Our ability to identify birds by sight has grown dramatically since the early 20th century. Meanwhile, technical advances in optics and photography continue to change the way we see birds. Joe Morlan will present a history of bird identification, starting with early pioneers like Ludlow Griscom and continuing with a personal look at how birding and bird identification have changed over the decades. What will future generations think of our own conventional wisdom about bird identification and distribution? Join us for this entertaining and thought-provoking presentation.
