Event Details

New Zealand is a fascinating island nation, characterized by soaring, snowy peaks in the south and bubbling hot springs in the north. It’s home to bizarre birds like flightless, nocturnal Kiwis and Kākāpōs (the heaviest parrot on earth), and mischievous alpine parrots called Keas. Fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings will recall the beautiful landscapes of New Zealand where these trilogies were filmed on location, leveraging the country’s diverse landscapes for the movies. 

Kathryn and Al Davino made their winter escape to New Zealand in February of 2025, and she returned bubbling over with photos and stories about this captivating place. Share the adventure on May 15 at Elm Park Methodist Church, Oneonta, NY OR on Zoom at 7:30 p.m.

About the Presenter: Kathryn Davino is a retired High School Biology Teacher from Delaware Academy in Delhi. She is an enthusiastic birder, gardener, and watcher of wildlife. She has served on the DOAS Board of Directors since 2016.
