BIOL 250 : NEOTROPICAL ORNITHOLOGY (I)

Study abroad. Neotropical ornithology introduces the diversity of birds, their scientific study, and conservation in both tropical and temperate settings. We visit the tropics during spring break and study migratory species in Virginia during a week of May Term. Differences between resident and migratory tropical birds introduce the concept of bias in our perception. Students achieve a solid foundation in bird biology, ecology, and behavior. Alternate years, May Term.
