Evolution of Birds with John Potente
Wednesday, February 28, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
In recent decades, we’ve learned that birds are actually the one surviving branch of the dinosaurs that dominated earth for hundreds of millions of years. How did we get from dinosaurs to chickadees, eagles, and birds of paradise? John Potente is a legend among Long Island nature lovers for his passion, his engaging presentations, and his wonder at the powers of nature. John has taken a deep dive into a study of the evolution of our winged friends and he’ll share what he’s learned with you.
Participants can also experience an art workshop to explore different bird features and shapes to create a unique bird for a specific habitat.
