[nysbirds-l] Queens County Bird Club - Wed. May 17 - Kathleen Lynch will present "...Avian Brood Parasites"

[Nancy Tognan]

> 
> The Queens County Bird Club will be meeting at the Alley Pond Environmental 
> Center, 228-06 Northern Blvd Douglaston, NY 11362  >Map of location< 
>   
> at 8:00 pm on Wednesday, May 17, 2017.  Free admission.  Refreshments served.
> Public transit users:  Meeting location is one mile from Bayside LIRR 
> station;  you may either walk, take the Q12 bus, or use car service located 
> at the station.
>  
>  Kathleen Lynch, PhD, will present  “Becoming a Neglectful Mother: Looking 
> inside the Brain of Avian Brood Parasites”.

Approximately 1% of avian species are obligate brood parasites. Avian obligate 
brood parasites do not build a nest, incubate eggs or provision the newly 
hatched nestlings or fledglings.
Instead, obligate brood parasites always leave their eggs in the nest of a host 
species, a peculiar strategy that places their chances of reproductive success 
in the nest of another female. Brood parasites evade the costs of raising their 
own offspring and the expense is paid by the host that almost always endures 
substantial losses in the survival of their own offspring. Dr. Lynch will 
discuss the independent evolutionary events resulting in seven lineages of 
brood parasites across the world and how the brain of brood parasites may have 
evolved to produce neglectful mothers that have lost the maternal ability.
Dr. Kathleen Lynch attended the University of Montana for her bachelor’s 
degree, which is where she first became interested in bird research. She then 
earned a Master’s degree at Idaho State University on studies with Worm-eating 
Warblers and conducted a PhD at the University of Texas at Austin working with 
Tungara frogs at Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.  She began working 
with birds again at Johns Hopkins University where she studied the neural 
mechanisms of mate choice.

[nysbirds-l] Kentucky Warbler - Forest Park, Queens

[akmirth]

At 12:45 PM, I had a good look at a Kentucky Warbler on the feeder side of the 
water hole. I thought I had heard one this morning, about a hundred yards south 
of the water hole. Activity was pretty good this morning, with multiple 
Nashville and Magnolia Warblers, plus reports of Blackburnian, Chestnut-sided,
