[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Webinar

[Tyler Cash]

Hello CO Birders,

Please join us next Thursday, May 19th from 5pm - 6pm MT for a webinar with 
Bird Conservancy's Private Lands Wildlife Biologist Anna Greenberg to learn 
about the stewardship work she does in the San Luis Valley.

See below for the webinar description! *Click HERE to register!

Cheers,
Tyler Cash

Stewardship and Conservation in the San Luis Valley
Thursday, May 19th from 5pm - 6pm MT

Rivers know no property boundaries, and that’s created an ongoing challenge 
in the San Luis Valley of Colorado. Channels, like that of the Rio Grande 
river in the SLV, are meant to wander, meander, and form anything but a 
straight line. These processes create a variety of habitats for fish, 
amphibians, mammals, and, of course, birds! However, given land ownership, 
property boundaries, water rights, and agricultural production, it’s harder 
and harder for humans to work with a wandering river. There’s a careful 
balance between happy humans, a happy river, and happy habitat.

Join Bird Conservancy's Private Lands Wildlife Biologist Anna Greenberg on 
Thursday, May 19th at 5pm MST to learn about this balance and how folks in 
the SLV are working towards its implementation.

The program fee is $3 to attend this webinar.

In order to provide equitable access to all, complimentary tickets are 
available at no cost to the participant thanks to support from generous 
donors.

*Click HERE to register! 
*


After registering you will receive a confirmation email containing the ZOOM 
link to be used the day of the webinar.

[cobirds] Thursday, May 12th - Fort Collins Audubon Society hosts Dr. Sheila Turbek for "The Bird Genoscape Project"

[Andrew Monson]

*Fort Collins Audubon* invites you to join a* virtual (and in-person watch 
party) program* featuring *Dr. Sheila Turbek*, postdoctoral researcher in 
Dr. Kristen Ruegg’s lab at Colorado State University. Dr. Turbek will be 
presenting* “The Bird Genoscape Project: Harnessing the power of genomics 
to advance migratory bird conservation” *this *Thursday, May 12th, 2022; 
Announcements at 7:00pm and Program at 7:20pm.*

*Virtual attendees: Enter the following link on your web browser at or 
before 7 p.m. and follow the instructions to join the meeting virtually: *
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86537729303 
*We will be enabling live closed-captioning for Zoom attendees to utilize 
as they wish.*

*In-person attendees: We will host a watch party at the Fort Collins Senior 
Center (1200 Raintree Dr). *

"According to recent research, North American birds have plummeted by 
nearly 30% since 1970, a staggering population decline that corresponds to 
almost three billion birds. The Bird Genoscape Project is a 
multi-university initiative to map the population-specific routes of 
migratory birds using genomic tools.. This talk will highlight some of the 
ways in which the project applies genomic tools to connect migratory bird 
populations across time and space and understand how populations may 
respond to future environmental stressors.

Dr. Sheela Turbek is a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Kristen Ruegg’s lab 
at Colorado State University. Her doctoral research at the University of 
Colorado Boulder focused on the role of mate choice and migratory behavior 
in generating and maintaining avian diversity. Lately, she is interested in 
using genomic tools to advance the conservation of threatened avian 
species. 

JOIN US for this information program meeting. It is free and the Public is 
welcomed!

[cobirds] FOS fledgling

[charles...@gmail.com]

A fledged Horned Lark was chasing it's parent around the short grass 
prairie area on the Auto Loop at Rocky Mountain Arsenal May 7.  Horned 
Larks have been there all winter and territorial for the last month at 
least.  2 of 3 eagle nests have 4-6 week old chicks.  The northern most 
nest can be seen from the Auto Tour.  We watched a parent shed a prairie 
dog and feed the young.

[cobirds] The Other Bugs with Boulder County Audubon

[Sydney Rayl]

*Flies, Bees, and Spiders, Oh My!*

Join us *Tuesday, May 24* to learn about some species of exquisite insects 
and bugs that we often take for granted: wasps, flies, beetles, bees, and 
spiders among others. Guided by Scott Severs, we’ll learn their ecological 
roles and where to find them. We’ll also spend a little time on photography 
tips and tricks that bring out their natural beauty.

Scott Severs is the senior wildlife biologist for the City of Longmont 
Parks, Open Space, and Trails, implementing the goals of conservation in 
the City’s wildlife management plan. He has previously collected avian data 
for wind and solar projects, as well as the primary bird distribution data 
for Soapstone Ranch Open Space in Fort Collins. In the summertime he can be 
found photographing beautiful insects along a trail. 

*When*: Tuesday, May 24, 7:15 - 8:45 pm

*Where*: Online via Zoom. The meeting link will be provided *here* 
 the day of the 
event. We encourage you to join the meeting a few minutes early to avoid 
any technical difficulties.

[cobirds] CO Birding Challenge this Past Weekend

[BCO gal]

A big thank you to all the participants and donors in Colorado Field 
Ornithologists’ Colorado Birding Challenge. We’re still processing the 
eBird Trip reports and the donations. But as of right now, your efforts 
mean more than $35,000 has been raised! If you pledged to pay by check, you 
still have time to make it count toward the fundraising goal. Just mail it 
to:

Colorado Field Ornithologists, ATTN: COBC, PO Box 1568, Loveland, CO 80539

Any donations collected by this Sunday, May 15th will count toward this 
fundraiser.

We’ll report final numbers soon. Winners will be announced and honored at 
the CFO annual meeting on May 21, 2022 in Pueblo, CO, during the annual CFO 
Convention: https://cobirds.org/current-convention/

This year’s Birding Challenge fundraiser will help support the Gunnison 
Basin-Sagebrush Ecosystem Alliance's (GB-SEA’s) cheatgrass removal and 
sagebrush habitat restoration. In addition to Gunnison Sage-Grouse 
recovery, this will also support habitat recovery for other sagebrush 
dependent species including Brewer’s Sparrow, Sagebrush Sparrow, Sage 
Thrasher, Green-tailed Towhee and Vesper Sparrow.

Would you like to support this critically important restoration effort? You 
can donate here: https://charity.pledgeit.org/c/hgqOlXNfUt/contribute/select 

Thanks and enjoy that Spring birding!
