SUMMARY:Red Barn Speaker Series - Nature In Focus: Images of Flora\, Fauna and Landscapes of New England
DESCRIPTION:2024 Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Bob Fleck\, Author/Photographer \n“In all things of Nature\, there is something of the marvelous.” ~ Aristotle \nThe selection of photographic images to be presented in this lecture portray the artist’s interpretation of Aristotle’s ancient words. Curated from photographs taken by Bob Fleck over the past decade\, the overarching theme of the lecture is “finding the marvelous” available to us to witness in the natural world and bringing it into focus via photography and patience (plus a little luck!). We need not travel beyond New Hampshire and New England to be in awe. \nAs we ponder the images presented\, we will search for the details\, the “marvelous”\, the overall beauty that abounds in nature. Many instances presented by the photographer were but a moment in time\, yet a memory forever. The presentation represents such a small fraction of what is discoverable\, if we only take the time to look and see (and sometimes lucky enough to capture) “something of the marvelous”. Bob will also discuss some of his equipment and how some of the images were captured. Questions are encouraged throughout the session. \nMany of the images from his book\, “Seasons At A New England Bog – A Photographic Essay”\, as well as many other examples of the “marvels” of nature will be shared during the lecture/discussion. \nA musical montage of pages from the book will start shortly prior to the main presentation as people are arriving. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and inscribing by Bob. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage. Download a map here. Note that this is now a private residence and there is no bathroom access. \nThank you to our generous sponsors: John S. Jordan Design PLLC and the Hebron Conservation Committee. \nPhoto: Pink Lady’s Slippers by Bob Fleck.

SUMMARY:Red Barn Speaker Series - Story Cores: Tales Trees Tell in a Changing New England Landscape
DESCRIPTION:2024 Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Dr. Shelly Rayback\, University of Vermont \nIn their rings\, trees record and store information that reveal to us important details about their environment and our landscapes over decades to centuries. In New England\, trees such as eastern hemlock and red spruce have recorded information about changing temperature and rainfall since the 1500s. Tree rings also tell us how trees and forests have responded to and recovered from problems like acid rain and will respond to rising greenhouse gases. Come learn more about these story cores which includes trees that were sampled at Paradise Point! \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage. Download a map here.

SUMMARY:Red Barn Speaker Series - Entomology for the Masses: Introducing the Insects
DESCRIPTION:2024 Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Dr. Pam Hunt\, NH Audubon \nThis talk is a celebration of everything with six legs. Insects are by far the most abundant and diverse group of organisms on earth\, with by some estimates well over a million species – or slightly over half of ALL species known to live on our planet. And yet what do we REALLY know about these critters? Some of the things insects do are stranger than fiction\, but rest assured that they are doing it all the time right under our noses. For example\, did you know that male dragonflies can scoop sperm from a previous male out of females’ reproductive organs? Or that some wasps lay eggs inside living caterpillars\, and the wasp larvae eat the caterpillar alive from the inside out? And then there are the more familiar stories involving metamorphosis\, pollination\, and mimicry. Join us to learn some of the basics of insect biology\, including an overview of the major groups. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage. Download a map here. Note that this is now a private residence and there is no bathroom access. \nThank you to our generous sponsors: John S. Jordan Design PLLC and the Hebron Conservation Committee. \nPhoto: Six-spotted Tiger Beetle by Pam Hunt.

SUMMARY:The Iconic Common Loon
DESCRIPTION:2023 Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Caroline Hughes\, Loon Preservation Committee \nFor many\, the haunting call of the loon is an important part of the New Hampshire lake experience. Often seen as a symbol of the northern wilderness\, loons are a beloved fixture on New Hampshire lakes\, and many lake goers enjoy watching them as they raise their young. However\, the breeding season can be a vulnerable time for loons—they face many threats\, both natural and human-caused\, while on our lakes. This presentation by Caroline Hughes of the Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) will focus on the biology and life history of loons\, the threats that loons face\, and the work that the LPC and their volunteers have performed since 1975 to help recover New Hampshire’s threatened loon population. \nCaroline Hughes has a Bachelor’s in Environmental Science from the College of the Holy Cross. After interning and working for a number of conservation organizations\, including the Squam Lakes Association and Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation\, she joined the Loon Preservation Committee where she is now the Volunteer & Outreach Biologist. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage.

