Below the Rim Monthly Program | Evolution of Birds

What is a bird? An evolutionary perspective on the first ‘birds’.

Birds are the most species-rich clade of any vertebrate on land, and this speaks to their success as the last dinosaurs on Earth. But at what point does a dinosaur stop being a dinosaur and start being a bird? Does it ever stop being a dinosaur? And why did they survive when the other dinosaurs died out? Come hear Zeke speak about the beginning of birds at the Camp Verde Library.

Make a day of it and bird before at Rezzonico Park with our Big Sit. For more information about the Big Sit click here.
