Birding: A Lens on Nature

With tens of billions of birds on the planet and nearly 10,000 different avian species, there are few creatures more prevalent and worthy of a nature lover’s attention. Expedition Leader Arpita Dutta is here to inspire you with her passion for birds, and to show you why they are the perfect portal through which to appreciate the intricate wonders of the natural world. In this presentation, we’ll look at how birds differ dramatically depending on their habitat, why and how birds migrate with the seasons, why documenting their behavior provides insight into natural history, and how learning about birds can lend insight about other animals, too. Arpita will also discuss how climate change is affecting birds, and what the ramifications are. And, of course, find out how you can start birding! Learn where and how to watch birds—which inevitably means learning about an entire habitat and observing other wildlife within it, too. If you’ve never fancied yourself a “birder” before, you will by the time this webinar is done!
