SUMMARY:Pondicherry Migratory Bird Day: Outing Two
DESCRIPTION:The 22nd Annual Pondicherry Migratory Bird Day is Saturday\, May 11\, 2024. Two consecutive walks are free and open to the public. The first event\, which starts at 6 am and ends at 8 am\, meets at the overlook at Airport Marsh on Airport Road in Whitefield\, NH. Airport Marsh has a mix of water\, wetland\, shrub\, and grassland habitat. Over the past several years\, 183 species have been recorded at Airport Marsh\, although we will be happy with 40 species. \nThe second event starts at the Pondicherry Trailhead at 289 Airport Road in Whitefield\, NH\, at 8 am. We will walk the rail trail to Cherry Pond\, a distance of 1.5 miles. We will look and listen for various warblers and other species. From the Tudor Richard Observation Platform at Cherry Pond\, guides will lead walks to Little Cherry Pond\, searching for black-backed woodpeckers and migrating warblers. We will also visit Moorhen Marsh for wetland species\, including marsh wrens and swamp sparrows. We have several expert volunteer guides to help us find and identify species. \nWe generally finish around 2 pm\, although birders can stay longer or leave earlier. The total walking distance for the Cherry and Little Cherry Ponds walk is around 5 miles with an elevation change of only 20 feet. Bring binoculars\, lunch\, water\, and dress for the weather. We may encounter a few black flies. This particular date is often the birdiest weekend of the migration season. The event is free and is sponsored by the Ammonoosuc Chapter of NH Audubon\, Friends of Pondicherry\, and the Silvio Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge. \nThe theme for World Migratory Bird Day 2024 is “Protect Insects\, Protect Birds.” Free educational posters featuring this theme will be available. \nThe Friends of Pondicherry website. \nIf you have any questions\, contact the organizer David Govatski at David.Govatski@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Human / Nature
DESCRIPTION:Elderglass by Jackie Hanson.\nIn this ongoing series\, artist Jackie Hanson uses pastels to paint immersive landscapes that feature both well-known and overlooked vantages\, often (but not exclusively) from New Hampshire and Maine. While pleasant to the eye\, these works help her to think about the tangled relationship between humans and nature. This relationship is both one of forces opposed to each other and inexplicably tied together. Humans can have a devastating impact on our environment\, but in many everyday cases\, you can observe the Earth reclaiming where humans have moved on. Meanwhile\, the human race is beholden to time and ultimately to our planet as well. Jackie’s paintings explore the beauty of the balance between human activity and the Earth’s reciprocity\, and the sublime power nature holds. (Recommended reading: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer.) \nBio: Jackie Hanson spent her childhood in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire\, raised in a family where art and creativity were always encouraged. While growing up\, she became familiar with the beauty of the outdoors in New England: lakes\, mountains\, small farms\, and plenty of day trips to the ocean. After first using pastels in high school\, she rediscovered her love for them while in college\, and the way they made her feel the same excitement in the studio as when exploring the natural world. Jackie graduated from New England College’s Institute of Art and Design in 2022 with her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and plans to continue her art practice as a career.

SUMMARY:Conserving "Our Birds" South of the Border with Scott Hecker
DESCRIPTION:Join the NH Audubon Seacoast Chapter for their in person May program: Conserving “Our Birds” South of the Border with Scott Hecker. \n“3 billion birds gone” headlined a report in 2019. What more do we know\, what can we do? As a “Director of Bird Conservation” since the 1980s\, it is my job to know and to do. As my colleague Fitz once said\, it is not Rocket Science\, it’s more complicated\, but it’s not too late and every bird and every acre matters. You will hear about species you love and people on the front lines of bird conservaation in Latin America and beyond who also love “their birds”. New tracking tecnologies and community engagement are making great strides. I hope you will come to hear how simple it is to make a difference. \nBio: Back around 1990\, I spoke for the Seacoast Chapter about conserving tropical habitat in Belize for “our birds”. I completed my MS degree in Belize in 1987\, then established the Coastal Waterbird Program at Mass Audubon that same year to conserve threatened and endangered Piping Plovers and Roseate Terns. In 2003\, I expanded those efforts as Director of Coastal Bird Conservation for the National Audubon Society. In 2008\, I co-founded Conservian to focus more work on Piping Plovers in the Bahamas. Since 2016\, I have worked for the International Conservation Fund of Canada (ICFC} and ICF US supporting bird conservationists on the front lines in 36 countries. \nThe Seacoast Chapter meets monthly on the second Wednesday except the months of July and August unless there is a special program. Refreshments are served at 7pm and the meetings begin at 7:30pm unless otherwise noted (entrance doors locked at 7:45pm). The public is welcome free of charge. In person meetings are held at the Seacoast Science Center at Odiorne State Park\, Route 1A\, Rye\, NH. Wheelchair accessible. For more information on chapter programs\, please contact: Dan Hubbard\, (603) 332-4093 or danielhubbard@peoplepc.com. Cancellations will be posted on The Seacoast Chapter website.

SUMMARY:Human / Nature
DESCRIPTION:Elderglass by Jackie Hanson.\nIn this ongoing series\, artist Jackie Hanson uses pastels to paint immersive landscapes that feature both well-known and overlooked vantages\, often (but not exclusively) from New Hampshire and Maine. While pleasant to the eye\, these works help her to think about the tangled relationship between humans and nature. This relationship is both one of forces opposed to each other and inexplicably tied together. Humans can have a devastating impact on our environment\, but in many everyday cases\, you can observe the Earth reclaiming where humans have moved on. Meanwhile\, the human race is beholden to time and ultimately to our planet as well. Jackie’s paintings explore the beauty of the balance between human activity and the Earth’s reciprocity\, and the sublime power nature holds. (Recommended reading: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer.) \nBio: Jackie Hanson spent her childhood in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire\, raised in a family where art and creativity were always encouraged. While growing up\, she became familiar with the beauty of the outdoors in New England: lakes\, mountains\, small farms\, and plenty of day trips to the ocean. After first using pastels in high school\, she rediscovered her love for them while in college\, and the way they made her feel the same excitement in the studio as when exploring the natural world. Jackie graduated from New England College’s Institute of Art and Design in 2022 with her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and plans to continue her art practice as a career.
