The information says:
Union Bay Natural Area hosts some 259 different species of birds, everything from the largest swans to the tiniest songbirds. Some of our birds are so dull they have almost no color at all, though their voices can be very sweet. Other birds croak like frogs but glisten like gems.
Where did this spectacular diversity come from? This class will introduce you to the latest discoveries of fossil birds and their ancestors, and the most current theories about how birds have evolved from the distant past.
