About Lunch ‘n Learn: Amazing Behaviors of Common Birds...Join Cape Cod naturalist, Phil Kyle for his program, Amazing Behaviors of Common Birds.
Most people assume only exotic birds have amazing adaptions. However, feather color,
bill evolution, vision, feeding strategies, and more, make our common birds just as amazing! Each species of bird has a unique way of acting, moving, sitting, and flying. Behaviors to notice: posture, movement, flight patterns, and flocking. All this can be observed with or without binoculars by watching the bird for as long as it will let you. And, if you employ some patience, you can become used to the way a bird acts and possibly discover it doing something new!
Phil's mission has always been to inform people about the awesome wonder of the natural world. Since he retired in 2012 he has written a column on Birding for the Cape Cod Times Newspaper, presented for Libraries, Garden Clubs and Schools. Phil had also taught Biology and Anatomy/Physiology at the High School level, worked as a naturalist on Whale-watching boats for three summers, worked as the Head Naturalist at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History and Green Briar Nature Center; He was DIrector of Education, South Shore Natural Science Center; he has been an Interpretive Park Ranger for the Cape Cod National Seashore and has actively birded for over 40 years. He was a Bio Major and graduated from Cornell University. He now works summers on the Barnstable Harbor Ecotour pontoon boat as head naturalist and volunteers as a docent at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History winters.
