SUMMARY:A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds
DESCRIPTION:Even as scientists make astounding discoveries about the navigational and physiological feats that enable migratory birds to cross immense oceans or fly above the highest mountains\, go weeks without sleep or remain in unbroken flight for months at a stretch\, humans have brought many migrants to the brink. Based on his newest book\, “A World on the Wing\,” author and researcher Scott Weidensaul takes you around the globe with researchers in the lab probing the limits of what migrating birds can do\, to the shores of the Yellow Sea in China\, to the remote mountains of northeastern India where tribal villages saved the greatest gathering of falcons on the planet\, and the Mediterranean where activists and police battle bird poachers to learn how people are fighting to understand and save the world’s great bird migrations. \nScott Weidensaul with a Snowy Owl (©Chris DeSorbo).\nNovember and December Zoom programs begin at 7:30 pm\, but feel free to sign on early after 7 pm to socialize. You may need to download Zoom to attend the program. Please register in advance for this Zoom meeting at the chapter website. You can register right up through the start time. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the program. \nBio: Scott Weidensaul is the author of more than two dozen books on natural history\, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist Living on the Wind\, Return to Wild America and The First Frontier. His newest book\, A World on the Wing about global migration\, was released in March 2021. Weidensaul is a contributing editor for National Audubon\, a columnist for Bird Watcher’s Digest and writes for a variety of other publications\, including Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Living Bird. He is also an active field researcher\, studying Northern Saw-whet Owl migration for more than two decades\, as well as winter hummingbirds\, bird migration in Alaska\, and the winter movements of Snowy Owls through Project SNOWstorm\, which he co-founded. \n  \nThe Seacoast Chapter meets monthly on the second Wednesday except the months of July and August unless there is a special program. 7 pm social and the meetings begin at 7:30 pm unless otherwise noted (entrance doors locked at 7:45 pm). The public is welcome free of charge. Meetings are held at the Seacoast Science Center at Odiorne State Park\, Route 1A\, Rye\, NH. Wheelchair accessible.

SUMMARY:Old-Growth Forests: Biodiversity and Carbon Storage Powerhouses Worth Saving
DESCRIPTION:Old-Growth Forests are rare in New Hampshire\, the second most heavily forested state in the nation. Less than one percent of New Hampshire forests are considered old-growth\, while their value for ecosystem services including carbon storage and biodiversity is great. This presentation will describe how you can recognize the unique characteristics of such a forest\, important ecological attributes\, and the wildlife that favor such forests. \nWe will take a visual tour of some of New Hampshire’s finest old-growth forests from around the state. We will discuss the importance of these forests as carbon reserves to help cool the planet and as places where nature is a source of inspiration. We will meet some of the residents of such forests like the Blackburnian Warbler\, flying squirrel\, and American marten who prefer this type of forest habitat. We need both sustainably managed forests and ancient forests where trees can reach their maximum biological age. I will make the case that both kinds of forests are working forests. \nRegister for this free webinar through Zoom. \n \nThis webinar is part of the year-long Exploring Connections to and Stewardship of the Natural World talks. This series is supported by a grant through the NH Humanities Council and aims to provide a public and personal space for the examination of environmental ethics\, fostering a deeper understanding of\, appreciation for\, and care of\, our natural world. Programs are free to the public\, and streamed via Zoom\, YouTube\, and Facebook Live.  \nFor more information and to see the entire slate of talks\, visit our series webpage. \nSpeaker Bio: \nDavid Govatski is a retired forester and silviculturist and was employed by the US Forest Service for 33 years. He has visited and studied old-growth forests in all parts of North America. He has a particular affinity for Alaska’s Tongass National Forest. David was co-author of Forests for the People: The Story of the Eastern National Forests and numerous articles on forest history. David works as a Naturalist and lives with his wife in Jefferson\, NH.

