4 October 2016
"The Secret Lives of Hooded Warblers"
Time: 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm
Location: Porter Hall Room 102, Ohio University, Athens

Parking: The parking lot east of Walter Hall and by Peden Stadium are open to the public after 5pm. – Also, Bill Clinton’s campaign visit to College Green should not be an issue. It starts at 11:00 am and everything should be back to normal by late afternoon. 
"Ever wonder how a bird build its nest, what a female bird does while incubating eggs, or what a parent bird feeds its chick? In the Secret Lives of Hooded Warblers, Dr. Kelly Williams will share some sneak peaks into the lives, and death, of Hooded Warblers during the breeding season. We will see a female engineer in action as she constructs her nest with leaves, grass and spider silk. We will see and discuss some of the challenges of raising hooded warbler kids and the work that goes into rearing the nascent young until fledging."
Kelly Williams earned her M.S. in Environmental Studies in 2008 and Ph.D. in Biology in 2013 from Ohio University. She is currently a Lecturer in Biological Sciences at OU, teaching a variety of courses from Human Anatomy to Field Ecology. She has been a US Geological Survey licensed and North American Banding Council Master Bird Bander since 2002. Her research focuses on avian ecology with an emphasis in behavioral and physiological ecology. She has studied the breeding biology of Hooded Warblers since 2010. In 2015, her research team began video recording parental behavior at the nest to better understand how individual and environmental variation affects the acquisition and allocation of resources.
