Join us for an engaging talk, “Why Birds Sing, Why It Matters,” with Rindy Anderson, PhD, as she answers these questions and more on a journey into the lives of animals and the signals they use to fight, flirt, coexist and survive.

Dr. Anderson developed her love of bird song and field ornithology while earning her PhD at the University of Miami. She honed her skills in bioacoustics analysis and animal cognition testing while doing postdoctoral work at Duke University. In her fascinating presentation on Thursday, March 7, 2:00pm, at the Downtown Library, Dr. Anderson will share her passion for animal behavior.