SUMMARY:Where Migratory Birds Need Us Most
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will focus on an array of familiar breeding species that undertake the perils of migration\, where they go\, the threats they face\, and what must be done to conserve them. Scott will talk about the efforts he is currently involved with protecting some of our most threatened shorebirds: Piping Plover\, Red Knot\, Hudsonian Godwit\, and Buff-breasted Sandpiper\, as well as some of our songbirds that show serious declines\, and the current and potential projects to address this. You will hear how science in recent years has pin-pointed the whereabouts of these species during migration\, how long they linger from site to site\, and where they seem to do well or do poorly. Take heart in knowing that there are hundreds of bird conservationists working at hundreds of IBAs\, and success stories abound. \nRegister for this free webinar through Zoom. \n \nThis webinar is part of the year-long Exploring Connections to and Stewardship of the Natural World talks. This series is supported by a grant through the NH Humanities Council and aims to provide a public and personal space for the examination of environmental ethics\, fostering a deeper understanding of\, appreciation for\, and care of\, our natural world. Programs are free to the public\, and streamed via Zoom\, YouTube\, and Facebook Live.  \nFor more information and to see the entire slate of talks\, visit our series webpage. \nSpeaker Bio: \nScott Hecker has worked to conserve threatened birdlife for over forty years.  His graduate studies at Antioch University took him to Belize in the 1980s where he successfully helped establish the largest private tropical forest reserve in Central America.  For the next 30 years he led efforts for the Massachusetts Audubon Society\, National Audubon Society\, and the Goldenrod Foundation to conserve the nesting habitat of Piping Plovers\, terns\, and other beach-nesting species. His tenure in Massachusetts helped Piping Plovers increase from 126 pairs in 1987 to 611 pairs in 2011.  He summarized this work in “The Piping Plover as an Umbrella Species for the Barrier Beach Ecosystem” in Saving Biological Diversity\, edited by Askins\, R.A. et al.  In 2008 he founded the non-profit Conservian\, Inc to develop comprehensive fieldwork to protect plovers and terns on their non-breeding grounds as well as resident beach-nesting species on the Gulf of Mexico and the Bahamas. In 2016 he began his current position as the Director of Bird Conservation for the International Conservation Fund of Canada\, where he has broadened his activities to fund and oversee conservation efforts for North America’s most threatened migratory birds as well as globally endangered species occurring within the Tropics of Latin America\, Africa\, and Asia. Scott lives in Temple\, New Hampshire where he serves as the Chair of the Conservation Commission and the boards for local non-profit organizations focused on conservation and the arts. \n

SUMMARY:Forest to Forest: Bicknell’s Thrush
DESCRIPTION:A rare migratory songbird\, with a very restricted range\, is a catalyst for exploring issues of sustainable development on the island of Hispaniola\, where Haiti and the Dominican Republic (DR) are co-located\, where the bird spends the winter and the high peaks of the Northeastern US where the bird breeds on high peaks in Maine\, NH\, VT\, and NY in the summer. This presentation is about raising awareness of the plight of this bird through an interdisciplinary\, multicultural\, international\, collaborative project involving art\, poetry\, citizen science and fieldtrips up Cannon Mountain\, NH to see the bird. \nRegister for this free webinar through Zoom. \n \nThis webinar is part of the year-long Exploring Connections to and Stewardship of the Natural World talks. This series is supported by a grant through the NH Humanities Council and aims to provide a public and personal space for the examination of environmental ethics\, fostering a deeper understanding of\, appreciation for\, and care of\, our natural world. Programs are free to the public\, and streamed via Zoom\, YouTube\, and Facebook Live.  \nFor more information and to see the entire slate of talks\, visit our series webpage. \nSpeaker Bio: \nMary Ann McGarry is the former Natural Resource Educator for the Maine Department of Conservation\, Director of Maine Lakes Conservancy Institute\, and Director of Education for the Hubbard Brook Research Foundation\, NH. She has been a professor of environmental science and policy at Plymouth State University (PSU) since 2004\, having helped create the master’s and undergraduate programs. She is currently the Endowed Abbott Professor of Environmental Studies. MaryAnn is also one of the founding members of the Sustainability Council which offers a minor. McGarry has led a two major interdisciplinary projects on campus: 1) Forest to Forest: Bicknell’s Thrush– Raising awareness about the Bicknell’s Thrush as a catalyst for focusing on international sustainable development on the island of Hispaniola and in the northeastern U.S. where the birds come to breed on the peaks over 2800 feet; and 2) Valuing Our Campus Trees and Community Forests which led PSU in becoming NH’s first and only higher education institution with Tree Campus USA and Bee Campus USA status. This latter project has involved having her students calculate the ecosystem service of trees on campus using the USFS i-tree software and conducting tree tours of the 106 species on the campus for the community and prospective students. McGarry has conducted environmental place-based writing workshops and courses for local\, national and International audiences. She has completed 23 graduate credit hours towards a masters in creative writing\, focused on environmental writing.

