Discover the Extraordinary World of Avian Life
The Friends of Parker River National Wildlife Refuge are thrilled to welcome back Bill Gette for another of his highly anticipated and informative lectures: Amazing Birds!.
Birds possess the greatest diversity in form and behavior of any group of terrestrial vertebrates. They are an endlessly exciting group of animals, constantly surprising us with their evolutionary adaptations. For instance:
Did you know that in the fall, Bar-tailed Godwits migrate over 8,000 miles nonstop?
Did you know that Oilbirds feed at night and use echolocation—just like a bat—to navigate and find food?
