Hi everyone — Today we have a very loose theme — birds of the past. We’ll start out with a video about the very earliest birds….
And then one about the origins of field identification and birding
Then a couple of videos showing human interaction with birds in the 1930s and even earlier.
A look behind the scenes at the enormous collection of birds at a major research museum.
A little bit about possible bringing birds of the past back to present.
Some fanciful bird cartoons from the 1930s (I love 1930s era film, including cartoons).
this one is a bit weirder than most
Birding satire from the Beverly Hillbillies
And this was very unexpected!
As always feel free to talk about anything birdy in the comments.
