[cobirds] The Language of Birds - Presentation and Book Signing with Nathan Pieplow!
Hello Colorado birders, Wild Bear Nature Center in Nederland, CO is thrilled to announce a FREE presentation and book signing featuring special guest and author of the Peterson Field Guide to Bird Sounds, Nathan Pieplow! View more details below: ABOUT All around us, the birds are constantly telling us who they are and what they are doing. In this talk for any audience, Nathan Pieplow unlocks the secrets of their language. You’ll listen in on the pillow talk of a pair of Red-winged Blackbirds, and learn the secret signals that Cliff Swallows use when they have found food. You’ll learn how one bird sound can have many meanings, and how one meaning can have many sounds—and how, sometimes, the meaning isn’t in the sounds at all. This talk from the author of the Peterson Field Guide to Bird Sounds is an accessible, entertaining introduction to a fascinating topic. Nathan Pieplow is the author of the *Peterson Field Guide to Bird Sounds*, published in two volumes, Eastern (2017) and Western (2019). An avid bird sound recordist and videographer, he is the author of the bird sound blog Earbirding.com, a board member of the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, an author of the Colorado Birding Trail, and former editor of the journal *Colorado Birds*. He teaches writing and rhetoric at the University of Colorado in Boulder. **Masks will be required indoors regardless of vaccination status per Boulder County Public Health mandate. * HOW TO GET THERE This talk will be held at the Wild Bear EcoArts Lounge located at 20 Lakeview Dr, Nederland, CO in the Caribou Village Shopping Center.

[cobirds] FREE Webinar about Boulder County Chickadees - Today at 1PM
Hello Colorado birders, Today (Sunday May 23rd) Wild Bear Nature Center is hosting a free webinar over Zoom about the latest research in chickadee genetics with guest speaker, CU PhD student Kathryn Grabenstein. The talk starts at 1:00 PM and will be approximately 45 minutes long with a 15 minute Q Here is the link to register! <https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/8616217866646/WN_y_GdOhlqRD20iKhrqGZ1sw> *About Kathryn:* Kathryn is currently an NSF Predoctoral fellow and PhD Candidate at CU Boulder working with *Dr. Scott Taylor* <https://www.colorado.edu/lab/taylor/> in the Ecology & Evolutionary Biology Department. She studies how humans alter the way closely-related species interact and the evolutionary consequences of those behavioral shifts. Specifically, she explores how when humans build cities, they can change how species that live there interact, and in some cases, cause them to interbreed and produce hybrids. This hybridization in human-altered environments highlights the power of habitat disturbances to break well-established species barriers. However, few studies have experimentally assessed how disturbances drive hybridization. Combining genomics and field studies, Kathryn investigates how disturbance modifies interactions between chickadees to promote hybridization. Her work focuses on establishing a long-term study, the *Boulder Chickadee Study* <https://www.colorado.edu/lab/taylor/research/boulder-chickadee-study>, as an experimental framework and community science network to explore basic natural histories of Colorado chickadees, and to improve our understanding of how humans drive evolutionary trajectories. Thanks everyone! Hope you can join us virtually this afternoon!
