Science Cabaret presents: *A River of Birds in the Sky: tuning into night migration*
When: 7 PM, Tuesday, May 8, 2012 Where: Lot 10 Lounge, 112 S. Cayuga Street FREE!! Unbeknownst to most people, songbird migration in North America happens at night. And many species give short call notes while they fly to maintain contact with their fellow travellers and prevent mid-air collisions. We'll talk about ways to detect and monitor these calls, with the possibility of someday watching real-time, continent-wide songbird migration via the internet. This amazing phenomenon may turn YOU into a "night owl"! Bill Evans is an ornithologist and naturalist who focuses on night migration, and ways to mitigate bird collisions with cell towers and wind turbines. Harold Mills is a computer programmer, birder, and musician who has a lifelong fascination with sound. TRIVIA WITH BECCA AT LOT 10 FOLLOWS THE CABARET...or if the winds are right, there's a chance that attendees may be able to migrate up to Mount Pleasant with Bill to listen to the birds flowing overhead.
