the most extraordinary animals ever to inhabit Earth.
Giants such as Apatosaurus and Tyrannosaurus are giant
icons of a prehistoric world long gone. But scientists
have suspected that birds, once called "glorified
reptiles," are generally rooted<img src="cid:part1.07040202.08090208@whoi.edu" align="right" border="0" height="142" hspace="15" vspace="15" width="182"> among the dinosaurs. In
his talk, Professor John Kricher will present the most
recent evidence for the dinosaur-bird connection. Our
chickadees may be latter-day residents of Jurassic
Park! John Kricher is Professor of Biology at Wheaton
College in Norton, MA, who teaches courses in ecology,
ornithology and vertebrate evolution. He is a prolific
author who has conducted and published extensive
research on migrant bird populations, dinosaurs and
evolution. He has led trips all over the world and
lectures extensively for conservation and birding
organizations.</span> </span></p>
