*By Ofer Tchernichovski, PhD*
*Tuesday, March 26, 7pm *
*Reidy Hall at the Unitarian Church of All Souls*
*1157 Lexington Ave, New York, NY
*

How and when does a Zebra Finch learn to sing, and what effects does
hearing a song have on its brain? How does sleep affect song learning? How
does the learning of birdsong compare to the learning of speech in human
infants? Learn the answers to these questions and more from Ofer
Tchernichovski, PhD, who studies animal behavior and the dynamics of vocal
learning and sound production at the Laboratory of Vocal Learning at Hunter
College. The lab aims to uncover the specific physiological and molecular
brain processes that underlie song learning. Tchernichovski holds a PhD in
zoology from Tel Aviv University and is a doctor of veterinary medicine.

The NYC Audubon Lecture Series is free and open to the public. This series
has been made possible by the support of Claude and Lucienne Bloch.

[nysbirds-l] NYCA Lecture - Tuesday, 7pm. Really good!

[Lynne Hertzog]

*Mark your calendar for this one!*



*MANAGING RAT MIGRATION: ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION IMPLICATIONS OF BROWN
RATSBy Matthew CombsTuesday, January 22, 7pm*

*Location: **Reidy Hall at the Unitarian Church of All Souls, 1157
Lexington Avenue
 between
79th and 80th Streets in Manhattan*

Learn about New York City’s least favorite furry friend from Matthew Combs,
whose work studying the genetics of the City’s rats recently caused quite a
stir. Controlling the City’s rat populations can often have severe
implications for raptors such as Red-tailed Hawks, so it can be helpful for
bird lovers to learn about these common critters. Combs will explore the
biology of rats, the risks they pose, and even debunk some rat myths. We
will then hear how he uses genetics and ecology to understand rat
populations in our city and how that might translate to management goals
and priorities. Matthew Combs conducts his research as a doctoral candidate
at Fordham University.

Should be extremely interesting!
Hope you’ll come.

 This lecture is free and open to the public. This series has been made

[nysbirds-l] Lecture, tomorrow, Thursday

[Lynne Hertzog]

*IDENTIFYING VERSUS IDENTIFYING WITH: A BRIEF HISTORY OF BIRDWATCHING, BIRD
STUDY, AND BIRDING IN AMERICA*


*By John C. RummThursday, November 8, 7pm*

Do you consider yourself a “birder” or a “birdwatcher?” As used today, the
terms have different connotations. “Birders” are considered hardcore and
dedicated to keeping (and growing) their bird lists. “Birdwatchers,”
meanwhile, are viewed as less driven and serious, and more passive about
seeing birds. In reality, the situation is more complex. Drawn from
extensive research, historian John C. Rumm traces the changing meaning of
the term “birdwatching” and the rise and fall of “bird study” from the late
1800s to the closing decades of the 20th century. View the full 2018 NYC
Audubon lecture schedule here. 

*New York City Audubon's lecture series is free and open to the public. It
is held at Reidy Hall at the Unitarian Church of All Souls, Lexington
Avenue between 79th and 80th Streets in Manhattan.*

[nysbirds-l] NYC Injured birds info needed. d-bird.org

[Lynne Hertzog]

Birders,
Migration is happening (very exciting), but, in our city, that often means
trouble for birds passing through.
NYC Audubon is seeking information from observers that will help us
identify hotspots for bird collisions and other hazards for migratory birds
passing through NYC - all 5 boroughs.
We have created a geo-referenced, interactive website to capture these
data. If dead bird ID is problematic, photos can be uploaded to the site
for later identification.
Please log the data here: d-bird.org
If you have questions, please email citizenscie...@nycaudubon.org

Thank you for your help.

[nysbirds-l] Sparrows! Lecture. Rick Wright. Tuesday 2/26

[Lynne Hertzog]

 SPARROWS AND PEOPLE AND SPARROW PEOPLE*By Rick Wright*

*Tuesday, February 27, 7pm,  *
*Reidy Hall at the Unitarian Church of All Souls, located on Lexington
Avenue between 79th and 80th streets in Manhattan (Google Map
<https://www.google.com/maps/place/Unitarian+Church+of+All+Souls/@40.7754695,-73.9605579,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c2f610c209c057:0x8a41a04bc904486c!8m2!3d40.7754695!4d-73.9583692>)*

Prolific author Rick Wright will share his expertise and read passages from
his forthcoming book, the Peterson Reference Guide to North American
Sparrows.

