SUMMARY:Speaker Series | Rebecca Heisman - Surprising Secrets of Bird Biology
DESCRIPTION:** THIS IS A ZOOM-ONLY PRESENTATION ** \n** Co-Sponsored with Land of Lakes Bird Alliance ** \nReservation and Zoom Link \nBecause they’re warm-blooded\, it’s easy to imagine that birds are basically feathery versions of mammals—but in reality\, of course\, they’re dinosaurs. Birds’ anatomy and physiology are wildly different from ours. \nRebecca Heisman promises that you’ll learn at least one new and surprising fact in this talk (probably more than one!) as we take a whirlwind tour of what birds are\, where they came from\, and how they breathe\, fly\, sing\, sense the world around them\, and more. It’s the ornithology course you never got to take in college\, condensed into a single entertaining hour. It will share facts and stories about bird respiration\, flight\, song\, and senses that many birders aren’t familiar with. \nRebecca Heisman is a science writer based in eastern Washington who loves “nerding” out about birds. She has contributed to publications like Audubon Magazine\, Living Bird\, and Bird Conservation. From 2015 to 2020\, she worked for the American Ornithological Society\, the world’s largest professional organization for bird scientists. Initially\, as an independent contractor helping to promote research published in AOS’s scientific journals and later as its first full-time communications staffer\, Heisman brought bird science to a broader scientific community and the public. There\, she became deeply familiar with the North American ornithological community and grew excited about the diverse and fascinating methods for studying birds. \nTo learn more about Rebecca’s work\, check out these sources: \nhttps://rebeccaheisman.com/\, https://rebeccaheisman.substack.com/ \n
