The community is invited to learn about dozens of the most remarkable birds to be found on our infinitely diverse planet. On Wednesday, August 14 at 10:30 am, bird species from all seven continents will be discussed. Enjoy this hour of color and unconventionality, and leave knowing you share the planet with these special, spectacular species.
