SUMMARY:COMMUNITY: Holland Audubon Club: No Bird Brains Here Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Holland Audubon Club Meeting \nSept 8th at Hope Church\, 7pm (6:30 social)\, 77 W. 11th\, St. Holland MI \n“No Birdbrains Here: The Latest on Bird Learning\, Instinct and Intelligence” by Susan Schneider\, PhD A fascinating thing has been revealed: birds can learn from consequences\, as we and many other species can. Baby chicks learn to peck accurately\, wild mockingbirds learn to recognize individual people\, and pigeons have learned to categorize art and music. Even instinctive behaviors like imprinting can be more flexible than scientists used to think\, and songbird song appears particularly malleable. \nJoin Holland Audubon Club at our season opener as we explore bird learning and intelligence\, from everyday foraging\, to learning through observing\, to tool use. Susan will share her keen knowledge on how such adaptability may be critical as wild birds attempt to adjust to the many threats they face today and how scientists also take advantage of this powerful learning ability to help save endangered species. A poignant\, timely program you’ll find intriguing and not to be missed. A Behavioral and Bio-psychologist\, Dr. Schneider is an expert on learning principles\, with many academic publications. \nShe’s also an avid birder and field trip leader. A Kalamazoo Audubon Board member\, Schneider has served on the boards of four Audubon chapters and been president of two. Her award-winning book\, The Science of Consequences\, covers basic learning principles\, their role in nature-nurture relations\, and their broad range of applications. It was a selection of the Scientific American Book Club.\nA member of the psychology faculty at Western Michigan University\, Schneider is currently focused on applying learning principles to the climate crisis. \nhollandaudubon@gmail.com \n\nThis event was submitted to our community calendar page by an outside organizer and is not a Michigan Audubon event.

After graduating\, Hannah relocated to Colorado\, South Dakota\, and then Arkansas\, birding and hiking in many natural areas before finally relocating back to her hometown of Holland\, Michigan. This is her first presentation for HAC and is excited to share what she’s learned. \n\nThis event was submitted to our community calendar page by an outside organizer and is not a Michigan Audubon event.

SUMMARY:COMMUNITY: Holland Audubon Club Meeting - Misadventures of a Wannabe Wildlife Photographer

Come and enjoy some fantastic glimpses of these amazing creatures\, and the vistas we’ve appreciated over the years in our beautiful state of Michigan. Marty thoroughly enjoys returning year after year to some special places that offer the best shots and most of the time he’s rewarded with wonderful pictures he’s shared with us; some images you’ve seen in our newsletter over the years have been from him. Join us as he cracks open his vault to show us many of his greatest bird pictures from 2025 and beyond. \nA Holland native\, Marty earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology from Grand Valley then did some graduate work in Zoology at Eastern Michigan University\, where he briefly taught Zoology as an assistant. He ultimately found his calling in the field of Quality as a Quality Engineer and Quality Manager in Automotive and Aerospace manufacturing for about 35 years. Marty’s first love of Biology was never far\, however\, and\, drawn to nature photography\, got his first SLR in college\, and\, honing his skills over the years\, broadened his experience\, especially since 2020 when forced into early retirement due to Covid. The main subjects of his “focus” are birds and wildlife\, wildflowers and macro work. \n\nThis event was submitted to our community calendar page by an outside organizer and is not a Michigan Audubon event.