SUMMARY:Avian Protection at NorthWestern Energy in Montana
DESCRIPTION:Power companies\, wildlife agencies\, and conservation organizations have collaborated for decades to reduce bird electrocutions and collisions with power lines. NorthWestern Energy in Montana implements an Avian Protection Plan across its entire electrical system. New power lines are constructed following bird-friendly standards and existing lines are retrofitted with bird protection devices where electrocutions or collisions have occurred. This presentation by Marco Restani\, Biologist at NorthWestern Energy\, will review the legislation protecting birds\, the biology and engineering behind bird-power line interactions\, and management to reduce conflicts. Examples from waterfowl to raptors to songbirds will illustrate the diversity of challenges experienced in Montana. \nBio: Marco Restani began birding with the Seacoast Chapter of NH Audubon in the late 1970s and the mentorship he received launched him on a lifetime journey with birds. Originally an ‘Army Brat’\, he attended high school in Durham before heading west to the University of Montana\, Montana State\, and Utah State. Following post-doctoral research at the University of Washington\, Marco was Professor of Wildlife Ecology for 15 years. He is a Biologist at NorthWestern Energy in Montana responsible for developing and implementing the company’s Avian Protection Program. \nThe Seacoast Chapter meets monthly on the second Wednesday except the months of July and August unless there is a special program. 7 pm social and the meetings begin at 7:30 pm unless otherwise noted (entrance doors locked at 7:45 pm). The public is welcome free of charge. Meetings are held at the Seacoast Science Center at Odiorne State Park\, Route 1A\, Rye\, NH. Wheelchair accessible.

SUMMARY:A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds
DESCRIPTION:Even as scientists make astounding discoveries about the navigational and physiological feats that enable migratory birds to cross immense oceans or fly above the highest mountains\, go weeks without sleep or remain in unbroken flight for months at a stretch\, humans have brought many migrants to the brink. Based on his newest book “A World on the Wing\,” author and researcher Scott Weidensaul takes you around the globe — with researchers in the lab probing the limits of what migrating birds can do\, to the shores of the Yellow Sea in China\, the remote mountains of northeastern India where tribal villages saved the greatest gathering of falcons on the planet\, and the Mediterranean\, where activists and police are battle bird poachers — to learn how people are fighting to understand and save the world’s great bird migrations. \nRegister for this free webinar through Zoom. \n \nThis webinar is part of the year-long Exploring Connections to and Stewardship of the Natural World talks. This series is supported by a grant through the NH Humanities Council and aims to provide a public and personal space for the examination of environmental ethics\, fostering a deeper understanding of\, appreciation for\, and care of\, our natural world. Programs are free to the public\, and streamed via Zoom\, YouTube\, and Facebook Live.  \nFor more information and to see the entire slate of talks\, visit our series webpage. \nSpeaker Bio: \nScott Weidensaul holding a Snowy Owl (©Chris DeSorbo).\nScott Weidensaul is the author of more than two dozen books on natural history\, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist “Living on the Wind\,” “Return to Wild America” and “The First Frontier.” His newest book\, “A World on the Wing” about global migration\, was released in March by W.W. Norton. Weidensaul is a contributing editor for Audubon\, a columnist for Bird Watcher’s Digest and writes for a variety of other publications\, including Living Bird. He is also an active field researcher\, studying saw-whet owl migration for more than two decades\, as well as winter hummingbirds\, bird migration in Alaska\, and the winter movements of snowy owls through Project SNOWstorm\, which he co-founded.
