SUMMARY:Monarch Migration: How Radio-tagging Informs Conservation with Diane De Luca
DESCRIPTION:The last generation of monarchs travel south to overwinter in central Mexico. A journey close to 3000 miles. The placement of tiny Nanotags on migrating monarch butterflies is part of the larger Motus Project\, a global migration tracking system that NH Audubon and many partners are expanding in the Northeast. Tracking information helps determine phenology\, travel speeds\, and migration routes of the tagged monarchs. During this online presentation\, we will share what we have learned in the last two years of tagging monarchs and how this helps inform conservation.  \nThis presentation will take place virtually via Zoom.  \nPresenter:\nDiane De Luca\, NH Audubon Senior Biologist  \nCost:\n$12 for NH Audubon members\n$15 for non-members (Join or renew your membership today! Not sure of your membership status? Email our member services department or call (603) 224-9909 x310.) \nRegistration Required by November 8\, 2023  \nAll ticket purchases will generate a printable ticket with a QR code; please keep the printable ticket with QR code for your records.  \nZoom links will be sent to all virtual participants prior to the webinar.

SUMMARY:Tracking the Signs of the Season: Exploring Phenology with Diane De Luca
DESCRIPTION:What do budding wildflowers\, metamorphosing frogs\, and migrating hawks have in common? They are all undergoing life cycle phases that can be affected by climate change. Have you ever made notes about the first peeper you heard calling\, the arrival of your first warbler\, or your first sighting of a mourning cloak butterfly? Then you have been monitoring phenology! Documenting stories in our own backyards contributes to the impacts of climate change. This online presentation will share a nationwide effort to monitor these life cycle events\, the phenology project at NH Audubon\, and opportunities for you to get involved.  \nThis presentation will take place virtually via Zoom. \nPresenter:\nDiane De Luca\, Senior Biologist \nCost:\n$12 for NH Audubon members\n$15 for non-members (Join or renew your membership today! Not sure of your membership status? Email our member services department or call (603) 224-9909 x310.) \nRegistration Required by October 25\, 2023  \nThis event has been rescheduled from the original date of February 23rd. \nAll ticket purchases will generate a printable ticket with a QR code.

SUMMARY:Jeffreys Ledge Pelagic Birding Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join NH Audubon aboard MV Granite State as we explore Jeffreys Ledge\, 20 miles off the New Hampshire coast. This is an all-day expedition (between 8-10 hours at sea)\, departing from Rye Harbor\, to look for pelagic (ocean-going) seabirds on Jeffreys Ledge\, although we’ll also keep an eye out for whales and other marine life. Jeffreys Ledge is an undersea ridge running northeast from near Rockport\, Massachusetts to near Cape Elizabeth\, Maine.  Its steep sides produce upwellings of nutrient-rich waters that produce a lot of food for seabirds and marine life.    \nWhat we will see:\nFrom the upper deck\, a person with good binoculars can scan a circle of ocean a couple of miles across\, with a good chance of seeing groups of birds quite some distance away. On past fall trips\, we have seen four different species of Shearwater (Great\, Sooty\, Cory’s\, and Manx)\, Northern Gannets\, Red-necked Phalaropes in fall plumage\, Wilson’s Storm-petrel\, jaegers\, an array of near-shore species\, and random migrants. We’ve also seen several different species of whales and dolphins\, including Fin\, Minke\, Right\, and Humpback Whales\, Harbor Porpoises\, Atlantic White-Sided Dolphins\, and once a rare Sperm Whale on the outer edge of Jeffreys Ledge.     \nPresenter:\nRenowned birders and NH Audubon volunteers Steve and Jane Mirick will be our group leaders\, with Captain Pete Reynolds driving the boat. NH Audubon volunteer and avid birder Jon Woolf will coordinate logistics.   \nJoin Jon Woolf for the introductory webinar\, Introduction to Pelagic Wildlife\, on Friday\, October 6th\, 8pm-9pm (free for all attendees).  \nFor mobility\, sensory\, behavioral\, or other accessibility accommodations\, please contact Massabesic Center Director Kimmie Whiteman. \nCost:\n$80 for NH Audubon members\n$100 for non-members (Join or renew your membership today! Not sure of your membership status? Email our member services department or call (603) 224-9909 x310.)  \nRegistration Required.\nNH Audubon’s ticket system utilizes PayPal to process payments. Users are not required to use PayPal to check out; a guest option is provided. PayPal is a trusted way to pay online. \nPlease note we have set a maximum of 50 people\, to allow for comfortable spacing and an enjoyable bird-watching experience.  These trips sell out quickly\, and we do not run a waiting list.   \nThis trip is weather-dependent. Final decisions on whether we can comfortably set sail will be made the day before.  There are no rain dates. First priority for registration will be granted to participants from the previous tour’s weather cancellation\, if applicable.  \nConfirmation letters\, including the webinar Zoom link and information about what to bring and what to wear\, will be sent to all participants after we sell out (typically in early September).  \nThis fall\, NH Audubon’s Seacoast Chapter will be running a second trip on 9/5/2023.  \nPhoto: Corys Shearwater\, Steve Mirick

SUMMARY:The State of New Hampshire’s Birds with Dr. Pamela Hunt
DESCRIPTION:In 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.  \nThis presentation is available in a hybrid format.  You are welcome to join us in-person at the Massabesic Center in Auburn\, or virtually via Zoom! Please indicate your preference in the ticket options below. \nThis program will take place rain or shine.  \nPresenter:\nDr. Pamela Hunt\, NH Audubon Senior Biologist for Avian Conservation  \nCost:\n$12 for NH Audubon members\n$15 for non-members (Join or renew your membership today!

SUMMARY:The People and the Peregrines Behind the Incredible Ongoing Recovery of Falcons in NH with Chris Martin
DESCRIPTION:Decades of restoration efforts now make it possible trace generations of Peregrines from successful nest sites across the state. Sightings of banded falcons reveal their NH lineages as populations increase. The Manchester falcon nest site that we can see in NH Audubon’s nest cam has produced 70 chicks so far and over half of them have been spotted elsewhere as adults. Hear stories of individual falcons and individual people who monitor them. Through photos\, join Chris on a climb to band chicks – how does he get into the ledges and crevasses to measure and document them year after year? \n“It’s the unsolved mysteries that are important to me now\,” says Chris. “I’m getting multiple sightings of a color banded falcon spotted in Hampton who is the grandson of a Manchester bird via the Newburyport\, Plum Island bridge. Where is he now? Did he move on from Hampton? Is he part of a new breeding pair somewhere\, continuing his lineage?” \nChris Martin has been a raptor biologist for NH Audubon for more than three decades. His work focuses on recovery of the state’s endangered and threatened raptors in close collaboration with NH Fish & Game. He recruits\, trains\, and supervises an enthusiastic group of NH Audubon volunteer field observers who monitor these species across the state. \nThis presentation is available in a hybrid format.  Join us in-person at the Massabesic Center in Auburn\, or virtually via Zoom!
