This Sunday: Come out for our FREE Audubon Afternoon with Carla Dove!

Carla Dove

When: Sunday, January 22, 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM
Where: National Wildlife Federation Building, 11100 Wildlife Center Drive, Reston, VA 20190
Fee: FREE; registration is requested

Join us on Sunday afternoon for our semi-annual live Audubon Afternoon at the National Wildlife Federation, 11100 Wildlife Center Drive in Reston. We’ll gather informally starting at 2:30 so you have an opportunity to reconnect with everyone. We welcome any food and drink you would like to share with everyone during the informal portion of the program.

At 3 PM, we’ll have a presentation by Forensic Ornithologist Dr. Carla Dove, a scientist with the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Dr. Dove researches microscopic identification of feathers. Her current research involves establishing techniques in this newly developing field within Ornithology. Her research applies forensic methods to determine species of birds from fragmentary evidence using microscopy, whole feather comparisons with museum specimens, and DNA 'barcoding'. The Audubon Afternoon is free, and everyone is welcome to attend. Registration is requested, so that we have an idea of how many people will attend, but it is not required.
