UT Arboretum Society: The Odd Birds in our Midst
Category: Science, nature and Virtual
“The Odd Birds in Our Midst,” A Virtual Program on November 7 at 7:00 PM,
sponsored by the UT Arboretum Society.
Nighthawks are not actually hawks but part of the nightjar family of
birds. They are odd birds like crossbills, cuckoos, yellowhammers, and
owls with short ears. Loggerhead shrikes are killers, fierce songbirds that
kill then abandon their victims impaled on spikes.
Join UT Arboretum education coordinator, Michelle Campanis, and
naturalist/author, Stephen Lyn Bales, via Zoom for "The Odd Birds in Our
Midst" to learn more why these common birds aren’t so common. The November First Thursday Supper Club presentation is hosted by the UT Arboretum Society.
The program is free, but registration is required to receive your Zoom
link and the recording. The program will be recorded and sent to all who
register. Register at www.utarboretumsociety.org under Programs. Closed
captions are available. Please contact Michelle at mcampani@utk.edu for
any questions or registration issues.
