This Monday, 7:30 PM in the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Auditorium: "Drama at the Bird Feeders: Exploring WInter Bird Communities" David Bonter, Assistant Director of Citizen Science Project Feederwatch Leader Cornell Lab of Ornithology
(check out the flyer online!<http://bit.ly/BonterOct31>) Ever wonder what the birds that come to your feeders do when you’re not watching? Using passive integrated transponders (PIT tags) to follow individual birds, David and his colleagues are tracking the feeding behavior of birds in local woodlots around Ithaca. David will explain how feeding behaviors change throughout the day and across the seasons. You’ll also hear about current research exploring how birds respond to new food sources and how social status in winter flocks affects feeding. Hope to see you here! Doors open at 7:00. charles. ****************************************** Charles Eldermire Public Education Outreach Associate Manager, Sapsucker Woods & Johnson Visitors' Center Cornell Lab of Ornithology 159 Sapsucker Woods Rd.
