The featured speaker for the Monday, February 24 meeting of DFO will be Diana Tomback, Professor in the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Colorado Denver. Her fascinating research topic, the Corvids-crows, ravens, magpies, jays, nutcrackers-are well known for being among the most intelligent of birds, incredible problem solvers, and many of the species that store food for future use have remarkable spatial memories.
Several corvids are responsible for the regeneration of many widespread temperate zone coniferous and deciduous forest trees. They shape forest distribution and composition, and provide us with important ecosystem services through their nut and seed caching behavior. Don't miss this fascinating topic with photos from Colorado to Siberia on Monday, February 24! The DFO meeting is in the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Ricketson Auditorium. Enter through the west door by 7:30 p.m. We must lock the door a little after that time. Kay Niyo, DFO Editor Kayleen A.
