Date: 10/30/24 2:53 pm From: Vicki King via Inland-nw-birders <inland-nw-birders...> Subject: [inland-NW-birders] REMINDER: WOS Monthly Meeting, November 4, 2024
The Washington Ornithological Society (WOS) is pleased to announce our next Monthly Meeting: on Monday, November 4, Loma Pendergraft, Ph.D., will present, “Clever, Curious, and Charismatic Crows.” The antics of crows, ravens, and other Corvids—have captivated our imaginations throughout history. Many of our myths, legends and stories revolve around the astonishing brainpower these birds possess. But what is fact and what is fiction? Join us while we discuss fun facts about crows, the capabilities (and limits) of their intelligence, and the research that scientists at the University of Washington have conducted on these fascinating birds.” Loma Pendergraft earned his Ph.D. studying crow behavior at the University of Washington. He currently works for the UW as an instructor of animal behavior and wildlife science. Visit his website: https://lomapendergraft.com
This meeting will be conducted virtually, via Zoom (no in-person attendance). Sign-in will begin at 7:15 pm, and the meeting commences at 7:30 pm. Please go to the WOS Monthly Meetings page: https://wos.org/monthly-meetings/ for instructions on participation and to get the Zoom link.
When joining the meeting, we ask that you mute your device and make certain that your camera is turned off.
