SUMMARY:Enchanted Owls Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Enchanted Owls by Sandra Grant \nDescription: As I walk through my woodland’s path\, listen for the sounds of the Great Horned Owl’s melody as they communicate back and forth to their mates. It’s like an enchanted forest at different times of the year when all varieties of birds are singing. \nOn a recent walk I looked in front of me and saw a fledgling owl perched on a dead log on the ground. It was a Barred Owl very young\, who may have had its first flight out of the nest and was checking out the ground around him. The next day I found on the path his sibling low in a tree learning how to hunt for food. The mother was seen with big full wings saying\, “Stay back from my nest.” It had to be close by but not to be seen. \nMy home studio is called the “Hooking Nest”\, where I watch the Red-tailed Hawks circling my bird feeders. We watch many owls around our pond hunting for small prey from the treetops. The Blue Herons and Mallards sometimes stop by for a swim. \nPlease enjoy my Owl & Raptor Fiber Art Hooked Birds. \n \nArt exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended \nBio: I have been a fiber artist for most of my life. My educational background includes a BFA and MFA in fine arts and teaching. I have worked in many different mediums over the years\, starting with drawing and painting. I continued with weaving and had a business selling my work for many years. My love of color\, yarns\, textures and fabrics continued when I stopped weaving and found “rug hooking”. I’ve studied with many well known rug hooking teachers around the country\, learning various different  techniques from each unique artist. All of which has contributed to my fiber birds over the past years. \nI came to realize that rug hooking was a more versatile medium allowing me to create my own colors of dyed wool and yarns. I could add other materials\, like velvets\, metallics\, beads\, novelty fur yarns\, feathers\, etc. I could draw my own subjects and I could make them 3/D if I chose that look. I can work on small or very large pieces. The options are open to create whatever the artist chooses. Also\, the ease of going back and taking out something you don’t like or add more embellishments when finished is so helpful when your creating. \nMost of my recent work is of birds of all kinds. Raptors and all Water birds are high on my list to create.  I live by the water and see so many water birds. I also spent time at VINS\, watching and photographing owls. \nI was chosen as the featured artist in 2022\, at the GMRHG exhibit. I am the Education Chair for GMRHG and teach beginner rug hooking in Vermont Libraries and other Craft centers. My work can be seen on the GMRHG site virtual show. \nI am a juried member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen and show in their annual craft shows. In 2019 my piece\, “Bucky the Blue Heron” was chosen as the cover for the show and the featured piece of the show\, along with being printed on their annual tee shirts to sell. I have won best in show awards at NH League exhibits and at the Deerfield\, NH and Tunbridge\, VT\, sheep and wool festivals. My profile and work can be seen on the NH League web site. \nI have been in Celebration’s magazine 3 times and had a write up in Rug Hooking Magazine\, in 2020\, with my Pelican featured on the cover. I currently sell my work through the NH League Craft shops and at Village Art Gallery in Warren\, VT.

SUMMARY:Outings Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Outings by Nick Amadeo. \n30% of the proceeds from this exhibit will benefit New Hampshire Audubon. \nDescription: It was here at the Massabesic Audubon Center–among the trees\, by the shore of the lake\, in the fields– I began learning how to draw and paint five years ago. The works in this exhibit were made primarily en plein air\, here and around New England\, and in all seasons. This exhibit is a culmination of a long apprenticeship in nature\, a tribute to this space\, and to all places that allow us to cultivate an appreciation and respect for the natural world. \nExamples of Nick Amadeo’s work.\nArtist’s Bio: Nicholas Amadeo is a self-taught artist from southern New Hampshire. Working in watercolor for its portability\, he focuses on the process of painting outdoors to study the individual’s encounter with nature in the tradition of plein air landscape painters. \n  \nArt exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended.

SUMMARY:Zoom Program with the Seacoast Chapter: North American Bird Declines are Greatest Where Species are Most Abundant
DESCRIPTION:This program is a follow-up to our February 2021 30 Billion Birds Lost program by Ken Rosenberg of Cornell. This program will discuss a new expansive study of North American bird population trends that was published in Science May 2025. \nEffective bird conservation has been limited by a lack of fine-scale population data. This talk presents new analyses using data from eBird to estimate changes in abundance for 495 North American bird species from 2007 to 2021 at a 27-kilometer resolution. Results reveal widespread but spatially complex declines; while 75% of species are declining overall\, 97% show both increasing and decreasing trends in different areas. Strikingly\, declines are often steepest where species are most abundant. These findings offer a new lens on population dynamics and provide sharper tools to guide urgent\, targeted conservation efforts. \nBio: Dr. Courtney Davis is an Assistant Professor of Global Biodiversity and Ecoinformatics at Cornell University.

