The session will be held via Zoom on Thursday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m. (Easrern time), and features UT Arboretum education coordinator Michelle Campanis and naturalist-author Stephen Lyn Bales.
Nighthawks, for instance, are not hawks but members of the nightjar family, and loggerhead shrikes are fierce songbirds known for killing prey and abandoning them impaled on spikes. Other “odd birds” include crossbills, cuckoos, yellowhammers, and short-eared owls.
The First Thursday Supper Club presentation is free, but registration is required to receive the link and program recording. To register, visit utarboretumsociety.org. Closed captions will be available.
