Ardith Bondi will present "Chile, South Georgia, and the Falkland Islands "
Ardith Bondi has made several trips to South Georgia and the Falkland
Islands, one with an extension to Chile. Penguins, her favorite birds,
aren't always easy to access. Some require a few flights to out-of-the-way
places; others require some pretty rough boat trips or climbing rocks. One
always hopes that the weather cooperates. Ardith's talk will include photos
of seven species of penguin, some very unusual ducks, albatross and giant
petrels, geese, pipits, wrens, plovers, an owl, other birds and a few
mammals. In addition, it will include some special captures of behaviors,
the reward for spending hours observing bird colonies.
Ardith lives in Manhattan. She earned a PhD in pharmacology from
Columbia University and continued medical research at New York University
Medical Center and at The Rockefeller University before leaving research to
perform as a flutist. After years of performing and teaching, she still
plays in the Centre Symphony in Manhattan, and photographs birds near home
and in many other interesting places.
