Speaker: Desmond MacNeal
Desmond MacNeal (Des) is a 16 year old enthusiast naturalist.
A birder at heart, his interest in birds was sparked at 9 years old seeing an American Woodcock‘s display in his backyard.
From then on his interest only grew, expanding to herps to insects to plants. Des has attended two OFO birding camps at Algonquin Park and has also volunteered at Long Point, banding birds.
Last summer he took part in a week long northern breeding bird atlas trip. This summer, you will find him at Algonquin working as a Park Naturalist.
Subject: Costa Rica Trip Photos and Observations
My Explorations in Costa Rica
Focusing on a month long trip to Costa Rica in the winter of 2023-2024.
In that time, we stayed at 9 different places, letting us experience Costa Rica in a way many tourists don’t. I had many adventures, highlighted by nearly 400 species of birds I saw and countless other flora and fauna.
I’ll be focusing on the unique aspects of the different biomes we visited and the animals we saw in those places.
