The program topic is: Reflections from a bird bath Water is profoundly important for birds, not only for drinking, but also for feather maintenance. But surprisingly little is known about how often birds bathe or drink, and whether this varies with the seasons or the time of day. What is the social behavior of birds at water sources – do they avoid each other, or do they get along? And does the attraction of birds to water also mean that bird baths are focal points for deposition of seeds from fruits that birds have recently eaten? This presentation will describe the findings from a multi-year project in Georgia in which a game camera was used to monitor bird behavior and seed deposition to a water bath. It turns out that some amazing ecological interactions are happening every day at your backyard bird bath!
