah set himself a lofty goal: to become the first person to see half the planet’s birds in one year. For 365 days, with a backpack, binoculars, and a series of one-way tickets, he traveled across forty-one countries and all seven continents, eventually spotting 6,042 species—at the time the biggest birding year on record. This is no travelogue or glorified checklist. Noah ventures deep into a world of blood-sucking leeches, chronic sleep deprivation, airline snafus, breakdowns, mudslides, floods, war zones, ecologic devastation, conservation triumphs, common and iconic species, and scores of passionate bird lovers around the globe. By pursuing the freest creatures on the planet, he gains a unique perspective on the world they share with us—and offers a hopeful message that even as many birds face an uncertain future, more people than ever are working to protect them. Small continental breakfast available and Noah will be selling and autographing his book “Birding Without Borders” for $15.00 (cash or check). Admission is free. Fort Worth Audubon Society t-shirts and hats will also be available. The FWAS meeting will start at 10.00 am in Room 100 on the lower level of Research and Education Building, UNT Health Science Center, 3500 Camp Bowie Blvd. (at Montgomery St. For additional information and directions log on the to the FWAS website at http://www.fwas.org/showthread.php?4-Monthly-Meetings.
