From singing to swimming, from incredible powers of sight and hearing to the extraordinary ability to soar through the sky, birds are amazing.  But how do they achieve these incredible feats? Join us for a closer look at the bird body and the physical adaptations that allow birds to migrate great distances, navigate through the night sky, and return to the same wintering and breeding grounds each year.  Study beaks and feet and their connections to diet and levels of mobility. Take a closer look at the bird eye and its powers of sight. Examine feather structure and the properties of flight that make birds some of the most beautiful things in nature.  Gain a deeper understanding of how adaptations help a bird survive in its ecosystem and affect its conservation status.
