[Frank Windfelder]

This Thursday, we will have another great DVOC meeting. Bring a friend.

First, before the meeting, there is an optional talk (listed below) beginning at 6:00 PM at the Academy, but complete details are at www.dvoc.org

An Excursion to the Rocky Mountains : 
The Life and Travels of John Kirk Townsend
an illustrated talk by
Academy Senior Fellow Robert Peck

Program – Rob Fergus, “Birds of the Ancient and Modern Maya”
Birds have played important roles in Mesoamerican cultures for thousands of years. Rob Fergus explores the connections between birds and various Mayan cultures as revealed in their ancient art and his ongoing field work with four modern Mayan communities in Guatemala and Belize. In addition to reviewing the songs and calls of Central American birds, if you want to know how the Turkey Vulture got its red head, which bird you can burn to a crisp to make into a love potion, why you can't have sex before you plant your corn crop, or how to cure warts, this is the program for you!
