Portrait of male Northern Cardinal by Dr. Jodie Jawor

The Northern Cardinal is one of our most recognizable and charismatic birds. Even John James Audubon praised it, writing, “In richness of plumage, elegance of motion, and strength of song, this species surpasses all its kindred.” In this Zoom program, Dr. Jodie Jawor will talk about the ecology and behavior of cardinals, drawing on her many years of studying them.

Jodie M. Jawor earned her Ph.D. in biology from the University of Dayton. She has worked with Northern Cardinals at various locations across the eastern United States. She has also worked with Pyrrhuloxia, a close relative of cardinals, in New Mexico.
