SUMMARY:Proposed Name Changes to Birds
DESCRIPTION:John “Barny” Dunning is a Professor of Wildlife Ecology in the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources at Purdue. Join Barny as he presents a program about the upcoming proposed name changes for birds. The American Ornithological Society has proposed changing the common names of all birds that were named after specific people. This has been proposed as an action to make birding more welcoming and open to all people\, but has been criticized by many people. Barny will go over the reasoning why professional ornithologists have decided to take this step\, and give pros and cons on whether it should be done.

SUMMARY:April program: Birds of Austrailia
DESCRIPTION:It truly was a trip of a lifetime. Join Barb Jablonski and Laurie Voss as they share their unforgettable adventure “down under\,” exploring the stunning country and continent of Australia. \nAustralia is home to birds and mammals found nowhere else on Earth. We had hoped—but never truly expected—to see some of its most remarkable wildlife up close: the Southern Cassowary\, the duck-billed Platypus\, the critically endangered Orange-bellied Parrot\, Koalas\, Echidnas\, a Tree Kangaroo\, and more. \nFrom the beautiful beaches of Cairns to the Great Barrier Reef\, with memorable stops along the way to Tasmania\, Barb and Laurie will share photographs and stories they hope will inspire you to discover this extraordinary country and the birds and mammals that call it home.
