TITLE: Frontiers in Avian: Exploration and Speciation Research on the Bird Continent

PRESENTER: Andre Moncrieff is a Ph. D. candidate at the Louisiana State University Museum of Natural Science. His interest in birding began at the age of 10 when he received his first bird book. Since then he has worked on avian research projects varying from nesting ecology of seabirds in Washington State, to feeding behavior of macaws in Peru, to the evolutionary processes behind speciation of birds in the Amazon Basin. Andre also has a passion for exploring and documenting avian diversity in the most remote areas of the Neotropics, where new species can still be found.

DESCRIPTION: Andre will take us on a walk through the history of bird species discovery in South America, highlighting the contributions of LSU researchers and discussing where new species might be found. We will also hear about the latest research being done at LSU on bird speciation. Expect lots of photographs of colorful birds and stories of discovery!

Please note that we will have a hybrid meeting again this month. We will meet in person at the Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center education building 10533 N. Glenstone Place, Baton Rouge, LA 70810. Note that this is NOT the main entrance to Bluebonnet Swamp; it's one street south on the right. The education building is located at the back of the loop. There is a large mural on the building.

You are welcome to join us from home for the Zoom session, but you must register in advance at the link given above.
