SUMMARY:Native Bees of New England - their Diversity and Natural History
DESCRIPTION:How many kinds of bees can you name: honey bees\, bumble bees\, sweat bees perhaps? Most people are familiar with our non-native honey bees and their role in pollinating commercial crops\, but few are aware of the great diversity of native bees that we have in our region and the roles that they play in pollinating our indigenous plants. \nJoin High School Biology Teacher and Native Bee Enthusiast Michael Veit for a presentation about the wild bees of our region\, their diversity\, beauty\, importance\, and fascinating life histories. \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.

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: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: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: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
