Next Monday, May 8, will be our last regular monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club for this semester. [Note: In June, we normally have a picnic/bird walk. Look for details.] Speaker: Dan Ardia, Associate Professor, Franklin and MarshallCollege, Lancaster, PA; Dept. of Biology Presentation: From PA to Africa: Chickadees in Forest Fragments & House Sparrows in Africa Dan will discuss two projects likely to change how you watch local birds. The first looks at movement and survival of Carolina chickadees in forest fragments in central PA. Chickadees ten to fall into two categories: active birds that move from feeder to feeder and less active birds that spend more of their time at the same feeder. The second project studies how invasive house sparrows spread across Africa. Two field expeditions (Kenya and Senegal) reveal interesting differences in which birds are at the leading edge of the expansion and how they differ in behavior. Expect interesting pictures and videos and new perspectives on two common birds. The meeting will be held at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. Doors open at 7:00 pm and there will be cookies and conversation starting at 7:15. Bird club business begins at 7:30 pm followed by the presentation. All are welcome.Members are invited to join Dan Ardia for dinner at the Taste of Thai Express (Rt. 13N downtown) just before the meeting at 5:30 p.m. Please RSVP to Colleen Richards at cl...@juno.com by noon Monday so reservations can be made.Have a great weekend.
