Start Date: Thursday, February 9, 2012
Start Time: 7:30 PM

Description: Birds are exceptional in so many ways, their intelligence, migration, color, behavior and senses. Being able to see a mouse a mile away, migrating 40,000 miles in a year, remembering thousands of hiding places and many other feats, sets birds apart from all other living beings. Join Joe for an evening of biological investigation of the most amazing animals on Earth. Warning: you might find yourself embarrassed to be a mammal! Joe Mueller directs the Natural History Program at College of Marin. He has taught there for over 20 years. His subjects of particular interest include ornithology, ecology, marine biology and environmental science. Several MAS members have taken Joe's classes or been on field trips that he has led. Others know him as being the featured speaker at An Evening with Owls, the annual fundraiser of the Hungry Owl Project at WildCare. Prepare to learn and be entertained by this excellent teacher. Come early for cookies and conversation. (Photo by Richard Pavek)
