Greetings All!

The Austin Butterfly Forum is now holding hybrid meetings with some
audiences at Zilker Botanical Gardens and some audiences out in Zoomlandia.

John Acorn graciously agreed to be this month's speaker! John hails from
Canada but is well known here in Texas as he was a regular featured speaker
at the annual Texas Butterfly Festival in southmost Texas.

Date: Monday 03-28-2022 at 7:00pm CST

Title: The Ways in which Butterflies Fly - Presented by John Acorn

Description: Butterflies don't just flutter, and birds don't merely flap.
They also hover, glide, soar, burst, stoop, and perform a remarkable suite
of additional flight styles, all in accordance with their sizes, shapes,
and situations. Join me for an explanation of bird and butterfly flight
that will focus on the different "modes" that these animals use while in
the air. I promise to go easy on the physics, and also to give you some
tips that might enhance your wildlife viewing experience, and encourage you
to make more use of that slow-motion setting on your camera or smartphone.

Bio: John Acorn is a biologist and naturalist, and he teaches at the
University of Alberta. John has been a lifelong resident of Edmonton, and
he is best known for his television series Acorn, The Nature Nut, and as
the author of some twenty books on natural history subjects.
