Plumage Color and Birds of Prey
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at First Unitarian Universalist Church & Center
(see times)
Birds of prey display highly varied color and patterns of plumage. From Gyrfalcons in the Arctic to Black Sparrowhawks in Africa, diversification in plumage is a common feature for many hawks, falcons, and owls. Come explore the range of plumage variation across these groups, delve into research on color variability in raptors, and learn about local highly variable species.
Golden Gate Audubon features Elizabeth Wommack, Staff Curator and Manager of Vertebrates for the University of Wyoming Museum of Vertebrates. She received her PhD at U.C. Berkeley, where she wrote her dissertation on the range and use of plumage variation in the American Kestrel.
