Linnaean Society General Meeting⁠ Tuesday, Septemb Linnaean Society General Meeting⁠ Tuesday, September 8, 2026 | 7:00 PM ET⁠ ⁠ Who says the boys get all the songs?⁠ ⁠ Join us as Dr. Karan Odom presents A Female Perspective on Birdsong, exploring research that has transformed our understanding of why, how, and when female birds sing. Once thought to be primarily a male behavior, birdsong has a much richer evolutionary story, with female songbirds singing alongside males for millions of years.⁠ ⁠ Dr. Odom will take us from the evolution and function of female birdsong to the genes, hormones, and social interactions behind it, and show how birders everywhere can help document female songs through community science.⁠ ⁠ 📍 The Liederkranz Club, 6 E 87th St, NYC⁠ 🕡 Doors + Cash bar open at 6:30 PM⁠ 🕖 Program begins at 7:00 PM ET⁠ 🎟️ Free and open to the public. Zoom registration required.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Learn more on our website.⁠ ⁠ #LinnaeanSociety #LSNY #FemaleBirdSong #Birdsong #Ornithology #BirdScience #CommunityScience #BirdingNYC #StayCurious⁠

As usual, they upped the ante by creating a super cool list of ways to donate, including: Nest, Adult, Young Combinations, Birds with Any Yellow Plumage, Blue/Red Color War, and more. Such a creative group!
