SUMMARY:Listening to Nature’s Divas: What Female Songsters Have to Tell Us
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Karan Odom\, PhD. \nTalk: Listening to Nature’s Divas: What Female Songsters Have to Tell Us \nApril 21 (Wednesday) 7:30 PM via Zoom \nDr. Karan Odom is a behavioral ecologist interested in how animals evolved their often complex and diverse behaviors. She is especially interested in the evolution of elaborate bird songs and the ecological and social selection pressures that have shaped these songs. Karan’s research focuses on the stark similarities and differences seen between female and male bird songs from tropical versus temperate regions. She combines phylogenetic comparative methods with field studies in order to tease apart the evolutionary processes responsible for the biogeographical patterns we see in female and male song today.\nKaran is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Maryland\, College Park\, having recently completed a postdoc at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Karan received her masters at the University of Windsor in Ontario studying the function and geographic variation in Barred Owl duets. Then she earned her Ph.D. at the University of Maryland\, Baltimore County (UMBC) studying male and female song in troupials\, a tropical oriole in Puerto Rico. Karan also runs a citizen science project (the Female Bird Song Project – www.femalebirdsong.org)\, encouraging wildlife enthusiasts to help document the understudied singing behaviors of female songbirds.\nShe is a co-recipient of the AOS 2019 James G. Cooper Early Professional Award. \nRegistration\, necessary for non-members to receive an invitation: https://tinyurl.com/dss5vkkk \nInvitations will be sent our 1-2 days before the meeting.

SUMMARY:Occoquan Bay NWR
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \nLeaders:  Gerry Hawkins and Mike Bowen \nParticipants:  11 plus leaders \nWeather:  Cloudy with a few bright periods\, blustery\, with a wind that occasionally felt cold\, 50’s \nHighlights:  A brilliantly bright\, calling male Baltimore Oriole (first of the season for most of us)\, a raft of 17 Red-breasted Mergansers that\, when seen well\, turned out to be composed entirely of females – presumably on mid-migration to breeding grounds well to our North – and splendid views of Prothonotary\, Yellow\, Yellow-throated and Prairie Warblers and Northern Parulas\, many of them singing lustily.  We enjoyed watching lots of Bald Eagles and Ospreys on and around their nests and had a fleeting look at a flying King Rail\, while others called “kek-kek-kek” from not far off.  Out in the bay we had 4 species of gulls and terns. There were surprisingly few swallows – just a few Tree and Barn – and very few sparrows in this usually sparrow-filled refuge\, although we did get great views of Swamp Sparrow. The timing of our MBC trip this year was once again a little too early for Yellow-breasted Chats\, which breed at the refuge but which had not yet returned from the south. \nThe eBird checklist for the trip can be found at https://ebird.org/checklist/S86353062
