The next North Shore Audubon Society (NSAS) general meeting will be held via
Zoom on Tuesday, February 22, 2022, at 7pm.
Our presentation will be "Birds and Bogs: Climate Change and Life at the Edge
of the Boreal” by Michale Glennon.
Free admission.
All are invited - you do not need to be a NSAS member to attend.
New York’s Adirondack Park is a breeding ground for numerous migratory
bird species, many declining.
A unique component of the Adirondacks are the birds inhabiting the boreal
peatlands. Climate change is now widely recognized as a major threat to
biodiversity. As the southern range extent for this ecosystem type and many of
its avian inhabitants, the park is a valuable location to monitor changes in
bird populations. Findings from long-term monitoring of boreal birds in the
Adirondacks suggests their responses to climate change may be mediated by land
use patterns, highlight the importance of a patchy habitat distribution, and
raise important implications for conservation strategies.
Michale is the Science Director for the Paul Smith’s College Adirondack
Watershed Institute, where she serves a leading role in the ecological research
conducted in the Adirondacks. Her research includes the intersection between
land use management and ecological integrity, focused on the impacts of low
density, exurban development. She has also worked on impacts of ski area
development on Bicknell’s thrush, a migrant of high conservation priority, on
the effects of recreation patterns on birds and mammals, and understanding the
lowland boreal birds in the Adirondack Park and the potential impacts of
climate change.
Michale serves on the advisory boards of multiple organizations. She lives
in Ray Brook with her husband Scott, as well as 2 teenagers, 2 horses, 2 goats,
and 1 cat.
