SUMMARY:Hybrid BBC Fall Meeting: The Resplendent Quetzal
DESCRIPTION:The Brookline Bird Club invites you to our Hybrid (Live+Zoom) Fall Meeting on Friday October 25\, 2024 from 7pm-9pm\, with a social hour beginning at 6:30pm. \nThis hybrid meeting will be hosted at the Harvard University Geologic Hall (24 Oxford Street\, Cambridge) as well as via Zoom for those unable to attend live. Note that there is free parking at the 52 Oxford Street Parking garage. The event is open to BBC members and non-members. \n*** \nA dazzling and legendary bird of the highland forests of Mexico and Central America\, Aztec and Mayan cultures revered the Resplendent Quetzal. How have conservation efforts failed it in many regions\, but given it a boost in others? What else do we know? We will focus on the RQ’s nesting and feeding ecology\, on its central role in Mayan and Aztec religions\, on how it fits into the increasingly threatened rainforests that sustain it\, and on what lies ahead for this bird. Dr. Alan Poole will share the latest research on this spectacular bird. \nPresenter Bio: \nAn ornithologist with training at Princeton\, Yale\, and Woods Hole\, Alan Poole has had a long career in the worlds of research and publishing. He is an Associate of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\, a Fellow of the American Ornithological Society\, and the recently retired editor of the Birds of North America (BNA) – an 18 volume\, 18\,000 page life history series now online at Cornell. In addition to editing\, Alan has spent over 40 years in studies of coastal birds\, particularly Ospreys\, and completed his 2 nd book on that species (Ospreys: the revival of a global raptor; Johns Hopkins University Press) in 2019. His new book about the Resplendent Quetzal\, a Neotropical cloud forest beauty\, was published by Cornell/Zona Tropical in October 2023. \nRegister here if you plan to join the presentation virtually.
