Winter Birding Series: The Evolutionary Story of Birds

Have you ever wondered why a bird is the way it is? Upon reflection, they’re an extremely unique animal with an entire list of superpowers. How did they come to dominate our skies, and more importantly, where did they start? And after all that, what do dinosaurs have to do with it? Join us to trace the full story of birds over a history spanning millions of years.

The Winter Birding Series is hosted by TRCA’s Bander-in-Charge and ornithologist, Shane Abernethy. Shane has eight years of ornithological experience and four years of banding at the Tommy Thompson Park Bird Research Station. He also produces the popular Feathered Friday series via TRCA Instagram.

This is a seated talk, taking place indoors at the Tommy Thompson Park Nature Centre.

Don’t forget to bring your travel mugs for complimentary coffee or hot chocolate!
