[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club February meeting
The next meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club will be on Monday, February 13, 2022, 7:30 pm*** at theCornell Lab of Ornithology.***Please Note:As of February 2023, one of our standing agenda items -- the Reading of the List -- will be reordered to take place at 7:15, prior to the regular business meeting, to safeguard the speakers' time while retaining a long-standing tradition during the more "social" and interactive time ahead of the business meeting. Ken Rosenberg, Diane Morton & Ken Kemphues will present, "A Birding Tour of Morocco". The three of them, along with seven other participants, experienced a memorable birding tour of Morocco last spring. Their exploration went from the city of Marrakech to the High Atlas Mountains, Middle Atlas, plains, Sahara Desert, and the Atlantic coast, each area with birds specialized to their unique habitats. In addition to North African endemic species such as the Northern Bald Ibis, Pharaoh Eagle-Owl, and Cream-colored Courser, they found migrant songbirds, over a dozen species of larks, and several delightful Sandgrouse species. Come join us as they share their experience in this beautiful country — birds, vibrant culture, and varied landscapes. About the speakers: Ken Rosenberg is a lifelong birder and attended Cornell University as an undergraduate. After receiving his PhD from Louisiana State University, he returned to Cornell. He has recently retired from his joint position as an Senior Scientist with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the American Bird Conservancy, where his focus was on the conservation status and distribution of bird populations, particularly migratory birds. He is the lead author of the 2019 paper published in Science with the staggering report that nearly 3 billion North American birds have been lost since 1970.Ken Kemphues and Diane Morton are active members of the Cayuga Bird Club; Ken is the Cayuga Bird Club’s treasurer and Diane is a past president and current director of the club. They are both retired from Cornell’s Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics where Ken was a Professor and Diane a Senior Research Associate. They met as post-docs while at the University of Colorado, and have been married for 38 years. They both enjoy leading bird club field trips and traveling to see birds. Cayuga Bird Club meetings start at 7:30 pm on the second Monday of each month, September through June, and are free and open to the public. In-person meetings at the Lab of Ornithology start with cookies at 7:00pm and club business at 7:30pm, followed by the speaker's presentation which ends by 9:00pm. We will attempt to make presentations available virtually, either as a recording posted a few days later, or via a Zoom meeting. Some meetings may be virtual by Zoom only, or may shift to Zoom if the Covid situation warrants. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club - February meeting 2/14/22 7:30 pm
Next Monday, February 14, will be the next monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club. Lilly Briggs, PhD, will be giving her presentation, "What is Finca Cantaros Environmental Association? - And how is it supporting bird conservation in Coto Brus, Costa Rica?"Monday, February 14, 2022, 7:30–9 pm Register in advance for the webinar/meeting: https://tinyurl.com/cbc2022-02 Finca Cántaros Environmental Association (FCEA) is a nonprofit environmental organization founded and directed by Lilly Briggs, PhD, former Postdoctoral Associate with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Established in Canada, FCEA is physically based in a southern rural county of Costa Rica called Coto Brus, where Lilly and her team strive to achieve their mission of "creating community and inspiring action through environmental education." FCEA's many environmental education projects address a variety of themes—from gender to bats to nature connection through art—as well as bird conservation. This talk will focus on how FCEA supports bird conservation through the Cornell Lab's K-12 Education International curriculum, tree-growing initiatives, and research collaborations such as the Motus Wildlife Tracking System. Lilly Briggs did her PhD in the Department of Natural Resources at Cornell University with a focus on environmental education and the human dimensions of conservation, followed by a Postdoctoral Associate position at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. During her Masters of Environmental Studies (at York University, Toronto), PhD, and postdoctoral years, she collaborated with the Cornell Lab to adapt its K-12 environmental education curriculum for Latin American audiences, and expand the program's reach through educator workshops and research. Her involvement with the development of BirdSleuth International led her to Coto Brus, Costa Rica, where she became enamored with the birds, people and a special reforested property called Finca Cántaros. She bought Finca Cántaros and moved there permanently in 2019 and converted it into Finca Cántaros Environmental Association in 2020 (https://fincacantaros.org/).Cayuga Bird Club meetings start at 7:30 pm on the second Monday of each month, September through June, and are open to the public. Each virtual meeting will begin with the speaker's presentation, followed by club business.

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club February meeting
The Cayuga Bird Club's February meeting will be this coming Monday, Feb. 10 at 7:30 p.m.Come hear our speaker, Andrea Patterson giving her presentation - A Bird in the Hand. Braddock Bay Bird Observatory (BBBO) was founded in1986 with the purpose of studying stopover ecology on the south shore of Lake Ontario. Operating with an all-volunteer staff, BBBO has developed a 30-year data set consisting of nearly 300,000 individual banding records. In 2016, BBBO launched a new initiative to bring the Motus Wildlife Tracking System to upstate New York. Tiny radio transmitters carried by local or migrating birds are detected by stationary receivers deployed across the landscape,giving researchers an unprecedented window into avian movement at scales from local to hemispheric. Individually and collectively, these banding and digital records tell fascinating stories of bird behavior, movement and survival across an increasingly challenging landscape. Come hear Andrea Patterson, the Director of BBBO, talk about the joyful moments, surprising revelations, and occasional heartbreak of birding in the hand. Doors open at 7 pm, refreshments at 7:15, meeting starts at 7:30 . As usual, this meeting is open to the public so please join us!! Stay tuned for further details of a dinner with the speaker before the meeting.

[cayugabirds-l] Cayuga Bird Club February meeting and speaker dinner
Next Monday, February 13, will be the next monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club. Jennifer Walsh-Emond, PhD, an NSF postdoctoral fellow in the Fuller Evolutionary Biology program at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, will give her presentation, "How Adaptations to Tidal Marshes Shape Differences between Saltmarsh and Nelson's Sparrows: Lessons from the Field and Laboratory". The harsh conditions found in tidal marshes make them suitable breeding homes for only a few bird species that are particularly well adapted to their challenging environmental conditions. In my work, I use salt marsh-adapted sparrows as a kind of natural experiment to explore how bird species adapt to new habitats. Saltmarsh and Nelson's sparrows are two recently diverged, hybridizing tidal marsh specialists that inhabit marshes along the coast of New England. Although these birds appear superficially similar, they have fascinating differences in habitat affinity, morphology, genetics, and behavior that reflect their associations with salt marsh environments over evolutionary time. These birds are increasingly threatened by the loss of salt marshes caused by habitat alteration and rising sea levels; my work helps place these threats in a broader evolutionary context by showing how these species likely arose through their different adaptations to coastal-upland habitats, which in turn led to their reproductive isolation.The meeting will be held at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. Doors open at 7:00 pm and there will be cookies and conversation starting at 7:15. Bird club business begins at 7:30 pm followed by the presentation. All are welcome.Members are invited to join Jennifer for dinner at Aladdin's in Collegetown just before the meeting at 5:30 p.m. Please RSVP to Colleen Richards at cl...@juno.com by noon Monday so reservations can be made.Colleen RichardsCorresponding SecretaryCayuga Bird Club This Simple Step To Flawless Skin Gundry MD http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/589d3519b5c0c35197837st03duc -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
