Humpback whales are the maestros of the marine world. Their “songs” actually develop and change over time – an example of cultural evolution in a non-human species. Katy Payne and Ann Warde of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Bioacoustics Research Program have teamed up for this audio-visual presentation during which they will introduce the audience to whales, the sounds they make, and the concept of deep listening.

Our September Meeting will feature an Open House.  Barb Cole, club member and  licensed wildlife rehabilitator, will bring a rescued animal to the September Open House meeting. At the meeting, we encourage members to show their support for local wildlife rehabilitators by helping to collect donations of rehabilitation supplies. Suggested donations include: small coffee filters, baby food, powdered milk, old blankets and towels, dog food, and paper towels.

Meetings are open to the public.  The talk will include a question & answer session and light refreshments.
