Christopher Colonje, photographer, tour leader, and birder since 2009, will guide us as we experience the exotic birds and amazing habitats of Colombia.
Christopher and his team at Colombia Birdwatch (colombiabirdwatch.com) literally put Colombia on the map as a premier birding country. He has hosted members of the National Audubon staff and several KAS members. Christopher and his family operate an Eco lodge, Araucana Lodge, near the city of Cali. He also has a residence in Oregon. Education: Humboldt State University.
Our June 9 program will take you on a virtual birding tour of southwestern Colombia, including the Choco region and cloud forests where Frank Chapman logged more than 250 species during his three month visit in the early 1900’s. Chris will weave an illustrated journey through the emergence of bird tourism, conservation, and networking in modern Colombia.
We hope you enjoy the program!
