In July 2016, QCBC member Ian Resnick and former president Ian Resnick birded Machu Picchu, other highland areas in the vicinity, as well as two areas not far from Lima. The first day was a private trip north of Lima, and the rest was a group tour of the highlands starting from Cusco. Approximately 185 species of birds were seen or heard among some of the most amazing scenery in the Andes. The weather for this trip was quite good, in fact too dry in some spots, and very cold at the highest altitudes (over 13,000 feet!). Ian will be showing his photos from the trip and discussing the various birds seen and sites visited.