SUMMARY:Enchanted Owls Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Enchanted Owls by Sandra Grant \nDescription: As I walk through my woodland’s path\, listen for the sounds of the Great Horned Owl’s melody as they communicate back and forth to their mates. It’s like an enchanted forest at different times of the year when all varieties of birds are singing. \nOn a recent walk I looked in front of me and saw a fledgling owl perched on a dead log on the ground. It was a Barred Owl very young\, who may have had its first flight out of the nest and was checking out the ground around him. The next day I found on the path his sibling low in a tree learning how to hunt for food. The mother was seen with big full wings saying\, “Stay back from my nest.” It had to be close by but not to be seen. \nMy home studio is called the “Hooking Nest”\, where I watch the Red-tailed Hawks circling my bird feeders. We watch many owls around our pond hunting for small prey from the treetops. The Blue Herons and Mallards sometimes stop by for a swim. \nPlease enjoy my Owl & Raptor Fiber Art Hooked Birds. \n \nArt exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended \nBio: I have been a fiber artist for most of my life. My educational background includes a BFA and MFA in fine arts and teaching. I have worked in many different mediums over the years\, starting with drawing and painting. I continued with weaving and had a business selling my work for many years. My love of color\, yarns\, textures and fabrics continued when I stopped weaving and found “rug hooking”. I’ve studied with many well known rug hooking teachers around the country\, learning various different  techniques from each unique artist. All of which has contributed to my fiber birds over the past years. \nI came to realize that rug hooking was a more versatile medium allowing me to create my own colors of dyed wool and yarns. I could add other materials\, like velvets\, metallics\, beads\, novelty fur yarns\, feathers\, etc. I could draw my own subjects and I could make them 3/D if I chose that look. I can work on small or very large pieces. The options are open to create whatever the artist chooses. Also\, the ease of going back and taking out something you don’t like or add more embellishments when finished is so helpful when your creating. \nMost of my recent work is of birds of all kinds. Raptors and all Water birds are high on my list to create.  I live by the water and see so many water birds. I also spent time at VINS\, watching and photographing owls. \nI was chosen as the featured artist in 2022\, at the GMRHG exhibit. I am the Education Chair for GMRHG and teach beginner rug hooking in Vermont Libraries and other Craft centers. My work can be seen on the GMRHG site virtual show. \nI am a juried member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen and show in their annual craft shows. In 2019 my piece\, “Bucky the Blue Heron” was chosen as the cover for the show and the featured piece of the show\, along with being printed on their annual tee shirts to sell. I have won best in show awards at NH League exhibits and at the Deerfield\, NH and Tunbridge\, VT\, sheep and wool festivals. My profile and work can be seen on the NH League web site. \nI have been in Celebration’s magazine 3 times and had a write up in Rug Hooking Magazine\, in 2020\, with my Pelican featured on the cover. I currently sell my work through the NH League Craft shops and at Village Art Gallery in Warren\, VT.

SUMMARY:NH Butterflies: What Have We Learned Since 2022? (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Reporting of butterfly observations in NH has increased dramatically over the past few years since the start of the NH Butterfly Monitoring Network. Join NH Fish & Game Wildlife Biologist Heidi Holman to learn about key highlights that your efforts and others have contributed to our knowledge of butterflies in the state. If you are new to the hobby of “butterflying” this webinar will cover the top 20 species you may encounter to get you started. If you are a regular collaborator\, we’ll be sharing what is planned to expand the effort in 2026. \nRegister here. \nThis training is part of a series of three webinars hosted by the NH Butterfly Monitoring Network\, a collaborative effort led by NH Fish & Game Department to engage volunteers in counting and identifying butterflies across New Hampshire. The series will provide information on butterflies in New Hampshire\, butterfly identification\, photographing butterflies\, and how to submit your observations to support the NH Butterfly Monitoring Network. For more information and to register for the session(s) you want to attend (you don’t need to attend them all!)\, visit nhbutterflies.org. All butterfly enthusiasts are welcome\, with or without prior experience! \nIf you need an accommodation to participate in our programming\, please contact Haley Andreozzi (haley.andreozzi@unh.edu\, 603-862-5327) prior to the event. Given ample time\, we will make any reasonable effort to meet your needs\, including language access services if requested\, which will be provided free of charge. \nCover photo by Anita Fernandez.

