Birding Colombia’s Southern Frontier—Putumayo

Free. Participants must register in advance. To register, send an email request to: OrleansAudubon@aol.com with “Colombia” as the subject line and include your full name in the body of the email message. If participating by phone, also include your phone number. Please register as soon as possible and at least two hours prior to the start of the meeting.

The small Department of Putumayo lies along the southern border of Colombia, adjacent to the northern border of Ecuador. Within Putumayo lies the main Andean massif, the eastern slope, the Andean foothills and the beginnings of the Amazonian basin. This wide array of habitats leads to a huge variety of birds. In addition, just to the north lies the Department of Huila which is home to the UNESCO Archeological Site San Augustin. San Augustin is a collection of ancient ceremonial and burial sites dating back to 3300 BC. The burial sites were accompanied by stone statues. Very little is known about the people who created these magnificent carved stones.

Join Ken and Joelle as they bird from 10,000 ft in the paramo of the high Andes down to 800 ft on the edge of the Amazon Basin.
