SUMMARY:MOTUS: A Revolution in Migration Research
DESCRIPTION:Join Carol Foss\, NH Audubon’s Senior Advisor for Science and Policy\, for an introduction to the Motus Wildlife Tracking System — a new research network that is revolutionizing the study of winged migration by tracking the movements of small birds\, bats\, and even dragonflies and monarch butterflies who have been fitted with tiny radio transmitters (nanotags).  Carol will discuss how Motus works\, what we’re learning from it\, and efforts that are underway to expand the network in the Northeast. \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. \n

SUMMARY:Pollinator Panel Discussion: Lessons from the Field
DESCRIPTION:Join New Hampshire Audubon and collaborators from UNH Cooperative Extension and the Xerces Society for a Webinar Panel Discussion on Creating Pollinator Habitat  \nThursday\, November 4: 7PM – 9PM \nThe panel discussion will share best practices around establishing pollinator habitat in New England. Discussion topics will include techniques for creating pollinator meadows\, native plant selection\, benefits to pollinators and invasives through the lens of insects. Presentations by the panelists will be followed by an open Q&A by the audience. Panelists include: Marc Nutter\, NH Audubon; Alina Harris\, Xerces Society; Emma Erler and Matt Tarr\, UNH Extension Cooperative Extension. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Registration is requested. This project is being funded by the State Conservation Commission’s Moose Plate Grant Program. \n(Free) Registration via Zoom \nSaturday\, November 20: 10AM – 12 Noon \nAs a follow up to the Webinar\, an in-person walkthrough of the McLane Center project to learn more will occur on November 20 from 10am-12pm. We will gather at the McLane Center in Concord to view the progress of converting one acre of old field to a pollinator meadow. NH Audubon with the help of our collaborators are using a variety of techniques across one acre to better access what preparation methods work best at this scale. The field trip will allow participants to see and more fully discuss the details of field prep and seeding. \nSee that event\, here\, for more details and a registration link. \nPhoto: Volunteers help create pollinator meadow habitat at McLane Center\, by Marc Nutter.

SUMMARY:NH’s Winter Birds
DESCRIPTION:NH Audubon’s “Backyard Winter Bird Survey” is a citizen science project that has been collecting data on the state’s birds since 1967. In this program\, Dr. Pamela Hunt uses the Survey’s data to illustrate how populations of our common winter birds have been changing over time. In the process\, we’ll explore many other aspects of bird biology. \nNovember 9\, 2021 – 6:30-7:30 pm (virtual via MS Teams) \nClick here to join the meeting \nGoffstown Public Library \n  \n

SUMMARY:From Finches to Launching of the Finch Research Network
DESCRIPTION:Irruptions of finches from the north in recent years inspired Matthew Young to launch the Finch Research Network (FiRN) in fall 2020. Join us for his lively presentation about redpolls\, Evening Grosbeaks\, the distribution and ecology of different Red Crossbill flight calls\, and the launching of FiRN and its future. \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.

Young\, M.S.\, President and Founder of the Finch Research Network (FiRN): Matt has been observing and enjoying nature since a very young age. He’s lived in Central New York the past 23 years and it was during this time\, when he’s worked as a social worker for 10 years\, that he really started studying everything from birds to orchids\, and bogs and fens. Matt received his B.S in Water Resources with a minor in Meteorology from SUNY-Oneonta and his M.S. in Ornithology from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry/Syracuse University in 2003. Matt did his masters research on avian diversity in restored wetlands of central New York at the Great Swamp Conservancy. He was a Regional Editor of The Kingbird\, the state ornithological journal in New York\, for 10 years\, was an Adjunct Professor in Environmental Studies at SUNY-Cortland\, and currently teaches an Intro to Birding class for Cornell University and is the Board Chair at The Wetland Trust. \nHe worked at the Cornell Lab across 15+ years where he did extensive field work for the Lab’s Cerulean and Golden-winged Warblers atlas projects\, and was project lead on the Lab’s first Finch Irruptive Bird Survey for Bird Source in 1999. He was the Collections Management Leader/Audio Engineer at the Macaulay Library ~12 years where he edited sounds for several Merlin packs around the world in addition to being the lead audio engineer on guides\, the Songs of the Warblers of North America\, Audubon Society Voices of Hawaii’s Birds\, and the Cornell Lab’s Guides to Bird Sounds\, the North America Master and Essential Sets. He’s been a tour guide leader for Victor Emanuel Nature Tours\, written finch species accounts for breeding bird atlases and Birds of the World\, has published several papers about the Red Crossbill vocal complex\, and is the President and Founder of the Finch Research Network (FiRN).

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
