Teaching and Scholarship Hub

Curious about the birds you see on campus? Ever wanted to try birding? Please join the Faculty Hub, University Museums, and birding guides – Priscilla Erickson (Assistant Professor of Biology), Allison Cornell (Assistant Professor of Biology), and students from Dr. Cornell's Ornithology class – for a bird walk, followed by a tour of the exhibit, Shubigi Rao: All Our Elephants Are in Rooms.

We will meet at the trailhead of the Eco-Corridor at 8:30 a.m. (entrance off of UR Drive - see location via Google maps) and spend an hour learning about birding and identifying the types of birds we spot along the path. Participants should expect to walk about a mile on a paved pathway. Binoculars are encouraged, but not required. No birding experience necessary.

We’ll end our birding adventure at the Joel and Lila Harnett Museum of Art for refreshments and a tour of the exhibit, Shubigi Rao: All Our Elephants Are in Rooms – an exhibit that asks us to shift our "focus beyond human agency to explore how we make sense of the natural world..."

If you arrive after 8:30, you can find us along the eco-corridor path. (It's also okay if you'd like to skip the birding and just come for the museum exhibit!)
