A Trip to Avian Mars: The Weird and Wonderful Birds of Australia by Bruce Lyon

UC Santa Cruz professor Bruce Lyon shares a selection of photographs from a month-long visit to a field station/nature park near Melbourne in 2016. He covers some of the features that make Australia’s bird life different from most other places and presents natural history vignettes to give a sense of the diversity of birds and their behaviors and breeding systems that one might see in a typical temperate Australian woodland.
