Dana will recount his birding adventures, with lots of photos, during a recent trip to Costa Rica. The travelers were a small group of friends, some of whom had traveled together to Cuba for a similar birding trip. The group was arranged and guided by a local bird expert, and traveled a large loop through central Costa Rica, visiting national parks, wildlife refuges, and private reserves

He earned an MS in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from FSU studying the Limpkin, and is an authority on the snail-eating wading bird, about which he has authored several accounts, including the Cornell Lab’s online Birds of the World. Dana was active in the leadership of Apalachee Audubon Society in the 1980s and 90s, and served on the board of Florida Audubon Society for 11 years. He was on the founding boards of Birdsong Nature Center and the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge Association, and for several years has compiled the St. Marks circle of the national Christmas Bird Count.
