The next meeting of the El Paso/Trans-Pecos Audubon Society is our Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner. It promises to be a most interesting and entertaining evening. Not only will you be able to visit friends and fellow Auduboners, we will be having a great presentation by Dr. David Angerstein who has worked with conservation organizations around the world studying a variety of wildlife. His talk will focus on his experiences in conservation and wildlife rehabilitation in Central and South America.
