“Why Birds? How the Biology of Birds has Baffled Scientists for Years.”

33 people attended this very informative 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 Charles presented a tremendous amount of information on each topic about what we do know, and what we still don’t know, about these most amazing creatures. Thank you Dr. Clarkson for sharing your passion and knowledge with us!!
