A Post to Welcome 2025

Posted on by

We look forward to a New Year with its accompanying opportunities, challenges, frights and gifts.

Thank you for your interest in the San Vito Bird Club and your support over the years. Our new motto is: Let’s Survive 2025!

Yesterday, we had a wonderful Bird Walk at the Las Cruces Biological Research Station’s Wilson Botanical Garden. Highlights included two Swallow-tailed Kites, South American migrants who return each year to nest; a brilliant Baltimore Oriole; a young, male Summer Tanager in transition plumage — from yellow to orange to red — and a Wedge-tailed Woodcreeper! (Considering we started in a damp, thick fog, things went our way in the end.)

Additionally, two outstanding members — Anna Bilberry and Terry Farling — brought baked goods to share at the Coffee Hour. Yum yum and thank you!

Please join us whenever and however you can.

P.S. We’ll update you shortly on our efforts to support travel for María Sandi and Alisson Vargas to Bird Banding Training in the Dominican Republic — life-changing for them and uplifting for us. We proudly work on this project with the Finca Cántaros Environmental Association.

Come Walk With Us — Sunday, July 28

Please join us for a Nature/Bird Walk this weekend at the beautiful Wilson Botanical Garden (also known as ‘Las Cruces’). We will meet at 7:00 am at the Reception Center and, as always, we’ll have binoculars to lend and a guide to lead.

The walk usually takes about an hour; after that we have a sociable Coffee Hour in the dining room. If you feel expansive, bring a few colones to leave for the kitchen ladies who have to wash our cups and saucers.

It’s a fun way to spend the morning! We look forward to seeing you there!

Pablo Ortiz

The event on Sunday to celebrate the life of Pablo Ortiz was very inspiring for me. Many stories were shared about how one man through hard work, kindness, and a clear vision of what needed to be done helped and inspired so many people. I just wanted to share the following blog post written by Gail Hull back in 2015 about Pablo’s life and work with the Nöbe.

La conmemoración de la vida del Dr. Ortiz el domingo fue muy inspirador para mí. Muchas de las historias contaron como un hombre valiente, amable, con una visión clara de lo que debe de hacer y, sí, jupón puede afectar la vidas de tantas personas y cambiarlas la vida a algunas. Quiero compartir este Blog que escribió Gail Hull, la exdueña de la Finca Cántaros, en 2015 sobre la vida de Pablo y su trabajo con la Nöbe.

Please join us this Sunday for a special event. We will begin with a bird walk at 7 AM at the Wilson Gardens. We’ll meet at the reception. Afterwards those who wish can go to the Cascata del Bosco just down the road for a celebration of the life of Dr. Pablo Ortiz who died on the 14th of this month.
