Frank Garner and Jeff Laverdiere of the Kalispell Rotary Club and Melissa Hulvat of Kalispell Daybreak worked with Park trail crew members Bryan Allen and Lindsey Manzo building a foot bridge on Howe Ridge. Other Rotarians helped plant 370 snowberry, kinnikinic, purple aster, wild current and five other species at the Loop along the Going-to-Sun Road.

He is set to come back in 5 weeks and is really sad about it. Then again, who wouldn’t be?? I really like the photo of his District conference held in Vienna. He is on the bottom right (back towards the camera) in his YE blazer. Wish we could have our District conference there!! Just wanted you to know that Euro-Tour went well with no problems at all. Walter and Doris are not a husband and wife, but rather a father/daughter. Nolan said they bonded well, and I’ve attached a photo of Nolan hugging Doris. The photos show a variety of the trip. He said Paris was his least fa- vorite and Jesolo and Monoco were his favorite. He attended District 1920 Conference in Salzburg and District 1910 in Vienna. The build- ing was AMAZING! Can’t wait to see his 1000’s of photos. 4 Rotary District 5390 • Montana July 2010 International Project Success Story The Rotary Club of Kalispell District 5390 International Location: Chacala, Nayarit, Mexico is a small fishing village (pop. 300) on the Pacific coast of Project Success Mexico between San Blas and Puerto Vallarta.

NUMBER 2 2 2 2 AUGUST I7, I 965 Systematic Notes on the Bird Family Cracidae. No. 2 Relationships and Geographical Variation of Ortalis vetula, Ortalis poliocephala, and Ortalis leucogastra BY CHARLES VAURIE1 INTRODUCTION The Cracidae are a well-defined family ofgallinaceous birds oftropical America, but the genus Ortalis penetrates well north of the Tropic of Cancer, reaching the lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas in the east and southern Sonora in the west (fig. 1). In the lower Rio Grande Valley it ascends to the region of Laredo, or to latitude 270 30' N., and reaches about the same latitude in the west in the region of Alamos, but it does not inhabit the Mexican Plateau north of Mexico City. Ortalis is the most widely distributed genus in the family and breeds farthest north. The forms of Ortalis that breed in Mexico north to Texas were divided into two species by Peters (1934), namely, wagleri Gray, 1867, in western Mexico from Sonora to Jalisco, and vetula Wagler, 1830, ranging from the Rio Grande in the east and Colima in the west to the Guatemalan border. In vetula, Peters included as subspecies poliocephala Wagler, 1830, lAssociate Curator, Department of Ornithology, the American Museum of Natural History. 2 AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES NO. 2222 and leucogastra Gould, 1843. This treatment is the "classical" one followed by Hellmayr and Conover (1942), Ridgway and Friedmann (1946), and Friedmann, Griscom, and Moore (1950), but it has been questioned in recent years by Wagner (1953) and Moore and Medina (1957) who gave good reasons for considering that poliocephala is not conspecific with vetula, although in the main it replaces vetula in western Mexico.

  • Underrated Beach Destinations in Mexico That Aren't Tourist Traps
    TRAVEL The Best Beaches in Mexico You've Never Heard Of By MEAGAN DRILLINGER Published On 08/14/2019 @drillinjourneys Cabo Pulmo, Baja California, Mexico | ©fitopardo.com/moment/getty images Winter’s got us firmly clutched in her icy death grip with no relief in sight, and flying south to kick back on a beach in Mexico sounds pretty dang appealing right about now. Unless, of course, you’re joined by 1,500 of your closest friends, relatives, strangers, their mothers, grandmothers, and screaming children. Finding an untapped beach along the coast of Mexico has become something of a challenge as the sleepy towns and secret coves along its shorelines get discovered, rediscovered, Instagrammed, and overdeveloped. But it’s not impossible. All you need is a sense of adventure and, in some cases, a set of wheels to dig into your Cast Away fantasy on one of these rustic, off-the-radar stretches of sand. Costa Maya | Bill Diodato/Getty Images Costa Maya Quintana Roo Tulum is anything but low-key these days; instead of arriving late to the party, skip it altogether and keep heading south. Practically at the border of Belize, at the very southernmost point of Quintana Roo, you'll find the Costa Maya, a stretch of coast well loved by locals. On one side you have the gorgeous Caribbean Sea and with its #instaporn colors, and on the other, lush, verdant mangroves teeming with wildlife. Onshore, there’s the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, where visitors stand a good chance of spying monkeys and jaguars. Make Mahahual your jumping off point for exploring; although the town's main eyesore is a small cruise terminal, it’s thoroughly backpacker friendly with small hotels, hostels, and beach bars.
