     The Audubon Naturalist Society's April lecture features
Robert Leberman and Robert Mulvihill, speaking on "Thirty-five 
Years of Learning from Birds", at Baird Auditorium, Museum of 
Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, 10th and Constitution, 
NW, Wash. D.C.  The lecture begins at 6 p.m.  For tickets, call 
202-357-3030.
     
     The talk is about a pilot birdbanding study, using mist
nets, that Robert Leberman began in 1961 at the Carnegie Museum's 
newly established Powdermill Nature Reserve, located in the 
Appalachian Mountains east of Pittsburgh.  Joining Leberman in 
1983 was Robert Mulvihill.  From their data, Leberman and 
Mulvihill have discovered trends in hummingbird migration and 
Ovenbird survival, a dietary basis for plumage colors in Cedar 
Waxwings, and molt characteristics in several other passerines.
