The Cayuga Bird Club is pleased to welcome Daniel Baldasarre, a Ph.D. candidate at Cornell, as guest speaker at our monthly meeting on Monday, September 13 at 7:30 pm at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. His presentation will be Sexual Selection and Speciation in the Red-backed Fairy-wren (Malurus melanocephalus) of Australia. The question of how species originate has been at the center of evolutionary biology ever since Darwin's The Origin of Species. Dan will discuss his research and describe the natural history of this fairywren.
The Club will be hosting Dan for dinner at Taste of Thai Express (downtown on Rt.13N ) at 5:30 pm prior to the meeting. This is a great opportunity for members to meet Dan in a casual setting and socialize with other members while enjoying some great food. The more, the merrier. If you would like to join us for dinner, please rsvp to cl...@juno.com by Sunday evening so that reservations can be made. Enjoy the birding this weekend - and a big cheer for all the teams up at the Montezuma Muckrace!!
