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. 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: Dragonfly (Pam Hunt).

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:Connecting to Nature\, Virtually
DESCRIPTION:Red Barn Series\, Newfound Audubon\nNo registration necessary – just come and join us! \nSpeaker: Michael Weinstein\, Director of Sustainability\, Southern New Hampshire University \nResearch has shown that people who feel more connected to nature are more willing to act on behalf of it\, and that effective environmental education can foster greater nature connection. But due to steady growth in distance learning\, as well as events such as the COVID-19 pandemic\, it is unclear how this can occur in virtual space. This talk presents novel research on the experiences of online college students during the pandemic\, and how it may be possible to leverage exciting new information technology to connect people to each other and the environment. \nPlease park across the street at Ash Cottage. Download a map here. \nMike Weinstein is the first Director of Sustainability at Southern New Hampshire University. He is a President’s Doctoral Fellow and PhD Candidate in Environmental Studies and Sustainability at Antioch University New England. Mike established and directs the SNHU Arboretum\, a nationally accredited\, 25-acre forested wetland located in Manchester\, NH.

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:
