Ithaca College

Discussion: Avian Communication, from Finches to Penguins
February 6
7:30 p.m.

Cornell Lab of Ornithology
159 Sapsucker Woods Road

Admission is free and open to all.

Animals have many ways to get their point across, from displaying brilliant colors to producing a variety of sounds or performing a complex behavior. This is especially true when an animal tries to attract or defend a mate. The talk will discuss a variety of communication strategies briefly and then will focus on the use of song by house finches and the production of ornamental colors by king penguins.
