On February 8th-9th, 2025, 14 LSNY members trekked On February 8th-9th, 2025, 14 LSNY members trekked to Montauk with Joe DiCostanzo, looking for wintering birds. To our immense delight (clock those smiles), we were also treated to the rare sighting of a Northern Lapwing on a farm near Water Mill, Long Island. What a great trip! A huge thanks to Joe for delivering a magical winter birding experience.

What a fabulous meeting. Our speaker Dr. Christina What a fabulous meeting. Our speaker Dr. Christina P. Riehl who is an Associate Professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University. Her research focuses on the evolution of avian life history and reproductive biology, especially social behavior, mating systems, and parental care. She is particularly interested in tropical birds, which exhibit a greater diversity of breeding behaviors than their temperate-zone counterparts and remain comparatively under-studied. Christina is a Fellow of the American Ornithological Society and serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Ornithology. She received her Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2011 and completed postdoctoral fellowships at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and at the Harvard Society of Fellows before returning to Princeton as a faculty member in 2015.
