SUMMARY:Webinar: Birds Up Close: An Engineer Explores Their Hidden Wonders
DESCRIPTION:The book Birds Up Close: An Engineer Explores Their Hidden Wonders reveals the marvel of how birds work—from the tips of their beaks to the sheen of their tail feathers. Consider feathers: They define birds’ wings\, enabling flight. They insulate against cold. They repel water. They even control sound. And how feathers work is just one aspect of the wonders of birds explained by MIT engineering professor and lifelong birder Lorna Gibson in Birds Up Close. \nFeathers\, bones\, bills\, eggs\, flight: all come in for scrutiny in this engaging book. What produces the iridescence of plumage? How does the internal structure of a bird’s bones make them lightweight? How do different birds use their bills and tongues—from woodpeckers penetrating the holes they drill to hummingbirds imbibing nectar\, to sandpipers needling the sand\, and to phalaropes drawing water droplets containing plankton into their mouths without sucking (no lips!)? What controls the shape of eggs? How do birds fly? \nIntrigued? Join us on 10/20 to learn more \nTo register you must be a BBC member.

SUMMARY:Pelagic Webinar: Pinch me! …. Did We Just Discover a New Species?!
DESCRIPTION:On November 19 at 7PM please join us to hear from Alvaro Jaramillo\, about the discovery of new species of seabirds. \n\n\n\nSeabirds are some of the most common and widespread species of birds in the world. On the other hand\, many of them breed on distant islands\, visiting their colonies at night\, often in treacherous waters. This is why many seabirds are so little known even today. While we learn more and more about all sorts of isolated tropical birds\, seabirds reveal their mysteries more slowly and painstakingly. \n\n\n\nOne of the most abundant seabirds\, one that is found on all oceans\, is the Wilson’s Storm-Petrel. Yet it is not what it seems. We may have underestimated what the old sailors called “Mother Carey’s Chickens.” A bird so well known to mariners that their walking-on-water behavior gave the name to all petrels (after St. Peter!)\, might not be so well known at all. \n\n\n\nAlvaro has been lucky to be involved in amazing discoveries of new nesting grounds\, and populations\, as well as some seemingly crazy goings on with Wilson’s Storm Petrels. Multiple publications scientists have described the new Pincoya Storm-Petrel and the Andean Storm-Petrel. Nesting grounds of some of these birds are now being located\, and this might be just the start. \n\n\n\nCome to hear stories about unraveling the multiple mysteries of New World storm-petrels. \n\n\n\nTo Register\n\n\n\nThis webinar is open to all. \n\n\n\nTo register with Zoom to join the webinar please use this link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_P0vI8VahQUeu4Y2FxZQ_VQ \n\n\n\nFor More Information
