Bird Anatomy with Speaker Jenny Bouchenot

Join us for our last meeting of the 2025-2026 Season on Sunday, March 8th at 2pm.
Jenny Bouchenot, our speaker, will provide an overview of avian anatomy including feathers, bone structure, internal organs and muscles of birds through a lens of homology. Homology explains the similarity in anatomical structures between organisms of different taxa due to shared ancestry, regardless of current functional differences.

Jenny Bouchenot is a University of Central Florida Integrative and Conservation Biology PhD candidate. Her PhD dissertation research investigates pollutants in 23 species of Florida raptors. Jenny is a graduate teaching assistant for the comparative vertebrate anatomy dissection laboratory at UCF. She is a Florida Audubon CLI alumna and a founding officer of the Knighthawk Audubon campus chapter at UCF.
