We will begin our Fall Season of meetings with a Potluck Meal. Please bring your favorite dish to share. (NTOS will provide all drinks and paper products.) We will begin gathering at 6:00 p.m. and eat together. We will have a short business meeting at 7:15 followed by the program, Birding Hawaii – Three Islands and a Pelagic presented by Susan Hubley.
Susan Hubley, along with her husband Michael, traveled to Hawaii in October 2023. They visited the islands of Oahu, Kauai, and the Big Island in search of the Hawaiian endemics, established exotics, and sea birds. The adventure included a pelagic from Kona.
The Hubleys will share photos of their trip and provide some insight into the perils facing the endemic species, and the conservation efforts currently underway.
Susan is a retired teacher, an avid birder and photographer who is a long-time member of the Kingsport Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society. She is the East Tennessee Director-at-large on the TOS Board of Directors. When she is not birding, she enjoys reading and planning her next birding adventure.
