[nysbirds-l] Winged Jewels Of The Forest (NY Hall Of Science)

[Larry Trachtenberg]

There is a wonderful photography exhibit of the birds of Rockefeller State Park 
(Westchester County) at the NY hall of Science in Flushing.  Wonderful works by 
mostly members of Saw Mill River Audubon. The Exhibit runs until 10/28 so after 
chasing say a Western Kingbird in Queens you may want to check it out.  (18 
species of warbler on display in breeding plumage, so it made up for this fall 
migration in which I have seen virtually none at Croton Point.)  
https://nysci.org/event/winged-jewels-of-the-forest/

As for birds, I saw 2 golden plover and one buff breasted sandpiper in the 
Black Dirt region of Orange County on Saturday (these were on Skinner's Lane).  
Thanks to Jodi and Felipe for putting me on the birds.  Lots of places to check 
in that region.  A walk at Walkill Refuge is always productive too - overloaded 
with Common Gallinule this fall.  (Missed Baird's SP and the two sandhill 
cranes that have recently been seen in the area.)
And of course a stop at the Quaker Creek Store after birding is worth the trip.

[nysbirds-l] "Birdsong and Vocal Learning" - a Queens County Bird Club presentation this Weds. Sept 19

[Nancy Tognan]

The Queens County Bird Club will be meeting at the Alley Pond Environmental 
Center, 228-06 Northern Blvd Douglaston, NY 11362   >Map of location< 
  at 8:00 pm this Wednesday, September 19, 2018.  Free 
admission.  Refreshments served (including ice cream)

Prof. Ofer Tchernichovski of CUNY Hunter College will present “Birdsong and 
Vocal Learning”.

   How and when does a Zebra Finch learn to sing?  What effects does 
hearing a song have on its brain?  Which song does a female Zebra Finch prefer? 
 How does bird song culture change over time?  How does sleep affect song 
learning?  How does the learning of birdsong compare to the learning of speech 
in human infants?

 These questions and more are examined in Prof. Ofer Tchernichovski’s 
Laboratory of Vocal Learning at Hunter College, which studies the animal 
behavior and dynamics of vocal learning and sound production across different 
brain levels. The lab aims to uncover the specific physiological and molecular 
(gene expression) brain processes that underlie song learning.

 Prof. Tchernichovski holds a PhD in Zoology from Tel Aviv University, and 
is also a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, earned at the Koret Veterinary School 
of The Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
