Evolution of Birds

Instructor: Bob Lewis and Bruce Mast

6

sessions on:  

  • Wednesdays

Venue: Zoom

A science-based course for curious adult learners who have some birding experience.

The focus is on avian evolution – including the scientists whose work has led to the modern theory of evolution, the evolutionary processes that have resulted in over 10,000 species of birds today, and the geological events that have been much of the cause of today’s avian multitude.  From dinosaurs in Pangea to mountains rising in California, we’ll cover 100 million years of the earth’s history, ending with California’s remarkable birdlife – all in six weeks. 

PDFs of the Powerpoint slides will be made available to the participants.

Recordings of the presentations will be available for participants to view .

  • Six Wednesday evening classes by Zoom, February 23; March 2, 9, 16, 23, 30: 7 to 9 pm
  • $90 for GGBA members, $120 for non-members

Once this class is full, you may sign up to be on a waiting list.

Registration opens: 12/10/2021

Limited to 95 participants
