Welcome Ksenia 20 July 2011

Liza departed this afternoon to be replaced by Ksenia Bibanova, who will help us out until the birds make the journey to Moscow Zoo.  Ksenia works with an early music orchestra – Pratum Integrum in Moscow organising travel, hotels, visas and logistics.  Ksenia was asked to participate in this project by her good friend, CEO of Birds Russia, Dr. Evgeny E. Syroechkovskiy.  Having never been to Chukotka and having always been interested in the region, Ksenia was very keen to be involved.
