Report on March 28th talk by Dr. Charles Clarkson at the Jamestown Philomenian Library --
“Why Birds? How the Biology of Birds has Baffled Scientists for Years.”
33 people attended this extraordinary 70 minute talk. After answering the question “Why Birds” (they’re “conspicuous, everywhere, beautiful, sing, are observable, diverse, and “cool”, Dr. Clarkson took us on an illustrated whirlwind trip through the “Big Three” areas of scientific inquiry about birds --- Evolution, Migration, and Intelligence. Clearly and with humor, setting out a tremendous amount of information about what we do know, and what we still don’t know about these most amazing creatures. It was spellbinding. Thank you Dr. Clarkson (Charlie) for sharing your passion and knowledge with us!!
