Eight years of collaboration between Cornell Lab of Ornithology scientist Edwin Scholes and National Geographic photographer Tim Laman have lead them on 18 expeditions to document and photograph all 39 species of the birds-of-paradise for the first time ever. Their work gives people a glimpse into the behavior and habitat of the world’s most “extravagant, beautiful, and bizarre species of birds”.
The publications, exhibits and lectures where Tim and Ed will share the amazing footage, images, and sounds of these birds will kick off this Saturday at Cornell’s Statler Hall auditorium at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, October 13!
