Hi Jim annd All, I heard her on an interview a few weeks ago, but I did not put two and two ( twit to whoo ) until I saw a piece on her in the Globe and Mail. She was super informative and easy to listen to. While at first glance some may not beleive that such a subject can be interesting, I assure you all it was. One of the thoughts that's been playing over in my mind was how the same species of bird, say chickadees, have changed their song ( umm...the tone? the decibel? ) if they live in the city (to compete with city noise) compared to chickadees in the country. And how if a country chickadee met a city chickadee ( perhaps at the local water hole ) , they wouldn't mate because the songs would effectively be different to each other. So......we are living in a time where species are evolving ( as I guess everything is ) and we can see some those noticable apects already. Anywho, I'm going to pick up her book for sure.
