– The Morro Coast Audubon Society (MCAS) will host a Zoom community program titled “The Language of Birds” on Monday, Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. The event will be presented by Nathan Pieplow, author of the Peterson Field Guide to Bird Sounds.
Pieplow’s presentation will explore how birds communicate through their sounds, revealing the secret language that birds use to identify themselves and signal their actions. Attendees will learn how to interpret the communications of various birds, such as the “pillow talk” of Red-winged Blackbirds and the food signals of Cliff Swallows.
