FREE and open to all! Join the Linnaean Society of New York for its 7pm, 12/8 Zoom presentation, “Birdsong for the Curious Naturalist,” by Donald Kroodsma, Ph.D.
Have you ever asked, “What bird is making that sound?” Once you are attuned to their song, every singing bird becomes interesting. From flycatcher to warbler, including even our common American Robins, they all have something to delight the listening ear. Dr. Donald Kroodsman, birdsong scientist and widely published author on the topic, we help us better understand and marvel in songs and calls, female song, song learning and dialects, mimicry, matched counter-singing and counter-calling, night singing, complex songs, repertoires, and dawn singing. Kroodsman’s most recent book (2020), Birdsong for the Curious Naturalist, is a basic, how-to guide that teaches anyone—from beginner to advanced birder—how to listen.
