A Very Big California Year
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at First Unitarian Universalist Church & Center
(see times)
Curtis Marantz spent 2014 crisscrossing California in an attempt to find as many species as possible during a one-year period. He ultimately found 485 - including every species that now breeds regularly in the state - and broke the previous record of 481 set in 1996 by Vernon Howe. Curtis will give an overview of how he set this new record, including stories about the birds seen (or missed!) while driving 40,000 miles in a single year. He'll show photos of the more unusual species.
Curtis Marantz received an M.S. in biology from Louisiana St. Univ. and a Ph.D. from the Univ. of Massachusetts. His research examined vocal variation in woodcreepers, a family that occurs only in Neotropics.
