What Birds Reveal About Floodplain Function
|
Thank you to everyone who tuned in to our very first virtual Sips 'n' Science pub talk on October 13, 2020! Below is the full recorded presentation, ready for viewing at your leisure!
CORRECTION: The speaker wishes to apologize for incorrectly responding to a question about the natural history of yellow-billed cuckoos: they are NOT nest parasites (i.e., they do not lay their eggs in the nests of other bird species). In the west, Yellow-billed cuckoos typically nest in willows along streams and rivers, and close to cottonwoods that they use for foraging. They lay 1-5 eggs in a loose stick nest built by both parents.
