Birds of the Ancient & Modern Maya
Friday, March 09, 2012, 07:30pm - 09:00pm

Birds have played important roles in Mesoamerican cultures for thousands of years. Rob Fergus will present a program titled, “Birds of the Ancient & Modern Maya,” in which he explores the connections between birds and various Mayan cultures as revealed in their ancient art and his ongoing field work with seven Mayan communities in Guatemala and Belize. If you want to know how the Turkey Vulture got its red head, which bird you can burn to a crisp to make a love potion, or how to use birds to cure warts or asthma, this is the program for you! Dr. Fergus currently teaches geography and earth sciences courses at Rowan University in New Jersey.
