Monday, Nov. 13 will be the Cayuga Bird Club's monthly meeting. Our speaker this month is Dr. Emma Greig (Ph.D., University of Chicago). She joined the Citizen Science program at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in 2013 as the project leader of Feederwatch. Prior to joining the Citizen Science team, Emma was a postdoc in the Macaulay Library at the Lab of Ornithology, working with Mike Webster (2010-2013), and now continues to collaborate with the "Weblab" on questions related to behavioral ecology and evolution in birds. Emma's dissertation looked at the function of Splendid Fairy-wren vocalizations, including the enigmatic Type II� song that is given in association with predator vocalizations. Dr. Greig's presentation is entitled: Stories from Project FeederWatch: What We Have Learned from 30 Years of Counting BirdsProject FeederWatch is a continent-wide bird counting effort in which people keep track of the birds that visit their feeders in winter. We will learn about how the program works, and perhaps more importantly, what we have learned from 30 years of data collection. Why are Anna's Hummingbirds expanding their range? Is feeding birds harmful or helpful? Project FeederWatch data provides insights into both of these questions, and many more. The meeting will be held at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. Doors open at 7:00 pm with cookies and conversation starting at 7:15. Bird club business begins at 7:30 pm followed by the presentation. All are welcome. Members are also invited to join Emma Grieg for dinner at Aladdin's in Collegetown just before the meeting at 5:30. Please rsvp to Colleen Richards @ cl...@juno.com by noon on Mon., Nov.13, so reservations can be made. Have a great week everyone.Colleen Richards Cayuga Bird Club Corresponding Secretary ____________________________________________________________ One Trick to Catch a Liar The Beacon http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/5a01da3929afd5a382ccfst01duc --
