Birds of Paradise: Amazing Avian Evolution

By Linda Rowan and Mick Jeitner

Are you looking for something to do this summer?  Take a trip to see the special exhibit at the Academy of Natural Sciences,Birds of Paradise: Amazing Avian Evolution. The exhibit continues until Sept. 1, 2014. This special exhibit is based on the groundbreaking research of photographer Tim Laman and Cornell ornithologist Edwin Scholes in the remote rainforests of New Guinea.  Not only will you learn about the Birds of Paradise, you will learn how the research was conducted.
If you like to travel to see birds, this exhibit may make you want to plan a trip to New Guinea.  I do not think we will be going any time soon, but this exhibit enabled us to take a virtual trip that was very satisfying.  Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the Birds of Paradise.
