2025-12-11 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Chicago) | The University of North Texas Health & Science Center, Research and Education Building, Room 100, 3500 Camp Bowie Blvd., Fort Worth, TX, United States
Join us on Thursday, December 11th for our last General Meeting of 2025.
We will also be hosting a Special Activity tonight! Joy Havner suggested a Bird Shirt Showdown. Wear your best (G-rated please) bird shirt, Christmas themed if you have it. We want to see those shirts from those joining us virtually as well.
The program is The Nature of Arctic Birds, presented by Jean Iron. Arctic birds have a special attraction for birders and many are amongst our most sought-after species. In this presentation, Jean will take us north to the Arctic to look at birds whose exceptional endurance and lifestyle are determined by the relentless forces of nature. Physical adaptations of Arctic birds, their colour schemes, short breeding season, populations, and impressive migrations, including the swimming migration of Thick-billed Murres, are characteristics that Jean will highlight with photos.
This will be both a live in-person meeting with our speaker joinng us on Zoom.
Jean is a well-known Ontario birder. She was president of the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) for nine years and editor of its newsletter for 14. In 2016, she received the OFO Distinguished Ornithologist Award.
