Attention Birding Enthusiasts!
Join Naturalist and Ornithologist Bruce Beehler for an illustrated lecture recounting his hundred day-long 2015 field trip following the spring migration of songbirds from the coast of southeastern Texas up the Mississippi and then into the boreal forests of northern Ontario.
Bruce Beehler is a naturalist, ornithologist, and conservationist—currently a Research Associate in the Division of Birds at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution.
He has spent much of his scientific career studying and working to conserve birds and their forest habitats. After conducting doctoral fieldwork in Papua New Guinea, Beehler worked for ten years at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, followed by stints at the Wildlife Conservation Society, U.S. Department of State, Counterpart International, Conservation International, and the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation.
Beehler is an elective Fellow of the American Ornithologists Union, and has served on the boards of the American Bird Conservancy (ABC), RARE, the Livingston-Ripley Waterfowl Conservancy, and the Rainforest Trust.
He has published ten books and authored scores of technical and popular articles about birds and nature. In 2007, Beehler was featured in a 60-Minutes piece highlighting an expedition he led to the Foja Mountains in the interior of New Guinea in which scores of new species of plants and animals were discovered.
Today, Beehler carries out natural history exploration and field research focused mainly on wildlife and natural places in the USA.