SUMMARY:Why Ice Storms Aren’t Cool: Forest Response to Catastrophic Events
DESCRIPTION:2023 Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Dr. Lindsey Rustad\, USDA Northeast Climate Hub \nIce storms are a common disturbance in north temperate and boreal forests worldwide. In the United States\, they account for roughly 60% of winter storm losses with damage to property; closures of roads\, schools and businesses; and accidents and loss of life. Current models suggest that ice storms may become more frequent and more severe as a result of climate change\, but studying their impact is difficult since the storms are so hard to predict. To better understand ice storms\, Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest created controlled ice storm experiments during the winters of 2016 and 2017. The experimental ‘storms’ changed the forest canopy and soil conditions giving the scientific community\, land managers and community members greater insight on the impacts of these powerful\, frightening\, and curiously aesthetic extreme winter weather events in northern hardwood forests. \nDr. Lindsey Rustad is the Director of the USDA Northeast Climate Hub\, providing expertise on the impacts of global change on northeastern forests. She is also a Research Ecologist for the USDA Forest Service Center for Research on Ecosystem Change in Durham\, NH. Her areas of expertise include biogeochemistry\, global change impacts\, and advanced environmental sensor systems. Her current interests include implementation of cybertechnology in forests across the northeastern United States and integration of Arts and Science at long term ecological field stations. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage.

SUMMARY:Digging into Native New Hampshire
DESCRIPTION:2023 Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Dr. Robert Goodby\, Professor of Anthropology\, Franklin Pierce University \nAbenaki history has been reduced to near-invisibility as a result of conquest\, a conquering culture that placed little value on the Indian experience\, and a strategy of self-preservation that required many Abenaki to go “underground\,” concealing their true identities for generations to avoid discrimination and persecution. Robert Goodby reveals archaeological evidence that shows their deep presence here\, inches below the earth’s surface. \nThis event is made possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage.

SUMMARY:Astronomy Talk and Viewing
DESCRIPTION:Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: John Bishop\, New Hampshire Astronomical Society \nWhen we look up at the night sky on a clear night\, we see points of light with varied color and brightness. We know that the light has reached us across the vastness of space\, but just how far has it traveled? And how do we know that? Astronomers have the cosmic distance ladder to measure farther and farther away from us\, using different methods to cover greater and greater distances. \nJoin John Bishop of the New Hampshire Astronomical Society as he describes the distance ladder and also opens a window into the August night sky. After his presentation in the Red Barn\, head outside with John for a Sky Watch. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage. Download a map here. Note that this is now a private residence and there is no bathroom access. \nSpecial thanks to our 2022 Red Barn Series sponsor\, the Hebron Conservation Commission; and to our co-host\, the Newfound Lake Region Association.\n \nPhoto: The moon and Venus (NASA photo).

SUMMARY:Climate Change and Coastal Carnivores: Rising Water and Changing Habitat
DESCRIPTION:Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Mirka Zapletal\, Newfound Lake Region Association \nIn New Hampshire we hear that climate change is bringing us heat waves\, heavy rain storms\, and earlier springs. And it’s not just humans who will be affected- New Hampshire wildlife populations may have to adjust to these new conditions or disappear. How will climate change impact some of these same species in coastal areas along the Gulf of Mexico where land loss is an additional issue? Conservation ecologist Mirka Zapletal will share her research on coastal carnivores in Louisiana\, such as coyotes and otters\, and rodents with similar roles in the ecosystem. Future models of Louisiana’s coast suggest dramatically altered landscapes going forward and that could have huge impacts on where these species are found. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage. Download a map here. Note that this is now a private residence and there is no bathroom access. \nMirka recently earned her doctorate from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette where she did this research. She’s now the Education & Outreach Manager for the Newfound Lake Region Association where her work focuses on getting people outside to experience the Newfound Watershed and conservation work in new ways.\n \nSpecial thanks to our 2022 Red Barn Series sponsor\, the Hebron Conservation Commission; and to our co-host\, the Newfound Lake Region Association.\n \nPhoto: Mirka in the field (courtesy photo).

SUMMARY:Dragons and Damsels of NH
DESCRIPTION:Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Dr. Pam Hunt\, NH Audubon \nWelcome to the fascinating world of the insect order Odonata! You may be familiar with the dragonflies buzzing over your yard in the summer\, or the damselflies that land on your kayak\, but what do you REALLY know about these ancient insects? This program provides an overview of the biology and ecology of dragonflies and damselflies\, from their amazing life cycle (content alert: some pretty crazy reproductive behavior is involved!) to their incredible diversity. It also highlights a few of NH’s notable species and their stories\, and closes with some results from the “NH Dragonfly Survey\,” a five year volunteer-based project that documented the distribution of these insects across the state. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage.

