BIRD SHIFT: THE ANTHROPOGENIC ORNITHOLOGY OF NORTH AMERICA |
| This new series of projects by the SRNE investigates birds that have gone extinct and birds that have been successfully introduced into North America by humans since European colonization. We are investigating this evolving phenomenon through a series of exhibitions and projects at sites across the continent. Two regional-specific projects have been finished to date: "The New Birds of New Harmony" in southern Indiana, and "The New Birds of Long Island" in New York. Work is currently beign done for two new sites: Boulder, CO and Philidelphia, PA. Please look for announcements about these upcoming projects. This website is still being developed, please check back frequently to see it evolve as the "Bird Shift" program expands to cities across North America. Please direct any questions to bdcollier@societyrne.net. |
