I had the pleasure of hearing Laman and Scholes give their first presentation in DC. back in November (I think it was November.)
I thought their talk and the exhibit at the National Geographic Museum were far superior to the actual National Geo video.
The video does not even mention putting ear wax on the tree before you climb it!

Folks,
I work for NatGeo, and noticed by popular demand they are repeating the live event "Birds of Paradise: Extreme, Bizarre, Extraordinary". If you haven't had a chance to hear Tim Laman and Ed Scholes speak in person about their adventures chasing pretty birds in New Guinea, you should try and make the trip to DC. These guys have worked together a long time, and have developed a charming way of telling each other's stories as opposed to talking about themselves. It's also a treat to see their beautiful photographs via the top-notch audiovisual system in Grosvenor Auditorium.

The museum exhibit will be open until May 12.
Cheers,
