Washington Crossing Audubon Society Presents: "Kin Structure and Mating System of the Veery in the Mid-Atlantic Piedmont"
Free, public presentation by Matthew R. Halley to be held on November 16.
Ornithologist Matthew R. Halley of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University will present results of his genetic studies of the mating system of the Veery, carried out by video monitoring of the variability in parental behavior of a population of Veeries in Delaware. This work provided insight into basic questions about kinship, parentage and the social lives of migratory songbirds.
The program will be held in Stainton Hall on the campus of the Pennington School, 112 W. Delaware Ave., Pennington, NJ. Refreshments are served at 7:30 PM and the talk will begin at 8 PM. Additional information at: www.washingtoncrossingaudubon.org. Follow us on Facebook.
