The Gull Frolic is a unique winter event hosted by the Illinois Ornithological Society at Illinois’ premier gull-watching hotspot: North Point Marina. Quest Nature Tours' Director, Justin Peter is their guest speaker!
In this talk illustrated with photographs from his three expeditions there, Justin will help us get acquainted with some of these birds. We’ll see what they look like, how they behave and interact with fellow Galapagos denizens, as well as gain insights into their origins through some of the latest research findings stemming from decades of research. The Galapagos Islands are often touted as a laboratory of evolution by natural selection, and some of the archipelago’s birds are among the best-studied organisms anywhere!
