In addition to the Monday Night Seminar, this Saturday (tomorrow!) is a special seminar on campus covering the spectacular topic of the Birds-of-Paradise: you won't want to miss it!
Hope to see you there. Birds-of-Paradise: An Evening of Field Research and Exploration Ed Scholes, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and Tim Laman, National Geographic Saturday, October 13, 2012, at 7:30 p.m. (Doors open at 7:00 p.m.) Statler Hall auditorium, Cornell University After 8 years and 18 expeditions to some of the most remote places on earth, Cornell Lab of Ornithology scientist Edwin Scholes and National Geographic photographer Tim Laman have documented and photographed all 39 species of the birds-of-paradise for the first time ever. The birds-of-paradise include some of the world's most extravagant, beautiful, and bizarre species. Tim and Ed will share the amazing footage, images, and sounds of these birds, along with the story of their quest in New Guinea to find all 39 species and to study how the birds' elaborate courtship displays evolved. This special presentation from National Geographic and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology will also feature John Francis, National Geographic Vice President of Research, Conservation, and Exploration.
