DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM DESCRIPTION \nBlue-winged Teal ©James K. Ringelman \nDr. Kevin Ringelman\, Assistant Professor at UC Davis\, will take us on a tour of North American waterfowl science\, showing how cutting-edge research from his lab is integrating new technology to answer age-old questions on both breeding and wintering waterfowl. Expect to hear about unique predator-prey-parasite relationships in cavity-nesting waterfowl in Louisiana\, how uncrewed aerial vehicles and thermal cameras reveal new insights waterfowl demographics on the Canadian prairies\, and how the artificial intelligence revolution can be leveraged to automate nationwide monitoring efforts. \nThe public is invited to join Yolo Bird Alliance and its members for the free\, monthly general meeting on February 18\, 2026. The featured speaker is Dr. Kevin Ringelman\, and his topic is “Quack to The Future: Ducks as A Driver of Innovation in Avian Ecology”.
