The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates more than 45 million Americans are bird watchers. To learn more about birds we look to scientists and artists. Scientists search for facts while artists introduce visual and visceral components; both offer paths for the curious to learn. We will examine birds in nature and artwork including illustrations, murals, photography, sculpture and music. You will hear directly from artists in videos. Topics will include the Evolution of Field Guides, Nests and Eggs, Portraiture, Extinction and Species Recovery, and the role of art in advocacy for birds.
