Changes in bird communities around Ventura County over 25 years: an online presentation on June 10th
Dr. Daniel Cooper of the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History will discuss changes in bird populations in the Conejo Valley and LA area since 1995. This will be the second talk of COSF’s Speaker Series for 2021. His presentation will be on Thursday June 10th at 6:30 pm. We will send instructions on how to join the Zoom webinar to people who sign up (how to do this is described below) the day before the event. The number of attendees is limited so we recommend you sign up immediately!
Dr. Cooper has investigated the role of ecological and behavioral traits for more than 50 species of nesting birds in the Los Angeles area since 1995. Bird populations in urban areas are in constant flux, with some species adapting and thriving while others decline. He will discuss trends, explore traits that appear to confer success, and offer predictions as to which will continue to thrive. He will also propose conservation steps for those species that are declining.
Daniel S. Cooper, Ph.D. is an expert on the birds of Southern California. He is President of Cooper Ecological Monitoring and a researcher at the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History. He has spent more than 20 years conducting surveys and analyzing bird populations from the deserts to the coast, including rare and protected species such as the California Gnatcatcher and the coastal Cactus Wren. Dan and his family live in Oak Park where he enjoys the natural outdoor beauty.
