The fourth meeting of the Skowhegan Bird Club, a Socratic presentation on a wide variety of bird songs with Nathan Pieplow on Thursday, June 10, 6:30PM EST.
At the end, club leaders Ash Ferlito & Pallavi Sen announce the Bird Club’s first project: making birdhouses!
Which bird uses its voice to echolocate inside dark caves? Which bird sings a duet with itself? Which bird sings over a thousand different songs? In this presentation, Nathan Pieplow, author of the Peterson Field Guide to Bird Sounds, will share some of his most remarkable audio from over a decade of recording birds in the field. You will see the sounds as well as hear them, and learn the stories of the birds that made them, and what some of those birds are actually saying.
