Get warm just thinking about the tropics! Hope to see you here :) MONDAY NIGHT SEMINAR, 5 March, 7:30-9:00
"More than the Birds of Paradise: The natural history and distributional ecology of the New Guinean avifauna" New Guinea is justly famous for the birds of paradise, the most extravagantly-plumaged birds on Earth. But the world's largest tropical island is also home to a fascinating array of other bird lineages, from nocturnal kingfishers to honeyeaters that blush and poisonous pitohuis. Join Ben and Alexa as they share the results of two years of fieldwork in Papua New Guinea, introducing the splendid natural history of the New Guinean avifauna and describing the challenges and joys of conducting fieldwork in this remote region. And don't worry; they will share their photographs and stories of birds of paradise as well!