SUMMARY:Tracking New Hampshire’s Endangered Northern Harriers
DESCRIPTION:Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Chris Martin\, Senior Biologist\, NH Audubon \nWith slender dihedral wings and a rudder-like tail\, a Northern Harrier glides low over fields and marshes in search of prey. Look away\, and it might vanish into tall grass or behind a stone wall. Literally and figuratively flying under the radar for several decades\, is New Hampshire’s declining harrier breeding population also about to disappear? NH Fish & Game reclassified them as state-endangered in 2008\, and they are funding NH Audubon’s current efforts to monitor and manage these marsh hawks. Chris will discuss efforts to document what remains of NH’s breeding harrier population. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage. Download a map here. Note that this is now a private residence and there is no bathroom access. \nChris Martin is a NH Audubon raptor biologist. For 32 years he has led recovery of the state’s Bald Eagles\, Ospreys\, and Peregrine Falcons\, in close collaboration with NH Fish & Game’s Nongame Wildlife Program. He recruits\, trains\, and supervises an enthusiastic corps of volunteer observers who monitor these species at sites scattered across the Granite State.\n \nSpecial thanks to our 2022 Red Barn Series sponsor\, the Hebron Conservation Commission; and to our co-host\, the Newfound Lake Region Association.\n \nPhoto: Chris Martin on Mt Washington (David Govatski).

SUMMARY:Native BATS of New Hampshire
DESCRIPTION:Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Dr. Katherine York\, Associate Professor of Biology and Chair\, Dept. of Biological Sciences\, Southern New Hampshire University \nThis talk focuses on identifying the eight native species of bats in New Hampshire\, acoustic and stationary monitoring techniques\, and the current status of White nose syndrome among bats in the U.S. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage. Download a map here. \nI have worked with animals all my life\, first earning a B.S. in Animal Science and working as a zookeeper and a vet tech\, before receiving my M.Ed. in Secondary Biology Education from UNH. I have always wanted to teach people about animals\, and I think the way we treat animals says a lot about how we ultimately treat the whole Earth. During my Ph.D. program in Natural Resources at UNH\, I focused on environmental ethics and on our human relationship with both animals and the Earth. I have studied bats in New Hampshire for the last few years\, and now monitor the abundance and distribution of bat species in the state using acoustic and stationary techniques. White nose syndrome has devastated many of our native bat populations\, so it is especially important to keep an eye on their numbers and relative health\, as we watch this unfortunate disease progression across North America. \nSpecial thanks to our series sponsor:

SUMMARY:The State of New Hampshire’s Birds
DESCRIPTION:Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Dr. Pamela Hunt\, Senior Biologist- Avian Conservation\, NH Audubon \nIn the last 50 years\, scientists estimate that North America has lost roughly 3 billion birds\, meaning that there are only three quarters as many birds around as there used to be. New Hampshire Audubon has been tracking bird populations for almost as long\, and in our “State of the Birds” report we present a summary of how birds are doing here in the Granite State. Almost 300 species occur regularly here\, and this report outlines general population trends\, major threats facing birds and their habitats\, and some of the conservation strategies that might help them recover. The bad news is that birds are declining here as well. The good news is that there are things we can do about it. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage. Download a map here. \nPam Hunt has been interested in birds since the tender age of 12\, when an uncle took her to Brigantine National Wildlife Refuge in NJ. She went on to earn a B.S. in biology from Cornell University\, M.A. in zoology from the University of Montana\, and a Ph.D. from Dartmouth College in 1995. Pam came to NH Audubon in 2000 after five years as adjunct faculty at Colby-Sawyer College in New London. In her current position as Avian Conservation Biologist\, she works closely with NH Fish and Game to coordinate and prioritize bird research and monitoring in the state\, and also authored NH’s “State of the Birds” report. Specific areas of interest include habitat use by early successional birds (particularly whip-poor-wills)\, conservation of aerial insectivores (e.g.\, swifts and swallows)\, and the effects of events outside the breeding season on long-distance migrants. Pam also coordinated the “NH Dragonfly Survey\,” a five-year project that mapped distributions of these insects throughout the state\, and remains active in the dragonfly field. \nSpecial thanks to our series sponsor:
