[nysbirds-l] Linnaean Society of NY Program Tuesday, February 14th, 2017

[Richard Fried]

Tuesday evening, February 14th, 2017 the Linnaean Society of New York 2016-17 
Speaker Program will feature two presentations: 

6:00 pm — Making Music from the Sounds of Nature – Ben Mirin

Ben Mirin is a sound artist and television presenter who records wildlife and 
composes music from the sounds of nature. His talk will present music as a 
medium for celebrating biodiversity and engaging people from all walks of life 
with the natural world. Mirin will perform music made from wildlife sounds he 
has recorded with colleagues in the scientific community and local artists in 
India, Madagascar, and a wide range of ecosystems around the world. He will 
discuss the process behind his work, how it dovetails with scientific research, 
and how the music works to inspire conservation at a local level. To further 
understand their impact, we will experience the music alongside film and 
photography of Mirin’s ongoing efforts with National Geographic, The Safina 
Center, and other organizations to create anthems to our natural heritage 
around the world.

7:30 pm — Seeing sounds: New Ways to Identify Birds by Ear – Nathan Pieplow

The ability to identify birds by ear is crucially important to experienced 
birders. For years, gaining this ability has required a long, slow process of 
memorizing sounds. But the forthcoming Peterson Field Guide to Bird Sounds aims 
to change all that. In this talk, author Nathan Pieplow will introduce the 
concepts behind the field guide and teach expert skills in listening to bird 
sounds, reading spectrograms, and visualizing sounds. He will share some of the 
thousands of recordings he has made over more than a decade as a sound 
recordist, and the insights he has gained from his efforts to standardize the 
way we talk about, think about, and listen to bird sounds. Pieplow teaches 
writing and rhetoric at the University of Colorado, Boulder. An avid bird sound 
recordist, he is the author of the bird sound blog Earbirding.com as well as 
the upcoming Peterson Field Guide to Bird Sounds. He is an author of the 
Colorado Birding Trail, former board member of the Colorado Field 
Ornithologists, and former editor of the journal Colorado Birds.

Both presentations are free and will be held in the Linder Theater on the first 
floor of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Enter at West 
77th Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue. All welcome!

Complete details of these exciting presentations and the rest of the 2016-2017 
program can be found here:
