He is an evolutionary biologist and behavioral ecologist fascinated by the diversity that can be found within species\, especially in sexual traits. During his PhD\, he began studying White-necked Jacobin hummingbirds as a STRI Short-Term Fellow\, and later as a Smithsonian Predoctoral Fellow. His findings\, that some females of this species look like males while others do not\, has become the cornerstone of his research program. He is inspired by the dizzying array of feather coloration that can be found in hummingbirds. After completing his PhD at Cornell University\, he moved to the University of Washington to study hummingbird movement and metabolism. Now at the University of Colorado\, he is investigating the genetics and development of feather coloration. Jay currently lives in Gamboa\, Panamá\, where he studies the hummingbirds that visit the feeders at his house on the edge of the forest. \n \nThis event is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Mountain View Library.  URL:https://events.splitbunch.com/event/the-stories-science-and-history-of-birds-with-smithsonian-biologist-jay-falk/ LOCATION:CA CATEGORIES:Mountain View Public Library END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250805T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250805T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T213432 CREATED:20250728T022550Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250728T022550Z UID:2012-1754391600-1754395200@events.splitbunch.com SUMMARY:Online Author Talk : Jay Falk DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, August 5\, 2025 Time: 11:00am – 12:00pm Location: Online \nRegister here and submit your questions for the author before the event begins. \nDelve into the fascinating world of birds through astonishing photography and clear explanations in this absorbing global guide\, The Bird Book: The Stories\, Science\, and History of Birds. \nBirds are dinosaurs with a history going back millions of years.
