2024 Ohio Avian Research Conference
We are happy to announce that the Ohio Avian Research Conference will be returning this year on Saturday, November 16th, 2024. The full-day event will be hosted by the Grange Insurance Audubon Center, in Columbus, OH, and will include a full day of scientific presentations, and a keynote presentation by Dr. Ronald L. Mumme, Professor Emeritus at Allegheny College.
Dr. Mumme will present “How Hooded Warblers live, and thrive, with cowbird nest parasitism.” His major research interests are animal behavior and avian behavioral ecology, and since 2010, his research has focused on the the relationship between plumage pattern and foraging performance in the Hooded Warbler, a species that uses displays of its conspicuous white tail spots to startle potential insect prey and enhance foraging success. Ron’s field work on this species has been conducted at Hemlock Hill Field Station located near Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania.
Important Dates:
- October 25: Deadline for abstracts submissions for oral and poster presentations. Submit your abstract online HERE.
- November 7: Registration deadline. Register online HERE.
We’ll hope you’ll join us for this full day of discussion and networking on the latest avian research and conservation work in Ohio.
