Next meeting Jan. 2, 7 p.m. @ Sandy Creek Nature Center: Screening of the Ordinary Extraordinary Junco

Juncos have arrived in Athens as they ordinarily do every year. But did you know that the Dark-eyed Junco has been used a study species to reveal some of the most important ornithological discoveries in history?
 
Juncos exhibit extremely high diversity in coloration, size, and shape across North America and five distinct races exist in the United States of America. Researchers at Indiana University began studying Juncos decades ago and have learned a tremendous amount about these not-so-ordinary creatures.
 
Join us on January 2 for a viewing of the documentary film project, The Ordinary Extraordinary Junco, to learn more about this fascinating species. You will never look at a Junco the same way again.
