About Monthly Meetings
Each month from September through May, South Shore Audubon Society presents a nature-themed program. All are invited to attend; and there is absolutely no charge.
DATE: Tuesday, November 12, 2024 - IN-PERSON
TIME: 7:30 P.M.
PLACE: Freeport Memorial Library - 144 W. Merrick Rd. (at S. Ocean Ave.)
Speaker(s): Dr. Russell Burke
Topic: Galápagos Island Species: Why Naturalists’ Life Lists May Be Wrong
Unique species of the Galápagos Islands will be presented by Russell Burke, professor of biology at Hofstra University. Dr. Burke has visited the Galápagos Islands more than a dozen times.
The Galápagos Islands are famous for unusual animals and plants. Counting them all requires rethinking about what we mean by the term "species." A slideshow will provide an opportunity to admire the birds and reptiles of the Galápagos Islands. In discussion, we will see if we can agree on just what a species is.
Open to the public. Free of charge. Light refreshments served. No need to RSVP.
