Our 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
