- **Event Name**: Free Hybrid Lecture Event: New Perspectives in Ornithology
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 19 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Ornithology—the science of birds—is experiencing a renaissance. Today, a new generation of tools is transforming how we study birds—from global citizen-science platforms such as eBird to satellite remote sensing and drone-based fieldwork. 

New Perspectives in Ornithology: 21st Century Dispatches across the World of Birds (Oxford University Press, 2026) reveals how these technologies are reshaping our understanding of bird life and the challenges birds face in a rapidly changing world. 

Volume editors Scott Edwards, Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology, Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology; Curator of Ornithology, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard  and Michael Reed, Professor of Biology, Tufts University, will introduce the book’s key themes including bird ecology, evolution, behavior, citizen science, and conservation. 

Book contributors Jingmai O’Connor, Associate Curator of Fossil Reptiles, Field Museum of Natural History and Elizabeth P. Derryberry, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Tennessee, Knoxville will then address how fossils are enhancing our understanding of bird evolution and how novel studies of bird songs are providing insights into how birds communicate and respond to environmental change.

Copies of New Perspectives in Ornithology will be available for purchase and signing following the program. 

Free parking is available at the 52 Oxford Street Garage starting at 5 pm. Advance registration is recommended: https://tinyurl.com/NewPerspectivesOrnithology
