Since then, she has spent time in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Colorado, learning about falcon behavior and how to band raptors; today she is routinely consulted about suitable placement of osprey nesting platforms. With the help of Mike Maurer in 1989 she initiated a nest box project for American Kestrels in southeastern Massachusetts on cranberry grower-owned properties. In 2000, she spearheaded the Raptor Retrofit Project to prevent osprey electrocutions on cranberry grower properties. Her newest project focuses on developing better management practices to protect raptors at landfills. Please join us as Joey shares her extensive research and experiences with American Kestrels, highlighting details about the birds’ feeding and habitat, plus descriptions of her nest box monitoring and what she has found in them through the years (including things that were not kestrels). Joey will offer insight and speculation about why these small falcons are in a rapid population decline. Her presentation will include a live male Merlin, a falcon similar in size to a Kestrel.

Seeley is a Professor in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at Cornell University, where he teaches courses in animal behavior and does research on the functional organization of honey bee colonies. In recognition of his scientific work, he has received the Senior Scientist Prize of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, and been elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His interest in bees began in high school; ever since, he has been probing the inner workings of the honey bee colony. His talk will examine swarm intelligence in a natural system that has evolved this ability—a swarm of honey bees solving the life-or-death problem of finding a new home. Using a process that includes collective fact-finding, open sharing of information, vigorous debating, and fair voting by the hundreds of bees in a swarm that function as nest-site scouts, honey bees accomplish amazing things. Tom Seeley will show how these incredible insects have much to teach us when it comes to achieving collective wisdom and effective group decision making. Make sure this talk is on your calendar!<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>Friday, April 6th<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>Birds of Cape Cod & Beyond (Vern Laux)<br>7:30 pm at Falmouth High School<br>E.

Vern has watched birds all over the world: the tropics, Antarctica, and Martha’s Vineyard, where he discovered the famous Red-footed Falcon several summers ago. He is the resident land manager and ornithologist for the Linda Loring Nature Center on Nantucket and the author of Bird News—Vagrants and Visitors on a Peculiar Island.