Rick has quite a varied and interesting background - a native of southeast
Nebraska, studied French, German, philosophy, and life sciences at the
University of Nebraska, where he worked in the bird collections of the
State Museum and served as teaching assistant to Paul Johnsgard. After a
detour to Harvard Law School, Rick took the M.A. and Ph.D. in German at
Princeton University. His years as an academic included appointments as
assistant professor of German at the University of Illinois, reader/scholar
at Princeton University’s Index of Christian Art, and associate professor
of medieval studies at Fordham University. Among his scholarly publications
are two books on the Latin and German animal literature of the late Middle
Ages. He is also the author of the American Birding Association’s field
guides to birds of New Jersey and of Arizona. *Rick is also a guide for
VENT birding tours, offering wonderful "Birds & Art" tours in various
European countries.*  A prolific contributor to the birding literature and
a sought-after lecturer, Rick lives with his wife, Alison Beringer, and
their chocolate lab, Gellert, in Bloomfield, New Jersey.

Lectures are free and open to the public. This series has been made
possible by the support of Claude and Lucienne Bloch.

Hope to see you there!

Prolific author Rick Wright will share his expertise and read passages from
his forthcoming book, the Peterson Reference Guide to North American
Sparrows.

Rick has quite a varied and interesting background - a native of southeast
Nebraska, studied French, German, philosophy, and life sciences at the
University of Nebraska, where he worked in the bird collections of the
State Museum and served as teaching assistant to Paul Johnsgard. After a
detour to Harvard Law School, Rick took the M.A. and Ph.D. in German at
Princeton University. His years as an academic included appointments as
assistant professor of German at the University of Illinois, reader/scholar
at Princeton University’s Index of Christian Art, and associate professor
of medieval studies at Fordham University. Among his scholarly publications
are two books on the Latin and German animal literature of the late Middle
Ages. He is also the author of the American Birding Association’s field
guides to birds of New Jersey and of Arizona. *Rick is also a guide for
VENT birding tours, offering wonderful "Birds & Art" tours in various
European countries.*  A prolific contributor to the birding literature and
a sought-after lecturer, Rick lives with his wife, Alison Beringer, and
their chocolate lab, Gellert, in Bloomfield, New Jersey.

Lectures are free and open to the public. This series has been made
possible by the support of Claude and Lucienne Bloch.

Hope to see you there!

[nysbirds-l] NYC Audubon lecture Thursday Nov 17. New location!

[Lynne Hertzog]

CAT WARS: THE DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES OF A CUDDLY KILLER By Peter P.
Marra, PhD Thursday, November 17, 7pm Reidy Hall at the Unitarian Church of
All Souls 1157 Lexington Avenue (between 79th and 80th street)
Mounting scientific evidence confirms what many conservationists have
suspected for some time--that in the United States alone, free-ranging cats
are killing birds and other animals by the billions. Equally alarming are
the public health consequences of rabies and parasitic Toxoplasma passing
from cats to humans. Join us as co-author Peter P. Marra, PhD discusses Cat
Wars, the story of the threats free-ranging cats pose to biodiversity and
public health, and the controversies surrounding the management of cat
populations.
NOTE: "Green Metropolis: The Extraordinary Landscapes of New York City as
Nature, History, and Design" by Elizabeth Barlow Rogers was originally
scheduled to take place on November 17. The "Green Metropolis" lecture will
now take place on Wednesday, January 25.  View our updated 2016-2017
Lecture Series Schedule by clicking here.
All lectures are free and open to the public. This series has been made
possible by the support of Claude and Lucienne Bloch.

[Lynne Hertzog]

Dear Birders,
Kellye Rosenheim of NYC Audubon asked me to share this with you.

which are below.

In addition to the service
​,​
 a memorial bird walk is planned the following morning on April 22 at 7:30
am and will be led by Lenore Swenson.  Please meet at 103rd Street and
Central Park West.

All who knew Anne are invited to attend the service and/or the walk.  May
her memory live on and inspire us.

[nysbirds-l] NYC AUDUBON CONSERVATION LECTURE

[Lynne Hertzog]

Tomorrow night!

PRIORITIES AND PARTNERSHIPS: FREE NYC AUDUBON CONSERVATION LECTURE
By Susan Elbin, PhD and Debra Kriensky
Tuesday, March 15, 6:30pm
Central Park Zoo 4-D Theater

NYC Audubon conducts scientific monitoring in all five boroughs to
understand how birds are using our urban environment and how this
environment affects them, via Project Safe Flight, our Jamaica Bay program,
and our Harbor Herons project. Join us as Director of Conservation and
Science Susan Elbin, PhD, and Conservation Biologist Debra Kriensky provide
updates on all the ways we've worked this year to protect New York City's
diverse birdlife—from test-flying songbirds in our glass-testing flight
tunnel... to banding common tern and black skimmer chicks... to tagging
great egrets with "texting" GPS transmitters that allow us to follow their
migration.

