Presenter: Alvaro Jaramillo
Location: Niles Discovery Church

Join us for a fun talk by one of our favorite speakers, Alvaro Jaramil lo , about how climate affects the environment, as well as the birding! The Mediterranean climate zone has dry summers and wet winters – sound familia r? We live in a Mediterranean-type climate, and this happens to be the type of region where people produce the finest wines. But similar climates don’ t always have similar avifaunae. In some cases, there are clear-cut differe nces, while in other situations we have very different birds that fit a sim ilar niche in separate Mediterranean parts of the world. Come see a view of what makes Mediterranean regions tick, the great birding to be enjoyed, an d maybe we will even talk a bit about the wine!
