Cedar Mathers-Winn a naturalist, biologist, and educator based in Bozeman, MT, will lead us through an exploration of the mind-bending abilities that allow birds to produce some of the most extraordinary music in the world. We will discuss the variety of calls and songs that birds produce, as well as how these sounds are adapted to their specific uses and the lives of the birds who use them. Most of all, this talk is intended to open your ears to the fascinating depth and complexity of sounds that surround us anytime we’re outside.

The in-person meeting will be held Monday, October 13, 2025 at Hope Lutheran Church, 2152 West Graf (off S. 19th). A social begins at 6:30 PM; the program begins at 7:00 PM. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own reusable cups. For virtual attendance, please register at sacajaweaaudubon. org/program. Attendees—whether in person or virtual—are encouraged to share their bird sightings at this and every monthly program.
