The lure of Iceland for birders lies not in the number of species to
be seen, but in the quality of those species and the opportunity to
encounter them in spectacularly beautiful and unspoiled landscapes, sometimes
in overwhelming numbers. Seabirds, shorebirds, waterfowl, and gulls are
all well represented. Some are special Icelandic races and subspecies
found nowhere else. Many birds in this sparsely populated land show a
remarkable lack of fear of humans, allowing for close viewing and photography.
Join Sandra Paci as she discusses her 2013 journey to this intriguing
island nation.
Sandra Paci was born in Baltimore, Maryland and lives in New
York City,where she works for a gallery in the Chelsea art district and is an

to over twenty countries outside the U.S., mostly in Europe and Latin
America. Sandra became an avid birder in 2003 and has enjoyed long-distance
birding trips to Alaska, Mexico, Panama, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia,
