Roger Pasquier at the Ripley Waterfowl ConservancyBirds at Rest

Everybody enjoys watching birds during the daytime, but what do they do at night, when they seem to disappear?  Birds need sleep as much as we do, and they have evolved unique sleep habits to match their intensely energetic lifestyle.  Instead of long stretches of obliviousness, they sleep in short bouts of several seconds or a few minutes, waking up to look around for danger, and then going back to sleep. Please join the Ripley Waterfowl Conservancy in welcoming Roger Pasquier, author of Birds at Rest.
