2014-11-17 Thread Willie D'Anna and Betsy Potter 
The Ivory Gull on the Niagara River has been retracted as a leucistic
Bonaparte's Gull.  This happens every few years - leucistic Bonies are seen
most years lately.

Good birding!

[nysbirds-l] Queens County Bird Club Inc. - Upcoming Meeting Info - Douglas Futuyma presents "Evolution for Birders: A Guide for the Perplexed"

2014-11-17 Thread Nancy Tognan 
 

The *Queens County Bird Club Inc.* will be meeting at the Alley Pond
Environmental Center, 228-06 Northern Blvd Douglaston, NY 11362
 >Map of location<  

at 8pm on Wednesday, November 19, 2014{ the third Wednesday of the month} 

Our speaker will be Prof. Douglas Futuyma, presenting "Evolution for
Birders: A Guide for the Perplexed"

 Birders frequently face questions that fall within the province of
evolutionary science. What are species? Are they real or arbitrary? How
confident can we be about which species belong in which families? Why do
some species have 'phases' or 'morphs'? What accounts for odd geographic
distributions of some families? Professor Futuyma will talk about some of
these and other issues, and will open the floor to discuss any questions
about the evolution and ecology of birds that audience members may wish to
raise.

 Douglas Futuyma is Distinguished Professor of Ecology and Evolution at
Stony Brook University and the author of two standard college textbooks,
'Evolutionary Biology' and 'Evolution,' as well as a popular classic,
'Science on Trial: The Case for Evolution.' He has received numerous awards
for his teaching and for his research, including in 2012 the Joseph Leidy
Award for Research Achievement given by the Academy of Natural Sciences. He
has been a Guggenheim Fellow and a Fulbright Fellow, has served as president
of the Society for the Study of Evolution, the American Society of
Naturalists, and the American Institute of Biological Sciences, and was
elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1996 and the
National Academy of Sciences in 2006.Non-members and guests are invited to
join us for our meetings featuring noted guest speakers and to join us on
our renowned field trips.
