SUMMARY:The Dawn Chorus - Secrets of Spring Birdsong
DESCRIPTION:The Dawn Chorus—the surge of birdsong that greets early spring mornings—is one of nature’s most remarkable performances. In this engaging talk\, biologist Sandra Milligan invites you to explore the rich soundscape of Campbell River’s breeding birds without having to rise before dawn. Discover who is singing\, why birds vocalize\, and more about their breeding behaviour. From dramatic examples of sexual selection such as extravagant feathers and vocal mimicry to the often-overlooked beauty of familiar birds like starlings and robins\, this presentation reveals the surprising complexity behind the songs we hear every spring and their role in breeding.  \nAbout the Presenter:\nSandra Milligan is a full-time Biology Instructor at North Island College and a passionate educator with a deep connection to the natural world. For the past 17 years\, she has led intertidal walks at Willow Point Reef\, inspiring students of all ages to explore and better understand coastal ecosystems. \nSince moving to Campbell River nearly 20 years ago\, Sandra has been actively involved in local environmental initiatives. She helped establish the Discovery Passage Aquarium\, served as President of the Greenways Land Trust\, and was part of the Beaver Lodge Trust Society\, and continues to advocate for urban trees and cycling infrastructure. \nA dedicated naturalist and bird watcher—or as she prefers\, a bird listener—Sandra is especially fascinated by bird communication. She is fascinated with how birds use complex vocalizations to share information\, revealing a depth of intelligence and social awareness that science is only beginning to fully understand. \nSandra is passionate about sharing her knowledge and her love of Campbell River’s natural environment with both residents and visitors. \nDate: Tuesday\, June 9 from 6:00 – 7:30pm\nLocation: Museum at Campbell River\nCost: $10 per person; $8 for seniors and museum members.
