SUMMARY:Differences in Movement and Habitat Use Between Two Call Types of Red Crossbills
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n  \n\n\n\n\nRed Crossbill ©Konshau Duman \n\n\n\n\nPROGRAM DESCRIPTION \n\n\n\nThe public is invited to join Yolo Bird Alliance and its members for the monthly general meeting on October 16\, 2024\, where Konshau Duman will give a presentation on the bird species\, Red Crossbill. This event is free\, and you do not need to be a member of Yolo Bird Alliance. The meeting is held at the Davis Senior Center at 646 A Street in Davis. The meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. and runs until 8:50 p.m. \nThe Red Crossbill is a species complex containing 12 vocal\, or call types in its North American range. Specialization to key conifers during periods of late winter scarcity has been the primary theory proposed to explain the evolution of these call types\, yet the ecological differences between them remain elusive. Studies have shown different call types frequently overlap in breeding and nonbreeding distributions and are observed associating with many resources beyond their key conifer species\, even during the critical periods. By assessing resource use and habitat associations of these call types and the associated movement patterns\, Konshau will discuss how his research shows that Type 2 and Type 5 Red Crossbills show quite different patterns of occurrence in an area of frequent overlap in northwestern Wyoming. In addition\, he will explain how habitat associations\, migratory distance\, and the associated behaviors could provide a barrier to gene flow between these populations. The findings of Konshau’s research will add to a small but growing body of literature on nomadic migration and adaptive radiation. \nSPEAKER BIO \nKonshau is a 3rd year PhD student at UC Davis. He has broad natural history oriented interests which are currently focused on vocal development and learning\, nomadic migration\, and diet. Konshau became interested in researching birds during his undergrad studies at UCD\, and started birding in the area at that time as well. \nThe Yolo Bird Alliance fosters an appreciation of birds and other wildlife through educational programs and field trips\, brings conservation issues to public awareness\, and acts to preserve Yolo County bird life and habitat.

SUMMARY:Birdability Trip to Lake Solano County Park
DESCRIPTION:Phainopepla ©Zane Pickus  \nBirdability Week is a celebration of birding and inclusivity put on by the National Audubon Society. On Saturday\, October 26th\, join Yolo Bird Alliance for its own celebration of Birdability Week at Lake Solano County Park. This location is known to birders far and wide for its impressive diversity of bird species\, all of which can be viewed from the many paved\, flat paths which meander through the park. It is an excellent place to spend a morning\, and on this day we will come together to share the joy of birdwatching at our own pace. Once at the park\, we will take a few relaxing walks and observe the birds and nature around us. Everyone is welcome! \nParticipants may expect to see charismatic species such as Common Merganser\, Oak Titmouse\, White-breasted Nuthatch\, and Acorn Woodpecker. If we’re lucky\, perhaps a Phainopepla or Osprey will stop by. No matter what we see\, it is certain to be a good time and is an opportunity to ensure birding is accessible to all. This trip is open to everyone whether mobility impaired or not. \nBring snacks\, water\, and binoculars or a camera if you have them. All walking will be on paved\, even terrain\, and walking distances short. The group will return to its meeting location in Davis around 11:00am. \nFor additional information about Birdability Week and the Birdability initiative\, please see: \nhttps://www.audubon.org/get-involved/birdability-week \nhttps://www.birdability.org/ \nThis trip will be limited to 20 participants. Contact Zane Pickus for more details or to sign-up at: \nzanep987@gmail.com \nYolo Audubon Society field trips are free and open to the public. Some trips may be limited by number of participants\, if stated in the description. Car-pooling is encouraged\, but all rides are private arrangements between driver and riders. Heavy rain or high winds may cancel any trip.
