One of the things we love most about birds is their wild array of plumage colors and patterns. Where does all that color come from? In this presentation, you’ll learn how pigments and microscopic structures in feathers create the kaleidoscope of beauty we find in the avian world.

Join us for our post-holiday gathering. Greg Butcher, ASNV Vice-President and Migratory Species Coordinator for the US Forest Service, will be our guest speaker. We’ll learn about waterfowl that visit our area in winter.

Join us as we welcome Leslie Ries and Elise Larson from the Ries Lab of Butterfly Informatics at Georgetown University. We’ll learn about their current research and get an update on ASNV’s citizen science surveys.
