the parrot from
when John first
recorded its call until its subsequent sighting
and capture by digital photography. It will
conclude with the ongoing study of the bird’s ecology. The
presentation will contain about 25 still
images and a short video of the Night Parrot.
There will be time set aside for questions at the
end with the presentation On the night, John will
also be selling limited edition prints of the Night Parrot
($300) to raise funds for the continuing study.

and join us to hear this wonderful story
of a search lasting 17 000 hours for a parrot thought
extinct, and in doing so help us celebrate Eremaea eBird’s 1st
year.
