[cayugabirds-l] Pipits in Hanshaw fields

2023-10-25 Thread Marc Devokaitis
About an hour ago I parked at Freese Rd Community Gardens and walked along
the Monkey Run rim trail until it comes out on the back of some of
the Hanshaw Rd fields to the east of Freese Rd (at most 1/4 mile). Not far
from the treeline were around 30 well-camouflaged and very active AMERICAN
PIPITS foraging amid recently sown cover crop.

The Limpkin spent much of the morning in the lawn between the baseball
fields and the backyards on Durland Avenue.  I last saw it going over the
corner of the dike from the Durland yards back toward the woods at the
southeast corner of the park at 1:30 p.m.

[cayugabirds-l] Mundinger Lecture Tonight!

2023-10-25 Thread Sarah Katherine Wagner

Captivating Courtship: Leaping for Love by Regina H. Macedo
Paul C. Mundinger Distinguished Lectureship
October 25, at 5:30 p.m.
B25, Warren Hall, on the Cornell University campus
The lecture is free and open to the public. This is an in-person and virtual 
event.
It's tough to catch the eye of a potential mate when you’re dressed all in 
black with no fancy feathers to jiggle around. But a tiny bird called the 
Blue-black Grassquit has found a way. Learn about this fascinating species 
during the 2023 Paul C. Mundinger Distinguished Lectureship presented by the 
Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
The lecture will be delivered by Regina H. Macedo from the Universidade de 
Brasilia (University of Brasilia). She has been studying the Blue-black 
Grassquit for decades, peeling apart the influences that resulted in the bird's 
energetic courtship leaps.
This lectureship was established in honor of the late Paul Mundinger, who 
received his Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology from Cornell University.
