Happy Thursday, Bird Club!
This month's meeting, on February 25th at 7:00 p.m., we will have David Toews presenting a program titled: Whats on the Menu? Diet Variation in Wood Warblers
David Toews is the Louis Martarano Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at The Pennsylvania State University. His research focused on the evolutionary ecology and genomics of birds, primarily the colorful New World wood warblers. Originally from Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada, he did graduate schoolMSc and PhDat the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia. He went as a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, New York. There he studied hybridizing golden-winged and blue-winged warblers, which was one of the earliest studies to describe carotenoid processing genes in wild birds. His work has expanded from there, encompassing genetic and diet data from across the warbler family.
