Title of Program:  Amazing Abilities of Birds 

Join Sally Brockett to discover the amazing abilities of birds.  We will explore topics like memory, camouflage, protection of young, creative nest building and other amazing feats.

Sally Brockett  began identifying birds in the early 1970s simply as a fun hobby. As her list of “life” birds grew, interest in finding some uncommon and rare birds increased. Of course, this meant traveling to new areas to find birds that are not local to our region. It does become increasingly difficult to find new birds as her life list gets longer. After a recent trip to Texas for spring migration, she now has over 500 of the North American birds. There are about 650 in the field identification guidebook. But it is the behaviors of birds that are of real interest.
