SUMMARY:Monthly Program - October 2022
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE THE NEW TIME FOR THIS PROGRAM – 7:00pm\nEVOLUTION OF VISUAL SYSTEM AND COLOR DIVERSITY IN BIRDS\n \nBirds can see an astonishing diversity of colors that span not only the human visible spectrum but into the ultraviolet as well. They can also display these colors in their plumage. This array of hues is produced by various mechanisms and is perceived by birds differently de-pending on the sensitivity of each bird’s visual system. Despite our wealth of knowledge on bird coloration and vision\, few large-scale comparative studies have linked the evolution of the avian visual system and the colors birds produce. Using genomic data\, 3D models of museum specimens\, and the genetic relationships of all bird species\, Whitney examines how the visual system evolves across the bird tree of life. Understanding the link between avian color perception and the plumage hues birds produce\, we can gain a better understanding of how birds evolved such an incredible rainbow of colors. \nWhitney Tsai Nakashima is a PhD Candidate in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department at the University of California\, Los Angeles\, and a Research Associate at the Moore Laboratory of Zoology at Occidental College. Her work focuses on using historical museum collections and modern genomic and analytical techniques to better under-stand the evolutionary processes that generate and maintain avian diversity. In addition to research\, she is involved in museum and STEM-based outreach programs to support young women and underrepresented youth in STEM fields. \nThis program will be in a hybrid format: in-person at the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology\, and also online via Zoom. \nIn Person\nMasks will be required\, and the in person group will be limited to a maximum of thirty to allow for social distancing purposes\, so please RSVP to the Programs Coordinator to reserve a seat. \nVia Zoom\nIf you are sharing photos\, you will be able to narrate your show during the Zoom meeting. To attend this meeting\, use this link (https://zoom.us/j/6155249106) at the meeting time.

SUMMARY:Monthly Program - April 2022
DESCRIPTION:BIRD MIGRATION IN THE SAN GABRIEL MOUNTAINS\nWith Dr. Ryan Terrill\nDr. Ryan Terrill\nBear Divide is a narrow pass in the San Gabriel Mountains\, just outside of Los Angeles\, that is home to spectacular dawn flights of migrating birds in the spring. With thousands of migrants funneling through such a narrow corridor\, this is a unique biological phenomenon. In 2021\, the Moore Lab of Zoology at Occidental College began a regular count to quantify the numbers and identities of birds migrating through Bear Divide. Join Dr. Ryan Terrill to learn about the status of spring migration across the Divide\, and how you can help. \nCurrently working at the Moore Lab of Zoology at Occidental College\, Dr. Terrill received his B.S. from UC Santa Cruz and his PhD from Louisiana State University. He has studied the evolution of bird molt\, an incredible adaptation that allows birds to drop and regrow worn feathers each year\, and as the lead on the Mexican Bird Resurvey Project\, he used big biodiversity data and genomic tools to understand how a century of human-caused change has impacted bird communities. Dr. Terrill is one of the top experts on local birds and serves on the California Bird Records Committee\, the group which compiles the state bird list and rules on new records. \nTo attend this meeting\, use this link: https://zoom.us/j/6155249106

SUMMARY:Monthly Program - March 2022
DESCRIPTION:CREATING AN EVOLVING BACKYARD HABITAT\nWith Don and Chrystal Klabunde\nOver the past 35 years\, the Klabunde’s have worked to create a comfortably natural environment in their half acre of rocky clay hillside in Simi Valley. Many bird\, mammal and reptile species\, visit them regularly to shelter\, nest\, and feed. To enhance the productivity of this backyard habitat\, they’ve gravitated toward more and more native plants from Douglas Irises to a magnificent Valley Oak. On March 7th\, they’ll talk about what has grown successfully and what hasn’t\, and they’ll share pictures of the birds that inhabit their yard now\, including the ones that have come to nest there. \nDon and Chrystal Klabunde are retired physicist and animator respectively. They are long-time active members of CVAS\, both serving on the board. \nTo attend this meeting\, use this link: https://zoom.us/j/6155249106

SUMMARY:Monthly Program - February 2022
DESCRIPTION:NESTING IN THE CITY\nWith Daniel S. Cooper PhD\nDan Cooper\nBird populations\, particularly in urban areas\, are in constant flux\, with some species adapting and thriving\, and others declining.  Daniel S. Cooper Ph.D. will describe two studies he recently conducted as part of his dissertation for his Ph.D. from UCLA (Biology\, 2020). First\, he examined patterns of urban tolerance in nesting raptors of the upper Malibu Creek watershed along the Ventura-Los Angeles county border between Thousand Oaks and Calabasas. Here he found major changes in the distribution of nesting raptors since earlier surveys were conducted in the 1970s and 80s\, with certain species becoming very urban-tolerant\, and others not. He also investigated the role of ecological and behavioral traits that maybe accounting for distributional shifts in more than 50 species of nesting birds in the Los Angeles area\, using two datasets separated by over 20 years. He will discuss trends in species distribution and abundance\, explore traits that appear to confer success in urban areas\, and offer predictions as to which species – or types of species – will continue to thrive in urban and urbanizing Southern California. He will also discuss species that declined during this time period\, and offer suggestions for their conservation. \nDaniel S. Cooper is a lifelong resident of Southern California\, and is regarded as an expert on the birds of the region. Through research and independent consulting\, he has spent more than 20 years conducting surveys and analyzing bird populations from the deserts to the coast\, including rare and protected species such as the California Gnatcatcher and the coastal Cactus Wren. Dan has served on many environmental advisory boards and committees\, including most recently on the Oak Park – Park and Recreation Planning Committee. Since 2012\, he and his family have made their home in Oak Park\, where he enjoys the natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities\, even if his two kids don’t. \nTo attend this meeting\, use this link: https://zoom.us/j/6155249106
