SUMMARY:Cancelled: Appreciating our Nocturnal Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:**This program has been cancelled.** \nJoin us during Pollinator Week to learn more about the mysterious and diverse world of moths! They’re our (mostly) nocturnal neighbors that remain largely unseen but play a very important role in our gardens\, while supporting populations of native bird and bat species across the Northeast. Moth diversity has long been considered an indicator of habitat quality and emphasizes the importance of using various native plant\, shrub and tree species in our cultivated landscapes and embracing habitat heterogeneity when making land use decisions. \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: \nSarah Shearer is a graduate student at Antioch University New England (Keene\, NH). Sarah is a MS candidate in the Environmental Studies program with a concentration in Conservation Biology. Endlessly curious with a special affinity for some of the smaller or less-recognized creatures on this planet\, Sarah has primarily focused on studying moths during her time at AUNE. Her other interests besides invertebrates include landscape-scale conservation\, ecological inventories and successive biology. Sarah’s thesis topic is Moth Diversity in Managed Inland Pine Barrens and Heathlands of Massachusetts. She conducted her pilot study during Fall 2019 and her formal research from May to October 2020 with support from the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife’s Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program (NHESP). Throughout the span of this project\, Sarah has become well-acquainted with various field collection and species identification techniques\, museum specimen preparation and iNaturalist™. Some of Sarah’s previous experience includes the identification of shellfish and gastropods for a study informing the restoration of salt marshes managed by Cape Cod National Seashore. Sarah has also worked on the identification of ant species for Harvard Forest’s “Warm Ants” project and as a Migratory Fish Count Technician\, monitoring the seasonal migration of fish in the Connecticut River for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. \n

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:Beecology: a Citizen Scientist Helping Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Gegear will update participants on the decline of wild pollinators and the importance of collecting critical ecological information that is needed to develop effective conservation and restoration strategies for threatened pollinator species. The Beecology project was developed to recruit citizen scientists from across the region to digitally collect and submit ecological data on native pollinators. You will learn and practice data collection using the smartphone and web apps developed through this project. Participants will have the chance to use online visualization tools to collect data important for improving the quality of native pollinator habitats. \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: \nRobert J. Gegear is a Professor in the Department of Biology at UMASS Dartmouth and Director of the New England Beecology Project\, a citizen science-based effort to rapidly collect large amounts of ecological data on native pollination networks in New England.  He has been studying the neuroecology and conservation of pollinator-plant systems for over 20 and has over 40 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals\, books\, and the popular press.  In recognition of his ongoing efforts to protect and restore native biodiversity in Massachusetts\, Dr. Gegear was awarded the 2018 Regional Impact Award by the New England Wildflower Society. \n

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:

SUMMARY:Becoming a MOTH-er
DESCRIPTION:Once only thought of as annoyances\, moths are now being appreciated for their beauty\, diversity\, ecological role\, pollination duties\, and economic value.  With more than 10x the number of species as their butterfly cousins\, these [mostly] nocturnal fliers show at least as much variation in color\, life history strategies\, and importance.  This talk will explore myths\, how to observe moths\, and how to participate in a number of moth-related citizen science projects…just in time for National Moth Week. \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: \nJerry Skinner recently retired as Professor Emeritus from Keystone College after 38 years of teaching all sorts of biology and after 30 years as Resident Naturalist at The Nature Conservancy’s Woodbourne Preserve in NE PA. He describes himself as an ever-curious naturalist\, always finding something to learn about Mother Nature. This journey has taken him to study fish\, birds\, marine life\, salamanders and insects. Most recently he has become a real moth-er. He identified more than 660 species of moths in his PA backyard. Recently having moved to Ithaca\, he can’t wait to participate in New York’s 3rd Breeding Bird Atlas project. \n

SUMMARY:A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds
DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled. \nStay tuned for a rescheduled date in the future. \nNew Hampshire Audubon Seacoast Chapter \nWednesday June 9\, 2021 7:30 pm Eastern Time (US and Canada) Zoom Program – A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds \nEven 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. \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.All are welcome to attend our Wednesday May 12\, 2021 program via Zoom. The Zoom program Meeting begins 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. \n  \nFor more information see our website. \nThe Seacoast Chapter of NH Audubon thanks AARP New Hampshire for their sponsorship. \nPhoto: Scott Weidensaul (©Chris DeSorbo)

