Upcoming Meetings
From September through May, the Mearns Club meets every second Monday of the month at 7:30 pm. At the meetings, a club member or an outside speaker gives a presentation about his or her birding travels or studies.
February 12, 2018
Join long-time Mearns member Carol Weiss as we continue our exploration of Caribbean birds. In previous talks, speakers have touched on the Greater Antillean islands of Puerto Rico and Cuba. Carol describes her recent exploration of the island of Jamaica, the third of the four main Greater Antillean islands. With approximately 28 endemics, including the spectacular Red-billed Streamertail, and approximately 290 bird species overall, Jamaica is one of the top birding locations in the Caribbean.
