Good morning! For the second year, the Montezuma Audubon Center is happy to host a virtual presentation led by Matthew Young, President and Founder of the Finch Research Network (FiRN)<https://finchnetwork.org/>. Matt has an extensive background in ornithology. He is a former editor of The Kingbird (NYS Ornithological Association journal), an audio engineer at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Macaulay Library, and is currently an instructor of ornithology at Cornell University. We'll explore winter irruptive birds from Common Redpolls to Evening Grosbeaks, to the distribution and ecology of different Red Crossbill flight calls. Proceeds from this virtual program will benefit both FiRN and the MAC.
