Hello Cayugabirders! If you've ever wondered what the finches that inspired Darwin looked like, stop by the Lab sometime in the next week and check out the display cases. We have a selection of finches from the Galapagos on display as part of Darwin Days here at the Lab. We're also hosting an event this Saturday from 11-3 with family friendly activities that explore bird beaks (including making movable beaks out of paper and trying out different kinds of beaks for foraging) and give you the chance to isolate DNA. More information here: <http://bit.ly/aLcpTU>
Also-I wanted to plug this coming Monday's seminar speaker Rick Prum, and his talk entitled "Charles Darwin and the Evolution of Beauty". Check out the details here <http://bit.ly/b15NjZ> Hope to see you here! charles. ****************************************** Charles Eldermire Public Education Outreach Associate Manager, Sapsucker Woods & Johnson Visitors' Center Cornell Lab of Ornithology 159 Sapsucker Woods Rd.