SUMMARY:Outings Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Outings by Nick Amadeo. \n30% of the proceeds from this exhibit will benefit New Hampshire Audubon. \nDescription: It was here at the Massabesic Audubon Center–among the trees\, by the shore of the lake\, in the fields– I began learning how to draw and paint five years ago. The works in this exhibit were made primarily en plein air\, here and around New England\, and in all seasons. This exhibit is a culmination of a long apprenticeship in nature\, a tribute to this space\, and to all places that allow us to cultivate an appreciation and respect for the natural world. \nExamples of Nick Amadeo’s work.\nArtist’s Bio: Nicholas Amadeo is a self-taught artist from southern New Hampshire. Working in watercolor for its portability\, he focuses on the process of painting outdoors to study the individual’s encounter with nature in the tradition of plein air landscape painters. \n  \nArt exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended.

SUMMARY:Enchanted Owls Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Enchanted Owls by Sandra Grant \nDescription: As I walk through my woodland’s path\, listen for the sounds of the Great Horned Owl’s melody as they communicate back and forth to their mates. It’s like an enchanted forest at different times of the year when all varieties of birds are singing. \nOn a recent walk I looked in front of me and saw a fledgling owl perched on a dead log on the ground. It was a Barred Owl very young\, who may have had its first flight out of the nest and was checking out the ground around him. The next day I found on the path his sibling low in a tree learning how to hunt for food. The mother was seen with big full wings saying\, “Stay back from my nest.” It had to be close by but not to be seen. \nMy home studio is called the “Hooking Nest”\, where I watch the Red-tailed Hawks circling my bird feeders. We watch many owls around our pond hunting for small prey from the treetops. The Blue Herons and Mallards sometimes stop by for a swim. \nPlease enjoy my Owl & Raptor Fiber Art Hooked Birds. \n \nArt exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended \nBio: I have been a fiber artist for most of my life. My educational background includes a BFA and MFA in fine arts and teaching. I have worked in many different mediums over the years\, starting with drawing and painting. I continued with weaving and had a business selling my work for many years. My love of color\, yarns\, textures and fabrics continued when I stopped weaving and found “rug hooking”. I’ve studied with many well known rug hooking teachers around the country\, learning various different  techniques from each unique artist. All of which has contributed to my fiber birds over the past years. \nI came to realize that rug hooking was a more versatile medium allowing me to create my own colors of dyed wool and yarns. I could add other materials\, like velvets\, metallics\, beads\, novelty fur yarns\, feathers\, etc. I could draw my own subjects and I could make them 3/D if I chose that look. I can work on small or very large pieces. The options are open to create whatever the artist chooses. Also\, the ease of going back and taking out something you don’t like or add more embellishments when finished is so helpful when your creating. \nMost of my recent work is of birds of all kinds. Raptors and all Water birds are high on my list to create.  I live by the water and see so many water birds. I also spent time at VINS\, watching and photographing owls. \nI was chosen as the featured artist in 2022\, at the GMRHG exhibit. I am the Education Chair for GMRHG and teach beginner rug hooking in Vermont Libraries and other Craft centers. My work can be seen on the GMRHG site virtual show. \nI am a juried member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen and show in their annual craft shows. In 2019 my piece\, “Bucky the Blue Heron” was chosen as the cover for the show and the featured piece of the show\, along with being printed on their annual tee shirts to sell. I have won best in show awards at NH League exhibits and at the Deerfield\, NH and Tunbridge\, VT\, sheep and wool festivals. My profile and work can be seen on the NH League web site. \nI have been in Celebration’s magazine 3 times and had a write up in Rug Hooking Magazine\, in 2020\, with my Pelican featured on the cover. I currently sell my work through the NH League Craft shops and at Village Art Gallery in Warren\, VT.
