May General Meeting

“Louisiana Waterthrushes and What They Can Tell Us About Water Quality” – Presented by Dr. Robert Mulvihill, Ornithologist, National Aviary (Pittsburgh, PA). The now-figurative “canary-in-the-coal mine” once was a literal life-saver for coal miners. Birds have a long and storied history in conservation and environmental protection. Their unique physiology, ubiquitous position in terrestrial and aquatic food chains, and broad familiarity and popularity make birds especially effective indicators of and messengers for environmental problems.
Robert Mulvihill will describe ongoing field research and education by the renowned National Aviary focusing on birds as bioindicators of environment health, especially the Louisiana Waterthrush, a species he has studied for thirty years.
