pOrnithology: The Birds and the Birds and the Bees by George Armistead The Wagner Free Institute of Science Where: 1700 West Montgomery Ave. Philadelphia, PA 19121 Date(s): Wednesday, February 13, 2013 — Wednesday, February 13, 2013 Hours: 5:30pm to 7:00pm Description: What does bird foreplay look like? We need only listen to the birdsong outside our window, glimpse a display of colorful feathers in the trees, or find an intricate nest in early spring. These courtship rituals, which come in many forms, serve to attract a mate for reproduction. Natural selection drives sexual dimorphism within bird species and shapes the tremendous diversity in appearance, song, and behavior between species. George Armistead will review the various, interesting reproductive strategies and associated unusual behaviors of birdsâalong with copious innuendo and anthropomorphism to keep the concepts in perspective. George Armistead is the Events Coordinator for the American Birding Association. Prior to that, he guided birding tours for ten years, leading trips to all seven continents. He is also a Research Associate at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. When not working on bird book projects, he spends his free time observing and photographing birds at his favorite haunts along the coast between Cape May, NJ, and Cape Hatteras, NC.
