 will discuss the history of egg and nest collecting, from the era when eggs 
 and nests graced the parlors of the fashionable hobbyist and the menus of 
 restaurants, to their modern-day importance as repositories of DNA and 
 information about changes in the environment. Sharon Beals will present the 
 photographs of nests and eggs she made at CAS while working on Nests: Fifty 
 Nests and the Birds that Built Them. She will also share what she learned 
 as a citizen scientist about the habits of the nest builders and some of 
 the conservation issues facing these birds today.\n\nMoe Flannery received

 State University, studying the cospeciation between quill mites and their 
 bird hosts. Sharon Beals is an ardent environmentalist, photographer, and
