DuPage Birding Club

Join us for our October DBC Meeting where we will hear from Adrianna Yoder, a Ph.D. student at the University of Missouri in St. Louis. Addy started her ongoing research at DePaul University two years ago studying Red-headed Woodpeckers and oak reproduction in the Chicagoland region. For this research, she was awarded an Illinois Ornithological Society grant funded by the DuPage Birding Club in Spring 2023.

Addy has presented her work at several conferences across the U.S. and Canada. Previously, Addy earned her bachelor's degree from Case Western Reserve University in Biology and Biochemistry, and during her time, she discovered her passion for studying animal behavior. We will hear the details of her research, which centers on the woodpecker’s tree cavity use
and the role of acorns on their overwintering behavior in northeastern Illinois.

We hope that you can join us for this hybrid meeting on Thursday, October 10, at 7:00 pm. Adrianna will speak to the group via Zoom. To register for the virtual meeting, click
