The Most Colorful and Fascinating Species, Topic of Montclair Bird Club Meeting

An enthusiastic birder and amateur naturalist with a particular interest in reptiles and amphibians will kick off the 2013-14 season of the Montclair Bird Club with a talk based on his many trips to Central and South America.
