On Tuesday, November 14, Williams will give a digital slide show presentation of the Smithsonian study and discuss the connections between migratory songbirds, shade-grown coffee, and army ants. He’ll give some background on Panama’s complex tropical ecosystems and what it’s like to do research in the country. Spicing up the presentation will be photos of the spectacular tropical rain forest scenery and the birds studied, a video of army-ant swarms, and a sample of shade-grown coffee from Finca Hartmann, supplied by Central Roasters of Sperryville.
The free presentation, which is suitable for all ages, will be at 7 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Library.
