February 9, 2012 – Kenya Birding
Safari
Guest
Speaker: Dr. Dan
Scheiman
Program: Kenya Birding
Safari
Dan
will share sights, sounds, and
stories from his July 4-17,
2011, Kenya birding safari. He,
his wife Samantha, and three
other birders hired a guide to
introduce them to the wonders of
Africa during the peak of
wildebeest migration. They
visited a variety of habitats
from rainforest to arid
scrubland in several national
parks and reserves including:
Maasai Mara, Samburu, and Lake
Nakuru; the latter famous for
hosting millions of flamingos.
They experienced up-close looks
at most of Kenya’s large mammals
such as lions, elephants, and
zebras. Of Kenya’s 1,100 bird
species, they saw 433 including
hornbills, sunbirds, mousebirds,
greenbuls, barbets, and
bustards.
Dr.
Dan Scheiman is Vice President
of the Audubon Society of
Central Arkansas, and Bird
Conservation Director for
Audubon Arkansas. Dan has a B.S.
from Cornell University, M.S.
from Eastern Illinois
University, and Ph.D. from
Purdue University. Together, he
and his staff monitor birds and
other wildlife, restore wildlife
habitat, and help Arkansans
improve their local
environments. Dan has been
birding for 24 years. In the six
years he has lived in Arkansas
he has seen 339 of the 410 bird
species documented in the state.
