Ornithology is the Scientific Study of Birds.

This show was recorded on the veranda of a 130+ year old
Victorian home near the salt marshes on the southern coast of
Georgia. Featuring, Tim Keyes, an ornithologist and
wildlife biologist for the Georgia Department of Natural
Resources. Tim's focus is coastal non-game birds. 


Tim will elaborate deeply on how dinosaurs evolved into
birds, physiological aspects of birds in terms of why they are
able to fly & sometimes swim underwater. Tim talks
about eggs & their various shapes and colors in terms of how
they differ from species to species and why. In
addition, Tim talks about bird's eye sight, feather
makeup & we take an in depth look at massive migration and
how birds are able to fly across oceans without stopping to
destinations they have never been to before.


Did you know that birds use celestial navigation? The knowledge
embedded in this show will blow your mind.
