Dear Readers,
Here is the new schedule. We thought we would send it out a little early to give you more time to read How Birds Evolve by Douglas J. Futuyuma, Futuyama describes how evolutionary science illuminates the wonders of birds, ranging over topics such as the meaning and origin of species, the evolutionary history of bird diversity, and the evolution of avian reproductive behaviors, plumage ornaments, and social behaviors. So much diversity that we marvel at every time we meet a new bird or learn more about a bird we already know!
We will again be meeting on the third Wednesday of each month at Hope Lutheran, Room 128 at 6:30 to 7:45 PM or virtually if you prefer.
Cheers, Hilary and Elisabeth
