Aaron Budgor will be presenting photographs and sharing stories from his recent visit to Peru. Home to sections of the Andes Mountain Range and the Amazon Rainforest, Peru houses astounding avian diversity. Notable avifauna found in Peru include the Andean Cock-of-the-rock (regarded as the national bird of Peru), the Great Inca-finch, and the Inca Tern. A wide range of unique tanagers and hummingbirds are also seen in Peru. Peru has long been a destination for birders, with famed ornithologist Theodore Parker III stating “Peru offers ‘bird-enthusiasts’ more than any other country in the world.”
