SUMMARY:Visualizing Bird Song: Ram Ramamurthy
DESCRIPTION:Please join Washtenaw Bird & Nature Alliance for a talk specifically focusing on the use of technology to visualize bird songs and calls. It is akin to translating what we hear into a version of “sheet music”. This talk will be an introduction to the area of Bioacoustics\, the science of studying bird vocalizations. We will learn why birds sing\, how birds sing\, type of bird vocalizations\,  and birds’ ability to learn vocalizations. We will show how our recordings with smartphones can be transformed into “sheet music”! \nA 2022 survey shows that 96 million of us enjoy watching birds\, either in our backyard\, at a local park or on a trail. Birds are everywhere\, and watching birds gives a workout to our body and mind. Birding connects us to the environment\, gives us an opportunity to sharpen our identification skills\, and this enhances our mental wellbeing. Humans are fascinated with the diverse colors\, the mystery of long-haul flights\, and wide variations in bird song. \nSpeaker: Ram Ramamurthy \nLocation: Ann Arbor District Library – Downtown Branch \nThis program will be live streamed on YouTube at this link (click on the “LIVE” link appearing on our channel when the program is in session)\nhttps://www.youtube.com/@washtenawbirdandnaturealliance
