I Am An...Ornithologist
Detailed Description
Welcome to the “I Am A..." series, a whiteboard animation video series highlighting USGS careers. The concept is to show "what society (or my mom) thinks I do" compared with "what I really do." One image captures a more whimsical representation of a "scientist" in a particular field and the second demonstrates a more accurate representation of what that professional really “looks” like at work.
This video is about an ornithologist (i.e. someone who studies birds).
Ornithologist:
ornith- = “bird”
-ology = “study of”
-ist = “person”
(i.e. “studier of birds”)
