SUMMARY:Online Scientist Talk | Dr. Jay Jinsing Falk : The Bird Book
DESCRIPTION:Join scientist Dr. Jay Jinsing Falk as he delves into the fascinating world of birds through astonishing photography and clear explanations in this absorbing global guide\, The Bird Book: The Stories\, Science\, and History of Birds. Birds are dinosaurs with a history going back millions of years. Our fascination with them runs deep in history\, and our close association is reflected in creation stories\, myths\, legends\, songs\, and children’s stories. This book and presentation explores:\n• Both the natural history of birds and that deep cultural connection. From their evolution and anatomy to their behavior and diversity.\n• Hawks\, finches\, swans\, or birds of paradise\, moving the focus away from a predictable species-by-species account and allowing for truly global coverage.\n•The bold nature of European Robins and why they are associated with Christmas; the mythical Phoenix\, which rises from the ashes; and learn about eagles\, from their hunting prowess to their myriads of stories and symbolism.\nPacked with information\, beautiful photography\, and illustrations\, The Bird Book is a must-have for nature enthusiasts. Register today to learn more about your very own backyard friends! \nYou can register for this free\, live\, online talk here.\nThis is one of a series of free\, live-streamed author talks made possible through the Library’s partnership with Library Speakers Consortium (LSC). You can learn more about upcoming presentations on our LSC microsite\, as well as watch recordings of presentations that you were unable to attend live. \nAbout the Presenter: Dr. Jay Jinsing Falk is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and the University of Colorado. He is an evolutionary biologist and behavioral ecologist fascinated by the diversity that can be found within species. After completing his PhD at Cornell University\, he moved to the University of Washington to study hummingbird movement and metabolism. Now at the University of Colorado\, he is investigating the genetics and development of feather coloration. Jay currently lives in Gamboa\, Panamá\, where he studies the hummingbirds that visit the feeders at his house on the edge of the forest.
