[cayugabirds-l] Lindsay-Parsons mystery song

[Suan Hsi Yong]

Lindsay-Parsons seems to harbor a lot of strange singers.

During the Spring Bird Quest on Saturday, May 27, I recorded the following
"ascending song", which starts around the 5-second mark in this clip:

  http://suan-yong.com/sound/lindsay-parsons-2017-05-27.wav

What do you think it is? This was recorded just as the trail first leaves
the forest, from a large maple tree at the forest/field edge.

I have a candidate answer (a silent bird observed in the same tree as the
singer, though the bird was never seen singing, nor was it ever seen at the
same time the song was sung). I'll divulge my candidate later.

E-mail me off-list with your thoughts and guesses.

Suan

PS. That short iPhone-recorded clip has quite the plethora of different
songs, more so that I think I was aware of at time of recording. How many
can you identify?

[cayugabirds-l] Bioacoustics site is up and check out the Red-eyed Vireo movie

[Chris R. Pelkie]

All of us in the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Bioacoustics Research Program 
(BRP) are pleased to share our new site with you all:

http://www.birds.cornell.edu/brp/

In particular, I think many of you in the CBC will enjoy this video that Russ 
put together (and which I tantalized Suan with a couple weeks ago).

The riddle to consider is whether the Red-eyed Vireo is making it up as he goes 
along or playing from memory.
What do you think, before you watch the video?

http://www.birds.cornell.edu/brp/education/

And if you bird Sapsucker Woods, you can help us analyze the soundscape:
http://www.birds.cornell.edu/brp/soundscapes/

as we are recording 24/7 using:
http://www.birds.cornell.edu/brp/swift/

Enjoy and send comments via the links at the site. Holger and Ashik did all the 
hard work to make it happen!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Stewart Park Osprey

[Elaina M. McCartney]

That may be the same Osprey that left my yard carrying a large stick headed 
toward Hog Hole on Saturday.

the beautiful spectacle IMO.

[cayugabirds-l] Exhibit talk @ Mann: NBB Prof. Mike Webster on New Media Specimens in Ornithology

[Marty Schlabach]

Sound and Feature: How Media Specimens are Revolutionizing Modern Ornithology
Exhibit lecture by Mike Webster (Dept. of Neurobiology & Behavior / The 
Macaulay Library, Cornell Lab of Ornithology
Friday, June 9, 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Stern Seminar Room (160), Mann Library

For centuries ornithological research has relied on the study of specimens to 
reveal the ecology, life histories and evolution of birds. Today we can also 
collect a new type of specimen, the "media specimen": an audio or video 
recording of a bird in nature. These recordings capture key aspects of wild 
bird behavior in ways that traditional physical specimens simply cannot. 
Drawing from his own work in Australia and North America as well as that of 
other Cornell scientists and students, Dr. Mike Webster of the Cornell Dept. of 
Neurobiology and Behavior will show how media specimens are advancing 
modern-day research aimed at understanding and conserving birds and how 
inexpensive new technologies are allowing everyday "citizen scientists" to 
collect and use media specimens. Efforts such as these are fostering broader 
participation in ornithological science, a better understanding of birds at 
continental and even global scales, and deeper appreciation of the natural 
world by a world-wide public.

Following Dr. Webster's talk, please join us for a reception in the Mann 
Gallery, in celebration of the new exhibit: "Around the World and Back: 
Building Cornell's Nature Collections Through 
Exploration."



Other reunion 2017 events at Mann Library include:

  *   Making It at the Library: 3D printing and makerspace 
demo, 
Friday, June 9, 11:30 am to 2:00 pm, Mann Lobby;
  *   Exhibit:  "Mark Catesby: Naturalist in North 
America," M-F 8:00 am - 5:00 pm, Sat 
1:00 - 5:00 pm, Mann Lobby & Top Shelf Gallery, 1st floor;
  *   Guided viewing of Mark Catesby's 18th century 
masterpiece: 
"The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands,"  with Dr. 
Don Rakow, Saturday, June 10, 1:00 - 3:00 pm,  Rare & Manuscript Collection 
Reference Room, Kroch Library Level 2B.
