Next Monday, September 13, at 7:30 pm will be the first monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club this fall. Register online for Zoom Meeting Dan Baldassarre, Assistant Professor and Provost Teaching Fellow at SUNY Oswego, will give his presentation "Northern Cardinal Urban Ecology". Humans dominate the global landscape, so we need to understand how our activity affects wildlife. In this talk, Dan will give a general overview of how urban living affects the visual and vocal communication of Northern Cardinals. Does living in the city cause cardinals to change colors? Does dealing with urban noise cause them to change their singing behavior? Tune in to the talk to find out! As Assistant Professor and Provost Teaching Fellow at SUNY Oswego, Dan Baldasarre teaches and leads undergraduate research on the evolution and behavior of birds. He and his students study the effects of urbanization on Northern Cardinals. He received his BS from Syracuse University, where he studied fish. Thankfully, he saw the light and made the switch to birds. He received a PhD from Cornell University studying Australian fairywrens, and did postdoctoral research at University of Miami and Princeton University studying vampire finches and Phainopeplas. When not doing bird things, he can usually be found playing with his five-month-old son or watching the Boston Red Sox. Cayuga Bird Club meetings start at 7:30pm on the second Monday of each month, September through June, and are open to the public. Each virtual meeting will begin with the speaker's presentation, followed by club business. Colleen RichardsCorresponding SecretaryCayuga Bird Club
