Description

Ornithology is the study of birds. This course will explore the complex biology of birds, evolution, functional morphology, physiology, ecology and behavior. Field, museum and laboratory activities emphasize particular aspects of morphology, ecology and behavior, as well as taxonomy and identification alongside native Massachusetts species. The goal for this course is to build a foundation of knowledge about birds in a way that will stimulate you to keep learning about them for the rest of your life through lecture, laboratory and field time. The course will focus primarily on the behavior, ecology and evolution of birds and the development of field skills.
