Have you ever wondered what a secondary feather is, what a wishbone or a gizzard is for, how an eggshell is made, or why birds don't have teeth? Join us for a webinar on May 20 with Dr. Kathleen Hunt (Smithsonian-Mason School of Conservation) who will explain how a bird's body is put together and how it all works. Dr. Hunt will go over the visible features that are useful for birding identification, and then take a peek inside at some ingenious internal features like the lightweight skeleton and the avian air sac system. By the end of the class you may be envious of the birds’ design! Kathleen E. Hunt, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor at George Mason University. She is a physiologist and endocrinologist with a strong interest in applied conservation physiology. $15 for members; $25 for non-members. Learn more here ([link removed]) .
