Divas in the treetops: When and why do female birds sing?

Please join us on April 28th to hear Lauryn Benedict’s presentation on female bird song.

Female bird song is more common and widespread than is generally appreciated. In this presentation Dr. Lauryn Benedict will give an overview of female bird song prevalence and variety. She will discuss what we can learn by studying the songs of female birds, and invite citizen scientists to help advance the field.