Lectures are free and open to the public. This series has been made
possible by the support of Claude and Lucienne Bloch.

PLEASE NOTE: Our upcoming lectures will take place at the Central Park Zoo
4-D Theater, just north of the Arsenal Building at 64th Street and Fifth
Avenue. Capacity at this theater is limited to the first 75 guests on a
first-come, first-seated basis.

Hope to see you there.

Re: [nysbirds-l] stores that display a variety of spotting scopes

[Lynne Hertzog]

Let me add this to the discussion - there are on-line stores that are much
more "bird friendly" than B
Let me explain - several years ago, I wrote and called B several times to
ask for a contribution to NYC Audubon (NYCA). I wrote that many birders in
the city were buying from them, and that a small contribution such as some
optics or a credit, would not only provide B with further customers by
the advertising that NYCA would provide at our annual fundraiser, but would
also go to help bird conservation in New York City.
I was hoping for a favorable response, but instead, B simply did not even
have the courtesy to respond at all. I tried two years in a row.
On the other hand, Eagle Optics, an online store, has been supportive of
many birding organizations (they provided a pair of binoculars for multiple
years to NYCA), and, of course, Cape May Bird Observatory as well. I
believe you can negotiate with Eagle Optics if you find a better price
elsewhere.

Also, regarding checking out scopes -  I found birders very generous in
allowing me to look through their scopes when I was in the field. This is
how I did my research. Everybody has a scope out for shorebirds!

Good birding.

Here's the preliminary list from Central Park yesterday. We had a total of
54 species and 4,262 birds. Preliminary count is 98 participants.
Highlights were the Orange-crowned Warbler, Wilson's Warbler,
Black-and-white Warbler, Great Horned Owl, and the Ring-necked Duck (bolded

which we have as count week birds, and there was also noticeable absence of
several birds (incl. Eastern Towhees, Swamp Sparrows, Fox Sparrows, etc.).

We're working on the full New Jersey /Lower Hudson tally, those results
will be posted shortly.

[nysbirds-l] NYC Audubon Lecture - A Bird's Eye View of Israel

[Lynne Hertzog]

NYC Audubon Lecture series presents -

*A **BIRD'S-EYE** VIEW OF ISRAEL*

*By Dan Alon, Noam Weiss, Jonathan **Meyrav**, and Amir **Balaban*
*Monday, May 11, 6pm*
The Arsenal - 5th Ave. at 64th St.
 3rd floor. Free. Open to all.

Israel is a truly incredible place for birds and birding. Half a billion
birds pass through Israel twice a year, making it the second largest
migratory flyway in the world. Over 540 species of birds have been recorded
in Israel, a country the size of New Jersey. From the snow-covered peak of
Mount Hermon in the north, through the low-lying Dead Sea Valley and south
to the granite peaks of the Eilat Mountains, Israel boasts an avifauna that
is second only to the tropics. Join distinguished birders from the Society
for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI) Dan Alon, Noam Weiss,
Jonathan Meyrav, and Amir Balaban as they discuss birding, the miracle of
migration, and work being done to protect and provide for birds in Israel.

This series has been made possible by the support of Claude and Lucienne
Bloch.

*A **BIRD'S-EYE** VIEW OF ISRAEL*

*By Dan Alon, Noam Weiss, Jonathan **Meyrav**, and Amir **Balaban*
*Monday, May 11, 6pm*
The Arsenal - 5th Ave. at 64th St.
 3rd floor. Free. Open to all.

Israel is a truly incredible place for birds and birding. Half a billion
birds pass through Israel twice a year, making it the second largest
migratory flyway in the world. Over 540 species of birds have been recorded
in Israel, a country the size of New Jersey. From the snow-covered peak of
Mount Hermon in the north, through the low-lying Dead Sea Valley and south
to the granite peaks of the Eilat Mountains, Israel boasts an avifauna that
is second only to the tropics. Join distinguished birders from the Society
for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI) Dan Alon, Noam Weiss,
Jonathan Meyrav, and Amir Balaban as they discuss birding, the miracle of
migration, and work being done to protect and provide for birds in Israel.

This series has been made possible by the support of Claude and Lucienne
Bloch.

[nysbirds-l] Unlawful bird killing at JFK airport

[Lynne Hertzog]

Hello Birders,

An new article was just posted about unlawful killing of migratory species
at JFK airport. I think those of us involved with bird conservation
organizations should perhaps look into getting our organizations to
pressure the Port Authority to reign in this activity, or even join the
Friends of Animals lawsuit.

Re: [nysbirds-l] NO Snowy Owl at Randall's island, NY, NY

8 birders were out looking for the Snowy Owl on Randall's Island from 3 pm
til dusk - no bird. We covered most of the open area by foot and car.
Several of us did see a raven though.
