The Singing Life of Birds April 18, 2008

The William and Nancy Klamm Memorial Lecture
Dr. Donald Kroodsma, ornithologist
Friday, April 18, 2008, 7:30 pm

Dr. Donald Kroodsma, professor emeritus of biology at University of Massachusetts Amherst, invites you to listen to birds as you've never listened before – to not just identify them, but to identify with them. Hear a song sparrow work through its repertoire. Listen to conversations among crows and jays. See and hear the exquisite beauty in the songs of thrushes and learn how each male uses his songs to best effect. Discover the common elements of the sounds of a babbling baby wren and baby human. You'll learn to hear our most common birds in ways you never imagined. Please join us for a book signing with this speaker.
