Secret Garden Birds and Bees will share some of the amazing things we’ve learned about raptor adaptations – from vision and hearing to beaks and talons.
Liz Dennison will join us to talk about what rehabbers actually do to help injured or sick birds recover, how they give orphaned raptors the best chance of survival in the wild, some of the more interesting cases they’ve seen, and the physical and emotional toll of being a rehabber.

Join Douglas Futuyma, Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at Stony Brook University, for a presentation on how birds evolved and continue to evolve.
Urban environments are among the most highly modified habitats on the planet. Dr. David Luther’s research has focused on how human activity has modified habitats and altered ecological processes around the world.
Join us as we’ll learn how birds stay warm in cold weather and extreme elevations. Dr. Sahas Barve is an avian evolutionary ecologist and currently a Peter Buck Fellow at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History where he studies how birds stay warm in the high Himalayas.
Dr. Amanda Gallinat is an ecologist who studies how environmental change affects plants, birds and their interactions. Her recent research focuses on the effects of climate change on the timing of seasonal biological events in the northeast.
