Join Delaware-Otsego Audubon Society IN PERSON on Friday, April 21, 2023 at 7:30 p.m. at the Elm Park United Methodist Church, 401 Chestnut Street, Oneonta for a spring program with Special Guest, Casey Coomes.

Climate change poses a huge threat to the persistence of songbirds in North America—in fact, we have already lost almost 30% of our species in the last 50 years. During her presentation, Casey will discuss how heat can influence bird survival, reproduction, and even the songs they sing!
