Atlanta Conference Program

Conference Resources
NSTA Mobile Website
We invite you to visit the NSTA Mobile
Website, m.nsta.org, the best way to keep
track of what’s happening at the conference
from your phone. It features a slimmeddown
version of our popular session browser
tool, allowing you to view sessions by
Date/Time, Session Format, Subject, and
Keyword, and to evaluate those you have
attended. The site also includes a map of
Atlanta with bookmarks for the conference
hotels and GWCC, a link to the #nsta
Twitter feed, NSTA news, and other important
info. Please note that the site has
been optimized for use with iPhone and
Android devices.
If you have a barcode reader installed on
your phone, point your phone’s camera at
the image in the ad below to go directly to
the NSTA mobile site.
We welcome your feedback about the
conference mobile website. (Note: This is
not an app; it is a website optimized for
viewing on phones.)

The remaining land-birds form a
most singular group of finches, related to
each other in the structure of their beaks,
short tails, form of body and plumage:
there are thirteen species, which Mr.
Gould has divided into four subgroups.
All these species are peculiar to this
archipelago; and so is the whole group,
with the exception of one species of the
sub-group Cactornis, lately brought from
Bow Island, in the Low Archipelago.
Of Cactornis, the two species may be
often seen climbing about the flowers of
the great cactus-trees; but all the other
species of this group of finches, mingled
together in flocks, feed on the dry and
sterile ground of the lower districts. The
males of all, or certainly of the greater
number, are jet black; and the females
(with perhaps one or two exceptions) are
brown. Fig. 2, there are no less than six
species with insensibly graduated beaks.
