SUMMARY:NightSchool: Songbirds in Spring
DESCRIPTION:Signs of spring: flowers\, pollinators\, and bird songs. If you’ve noticed more avian chatter\, movement\, and transportation of nesting material\, it’s because it’s bird breeding season. Join the California Academy of Sciences to learn about how scientists monitor the health of California songbird populations and get a peek into the Academy’s stunning collection of eggs and nests. \nTo-dos for songbirds during the breeding season: Build a nest\, keep hungry nestlings fed\, and protect nest from predators. Hilary Allen\, Avian Ecologist at Point Blue Conservation Science\, talks about the sneaky and fascinating behavior of songbirds\, and what nest monitoring can teach us about their reproductive success\, fitness\, and survival. \nBecause most birds sing when they are on their breeding territories\, trained observers often survey birds by recognizing their unique calls and songs. Jack Dumbacher\, Academy Curator of Ornithology\, will talk about how this is done now\, and introduce some of the exciting new technologies that researchers are developing to use song and automated recording units to scale up songbird surveys. \nCollections manager Moe Flannery is back\, taking viewers behind-the-scenes to explore some of the incredible songbird eggs and nests that are part of the ornithology collections. Now that birds are busy nest-building\, it’s the perfect time of year to observe the intricacies and diversity of songbird construction and to marvel at the size of hummingbird eggs. \nAll NightLife virtual programming is intended for audiences 21+.
