SUMMARY:Birds! Exhibit Event - Birds\, Bats & Bugs: The Underlying Unity of Flight Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Birds\, Bats & Bugs: The Underlying Unity of Flight\, Richard Fichera.  \nRichard’s background spans 50 years in the computer industry with strong interests in a number of related technical fields and an undergraduate engineering\, math and science background at UC Berkeley. His interest in birds began about 7 years ago when he retired and immediately took the Cornell Bird Biology course. \nRichard’s curiosity about avian flight was piqued when he attended a lecture at Joppa Flats in Newburyport where a statement was made that bats use a different mechanism than birds to fly and somehow “swim” through the air. Richard dug into this topic using his technical background to explore animal flight mechanics\, and developed this presentation both as a way to educate himself and share his learning with others.  \nJoin us at Fivesparks during the Birds! Exhibit to learn about flight from Richard\, member of the Boxborough Birders.  \nThis lecture is FREE for all to attend.  Friday\, May 8\, 7pm.  \nThe Birds! curated art exhibit as well as the corresponding bird-related events and programs were planned in partnership with the Boxborough Birders Group.
