Hello Cayugabirders! Don't miss this upcoming Monday's visit by Bridget
Stutchbury featuring coffee and a book signing!
Monday, September 24, 2012:
Bridget Stutchbury, professor of Biology at York University and author of
“Silence of the Songbirds” and “The Private Lives of Birds, will be at three
events at Cornell and at the Lab of Ornithology on Monday. We hope you'll join
us for coffee-tasting and the latest info about songbirds and shade-grown
coffee.
Lecture, 2:00 p.m., Mann Library Room 102
Saving Birds with Bird-Friendly Coffee
Dozens of species of migratory birds have experienced serious, long-term
population declines that are driven in part by the threats that these birds
face during migration while living in Central and South America. In her
presentation, Dr. Bridget Stutchbury follows songbirds to their wintering
grounds and back to understand what challenges they face along the way. She
explains why so many species of our beloved songbirds are threatened by
tropical deforestation and teaches us how we can make the world safer for
songbirds by drinking bird-friendly, shade-grown coffee.
Free Coffee-Tasting, 3:00 p.m., Mann Library Lobby
Taste Birds Beans coffee, an organic shade-grown, bird-friendly coffee. The
tasting will be held from 3:00 to 4:00 in the Mann Library lobby while supplies
last, following the 2:00-3:00 lecture in Mann Library 102, Saving Birds with
Bird-Friendly Coffee.
Monday Night Seminar, 7:30 p.m., Cornell Lab of Ornithology Auditorium
Tracking Migratory Birds: Conservation and Bird-Friendly Coffee
Books will be available for purchase and signing, and Birds Beans coffee will
be available for tasting.
Each fall, billions of songbirds leave North America on an epic journey to
their faraway wintering grounds in Central and South America where many live in
tropical forests shared by toucans, howler monkeys, and jaguars. Bridget
Stutchbury will reveal her surprising migration tracking results for Purple
Martins, Red-eyed Vireos, and Wood Thrushes and discuss how drinking
bird-friendly shade-grown coffee can help us save songbirds. Dr. Stutchbury's
book, “Silence of the Songbirds,” will be available for purchase and book
signing. Free Birds Beans coffee, an organic, shade-grown, bird-friendly
coffee, will be available for tasting.
