SWOC Program: Traversing the Elevational Ecosystems of Ecuador
March 15, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
“Do-It-Yourself Birder” Forest Tomlinson will present “From High to Low and In-between: Traversing the Elevational Ecosystems of Ecuador,” encompassing his solo two-week swing through Ecuador. Traveling between the Western Rainforests of Mindo, the highland páramo around Papallacta Pass, and the foothills of the Amazon Rainforests, he saw almost 400 species. He’ll offer travel information and tips, beautiful photos, and a few funny stories. The program is sponsored by Southern Willamette Ornithological Club (SWOC).
The meeting is at the Alluvium, in the Whiteaker area of Eugene. It’s on the corner of Monroe and W 3rd Ave, 810 W 3rd Ave, Eugene, in a spacious room suitable for COVID-safe protocols. All are welcome to this free event, but we encourage donations to help pay the rent.

Program Meetings
Our monthly program meetings have something for everyone. During the last year we hosted programs by naturalists, wildlife artists and expert birders on a variety of topics from the birds of Hawaii, to ravens, wolves, and people, to the migration of red knots. Participating in a program meeting is a fun way to get involved with Lane County Audubon. Meetings are free and open to all.
We are currently meeting on Zoom and in-person as conditions allow on the 4th Tuesday of each month between September and May at 7:00 p.m.
