Hello Cayugabirders! Don't miss this upcoming Monday's visit by Bridget Stutchbury featuring coffee and a book signing!
Monday, September 24, 2012: Bridget Stutchbury, professor of Biology at York University and author of “Silence of the Songbirds” and “The Private Lives of Birds," will be at three events at Cornell and at the Lab of Ornithology on Monday. We hope you'll join us for coffee-tasting and the latest info about songbirds and shade-grown coffee. Lecture, 2:00 p.m., Mann Library Room 102 "Saving Birds with Bird-Friendly Coffee" Dozens of species of migratory birds have experienced serious, long-term population declines that are driven in part by the threats that these birds face during migration while living in Central and South America. In her presentation, Dr. Bridget Stutchbury follows songbirds to their wintering grounds and back to understand what challenges they face along the way. She explains why so many species of our beloved songbirds are threatened by tropical deforestation and teaches us how we can make the world safer for songbirds by drinking bird-friendly, shade-grown coffee. Free Coffee-Tasting, 3:00 p.m., Mann Library Lobby Taste Birds & Beans coffee, an organic shade-grown, bird-friendly coffee. The tasting will be held from 3:00 to 4:00 in the Mann Library lobby while supplies last, following the 2:00-3:00 lecture in Mann Library 102, "Saving Birds with Bird-Friendly Coffee." Monday Night Seminar, 7:30 p.m., Cornell Lab of Ornithology Auditorium "Tracking Migratory Birds: Conservation and Bird-Friendly Coffee" Books will be available for purchase and signing, and Birds & Beans coffee will be available for tasting. Each fall, billions of songbirds leave North America on an epic journey to their faraway wintering grounds in Central and South America where many live in tropical forests shared by toucans, howler monkeys, and jaguars. Bridget Stutchbury will reveal her surprising migration tracking results for Purple Martins, Red-eyed Vireos, and Wood Thrushes and discuss how drinking bird-friendly shade-grown coffee can help us save songbirds. Dr. Stutchbury's book, “Silence of the Songbirds,” will be available for purchase and book signing. Free Birds & Beans coffee, an organic, shade-grown, bird-friendly coffee, will be available for tasting. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
