Greetings, birders,
Aiken Audubon invites you to join us for this Wednesdays presentation by
Ivan Phillipsen on the adaptations of desert birds. Please join us!
*AIKEN AUDUBON MONTHLY MEETINGWednesday, April 16 at 6:30 pmOur April
Monthly Meeting is proudly sponsored by Birding Man Adventures*
Join us this month, along with Ivan Phillipsen, for a fascinating
presentation on the remarkable adaptations of desert birds - some of the
toughest and most resilient avian species on the planet. While deserts host
fewer bird species than almost any other habitat, the ones that thrive in
these environments are a fascinating bunch. They must endure extremes of
temperature - both hot and cold - as well as relentless winds, scarce food,
and very little water. From physiological tricks to behavioral strategies,
desert birds have found ingenious ways to carve out a living in the world’s
harshest landscapes.
Ivan is the host and the creator of The Science of Birds podcast. He is
also a professional birding guide with a background in scientific research.
Ivan has loved animals and nature his whole life. His first obsession was
with amphibians and reptiles. This interest led him to graduate school,
where he studied amphibians. After earning a Masters degree in Biology and
a PhD in Zoology, he did postdoctoral research on aquatic insects. Along
the way, his love of nature expanded to include plants, fungi, and all
animals, including birds. Birds have become Ivan’s greatest passion. He’s
an avid birder and co-
owns a birding ecotour company called Wild Latitudes. Some places where
Ivan leads natural history tours are Vietnam, Patagonia, Iceland, Alaska,
Australia, and Spain. He and his houseplants live in the wonderful city of
Portland, Oregon.
This is an in-person meeting held at the *BEAR CREEK NATURE CENTER*
