Good evening all,
Due to a family emergency, Dr. Kellam will not be presenting tonight.
We will still hold a meeting for our officer elections and a few other business items, which will be hosted on zoom as well.
Since it's Earth Day, and the weather is quite lovely this evening, after the meeting business, we can go on a sunset bird walk around Millbrook Marsh to wrap up this month's meeting.
This month, on Wednesday, February 22nd at 7pm, Dr. Jim Kellam will be presenting a program titled Sensory Perception in Woodpeckers and Other Ongoing Bird Research at a Small College Campus.
The meeting will take place in the Spring Creek Education Building. There will also be a zoom link available to those that cannot make it in person. The link to register is https://psu.zoom.us/meeting/register/roLkaPsWQ72jAdDUdQpoQg Jim is a Professor at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. He teaches Ornithology, Wildlife Biology, Conservation Biology, and Exercise Physiology in the Department of Biological Sciences. He earned his Ph.D. from Purdue University and over the course of his career has studied various species of woodpeckers, crows, and songbirds. He looks forward every spring to leading student teams at the World Series of Birding in Cape May, New Jersey, and in summer he runs an Ornithology Camp for high schoolers. Presently, he is training to handle raptors on the glove for use in educational programs. He is married with two adult children and a bunch of cats. He is a competitive swimmer and 3x Ironman Triathlon finisher.
