April 22 CHBC program on cardinals' singing behavior



Carolinabirders, you're all invited to the next meeting of the Chapel Hill
Bird Club on Monday, April 22, for a free program describing recent research
into the singing behavior of male and female cardinals. Hope a lot of you
can make it. (Refreshments provided.)

Chapel Hill, N.C.

Program:  "A Comparison of Singing Behavior in Male and Female Cardinals at
Mason Farm" by Joanna Vondrasek, fifth-year graduate student working with
Haven Wiley. Northern Cardinals are an unusual species in that both sexes
sing from conspicuous perches, where they give solo songs and countersing
with mates or prospective mates. Do male and female cardinals sing under
similar circumstances; do their songs serve similar functions? Vondrasek
will report what she found in her field research at Mason Farm Biological
Reserve in Chapel Hill.

Where:  The lounge, Binkley Baptist Church, corner of 15-501 Bypass and
Willow Drive in Chapel Hill (next to University Mall).

When:  Monday, April 22, 7:15 p.m. for refreshments; 7:30 meeting begins.