SUMMARY:Native Predatory Wasps: Their Role as Pollinators and Beneficial Insects
DESCRIPTION:Native bees and predatory wasps share the same lineage and also share many behaviors and habitat requirements. Predatory wasps feed their offspring invertebrates (insects and spiders) and bees diverged from this carnivorous diet to feed their offspring plant-based food (pollen and nectar). Flower-rich landscapes provide critical habitat for both adult bees and wasps because they each consume flower nectar; in addition\, wasps need diverse\, flower-rich landscapes to hunt for their prey. Heather will highlight many amazing natural history and biology facts about native wasps illustrating their nesting habitat\, prey specificity\, and the ecosystems services they provide—pest insect population control and pollination. \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: \nHeather Holm is a biologist\, pollinator conservationist\, and award-winning author. In addition to assisting with native bee research projects\, she informs and educates audiences nationwide\, through her writing and many presentations\, about the fascinating world of native pollinators and beneficial insects\, and the native plant communities that support them. Her first book\, Pollinators of Native Plants\, was published in 2014\, and her second book\, Bees\, published in 2017\, has won six book awards including the 2018 American Horticultural Society Book Award. Her forthcoming book\, Wasps\, will be available in January 2021. Heather’s expertise includes the interactions between native pollinators and native plants\, and the natural history and biology of native bees and predatory wasps occurring in the Upper Midwest and Northeast. \n

SUMMARY:Nighthawk Watch Volunteer Training
DESCRIPTION:It’s nearly time for the first Common Nighthawks to return. These insect-eating birds were once common in cities throughout New Hampshire\, but they are now endangered in the state. Volunteers have been helping NH Audubon and the Harris Center track nesting nighthawks since 2007\, primarily in Concord\, Keene\, and the Ossipee pine barrens. Volunteers watch at specific sites from 8:00 – 9:30 pm recording any nighthawk activity. If you are interested in volunteering\, there will be an online training on June 3 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. via Zoom. We will provide an introduction to nighthawk identification and instructions for nighthawk watching. Closed captioning will be available. To get the login details\, please register here. Contact Becky Suomala (rsuomala@nhaudubon.org) if you have questions regarding volunteering. \nCommon Nighthawk female nesting on a stone rooftop.

SUMMARY:Flowering Trees and Shrubs for Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:When gardeners think of designing a landscape for pollinators\, they may imagine a colorful bed of herbaceous flowers. However\, flowering trees and shrubs are essential parts of the habitat required to support a wide variety of pollinators and other wildlife species. Not only do they provide food\, but they also offer year-round shelter and nesting places. In this presentation you’ll learn about blooming trees and shrubs that provide both beauty and important habitat in the garden. \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.

SUMMARY:The American Prairie Reserve
DESCRIPTION:New Hampshire Audubon Seacoast Chapter \nWednesday May 12\, 2021 7:30 pm Eastern Time (US and Canada) Zoom Program: The American Prairie Reserve \nBetsy Robinson and Steve Gehman\, who have had careers as wildlife biologists and naturalist guides\, will present an introduction to the ongoing effort to create a 3 million acre prairie reserve in central Montana. They will discuss some of the unique characteristics of the prairie ecosystem and will feature some of their favorite birds and experiences from their time documenting bird species presence and abundance on the Reserve. Other topics include the value of prairie dogs and the presence of native large mammals and carnivores\, and the importance of establishing a large herd of free-ranging bison. \nBio: Betsy and Steve both grew up in the East\, followed different paths westward\, and then pursued careers as wildlife biologists and naturalist guides. They met while working for National Audubon’s Camp in The West at Dubois\, Wyoming. They later married and founded Wild Things Unlimited\, a non-profit organization that they ran for 22 years. Operating out of Bozeman\, Montana\, they conducted studies of wolverines\, Canada lynx and grizzly bears in the northern Rocky Mountains\, as well as prairie birds in central Montana. Between 2005 and 2013\, Betsy and Steve spent parts of four summers documenting bird species presence and abundance on the American Prairie Reserve. They moved to New Hampshire in 2019 and live in Hillsborough with their two golden retrievers. \nAll are welcome to attend our Wednesday May 12\, 2021 program via Zoom. The Zoom program Meeting begins 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. \nPlease register in advance for this meeting. You can register right up through the start time. \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nFor more information see our website. Cancellations will be announced on the programs page. \nThe Seacoast Chapter of NH Audubon thanks AARP New Hampshire for their sponsorship. \nPhotos: Ferruginous Hawk; American Prairie Reserve\, by Steven Gehman.
