In April of 2024, Wendy Rihner crossed off two bucket list items in one trip to central Spain. Travelling with Field Guides Birding Tours, she not only visited the land of her favorite literary character (some might say her literary hero) Señor Don Quixote, but she also hiked through some of the birdiest regions of Spain. Spain is indeed the birdiest country in Europe, but its birds and other wildlife face threats not too dissimilar from those faced by wildlife here at home. Focusing on a few habitats such mesetas (plains), steppes (unforested grasslands), and marismas (marshes), Wendy will highlight some of the special birds and other wildlife that inhabit these systems and the threats they face today.
