Tubac nature center speaker series

April 2026 presentation

"The Geometry of Birding", Peg Abbott, Naturalist Journeys. Wednesday April 8, 2:00-3:30 p.m. -- Tubac Community Center, 50 Bridge Rd.

If birding is your lifelong passion, or even just an enjoyable hobby, you know that it grows with a stairstep progression of acquired skills. Sometimes you level out in ability and get frustrated. Peg Abbott of Naturalist Journeys presents a skill session aimed to help you with a new perspective. Within each bird there is a ruler or other tools related to shape that can help you unlock its ID. Learn how the basics of geometry – points, lines, angles, and planes – come together to create shapes. And how comparing the relative proportions of these shapes within a single bird, or between birds in a group or flock, can help you gain that next level to empower your birding skills and passion to grow.

Peg Abbott is a prominent naturalist, tour leader, and the founder/owner of Naturalist Journeys, a specialized eco-tourism company launched in 1998. With over 30 years of experience, including 17 years with the National Audubon Society, she designs and guides birding and nature tours globally. She is based in Portal, Arizona.
