SUMMARY:The Shaping of New Hampshire’s Landscapes by Past Glaciations
DESCRIPTION:This program by Dr. Joe Licciardi\, Professor of Earth Sciences at UNH\, will explore the glacial history of New Hampshire and how these processes helped create and sculpt the modern landforms and landscapes we see today. Geologically speaking\, the glacial features that dominate much of the state are quite young and developed about 15\,000 years ago during the Pleistocene Epoch. The presentation will highlight the distinctive land forms in the New Hampshire Seacoast that owe their origin to past glacial activity and sea-level changes. \nBio: Dr. Joe Licciardi is a Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of New Hampshire. He received his B.A.s in Geology and Geography from State University of New York at Geneseo\, and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Geology from Oregon State University. Since starting his position at UNH in 2002\, he has taught classes and conducted research in glacial geology\, historical geology\, paleoclimatology\, and volcanology. His research group has worked in a range of study sites including Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks\, Alaska\, Iceland\, and Peru. Several student-led projects have recently focused on the glacial history of the New Hampshire Seacoast region. \nAll of the in-person programs start at 7:30pm\, with 7pm refreshments. For more information see the chapter website.

SUMMARY:Identification and Role of Native and Non-native Shrubs as Habitat for Birds - June 14
DESCRIPTION:Join the NH Audubon Seacoast Chapter for their in person\, outdoors June programs: Identification and Role of Native and Non-native Shrubs as Habitat for Birds on June 12 and June 14. \nWednesday\, June 12 5:30-8:00pm and Friday\, June 14 7:30-10:00am at Pickering Ponds trails\, Rochester. Each program will be limited to 15 participants with no repeat registrants. This event will be held entirely outdoors and will be held as long as it is not raining. Participants should bring their binoculars and clothing appropriate for the weather conditions at the time of the event. \nThis program\, by Matt Tarr of UNH Cooperative Extension\, will teach you how to identify the most common native and non-native shrubs that comprise many bird habitats in NH. We will identify each shrub species\, discuss how each species functions as bird habitat\, and which shrubs you want to encourage on your land to benefit birds. We will also be looking and listening for birds (of course!) and sharing our tips for how to identify the birds we encounter during the trip. \nMatt Tarr is Extension Professor\, State Wildlife Habitat Specialist for the University of NH Cooperative Extension. Much of Matt’s research and work is focused on determining how non-native shrubs function as habitat for songbirds and on how birds respond to land-use and habitat management practices at different landscape scales. Matt is an avid birder who enjoys photographing and recording birds. \nEach program will be limited to 15 participants with no repeat registrants. This event will be held entirely outdoors and will be held as long as it is not raining. Participants should bring their binoculars and clothing appropriate for the weather conditions at the time of the event (see Pickering Ponds beginner bird walk for directions).

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:Woodpeckers: A Unique and Fascinating Family
DESCRIPTION:Join the NH Audubon Seacoast Chapter for their in person March program: Woodpeckers: A Unique and Fascinating Family. \nCome and hear Dana and Bob Fox tell the fascinating story about the woodpecker family of birds. With 233 species in the world\, they are found almost worldwide where trees are abundant. They can’t sing like some other birds\, but they certainly can make a lot of noise. They don’t migrate\, but survive on a variety of foods. They are the super craftsmen of the bird world using their bill like a chisel. Their four toes hold them vertically firm on a tree while they carve out their spacious homes and find food. We will go a bit deeper to see how this family evolved\, their special biology and how they live in difficult locations. Of course\, we have come up with some interesting stories about many of the most interesting species that might surprise you. \nDana and Bob Fox both began birding in their youth. They have birded the US (list 750 species) and the world (6500 species) visiting 6 continents and over 40 countries. They have given numerous talks in New England about the birds of countries they have visited and on crows\, loons and most recently hummingbirds. \nDana joined the South Shore Bird Club (SSBC) in 1951 when she was 12 years old. She has spent most summers in Tuftonboro\, NH where she became fascinated by loons. The Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) presented her with their Spirit of the Loon Award. She is a past Secretary of the Nuttall Ornithological Club\, Past President of the Merrimack Valley Bird Club and frequent speaker. She has written articles on birding and crows in the American Birding Association’s Birding magazine and one on the Lawrence Crow Roost in Bird Observer. Dana coordinates the Tin Mountain Conservation Group’s Loon Monitoring Project for LPC and helps to train the LPC summer biologists on interacting with volunteers. \nBob\, as a student at Harvard and living in Quincy\, MA\, was an early leader of the SSBC. With Allan Keith\, a former member of the SSBC\, he co-authored\, Birds of New Hampshire\, a 477 page book describing the status and distribution of birds known from NH (2013). He has published in Auk and Wilson Bulletin\, written species accounts for the first MA Breeding Bird Atlas as well as articles in publications of both NH and Mass Audubon Societies. His MA species list is 451. In the past\, Bob collected specimens for five museums including the Museum of Comparative Zoology. In addition\, he helped found Manomet Bird Observatory\, and is past President of South Shore Bird Club. He received the Goodhue-Elkins Award (2014) from NH Audubon for “contributions to the ornithology of NH.” \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.

SUMMARY:There's Something About Owls
DESCRIPTION:Join the NH Audubon Seacoast Chapter for their remote February program: There’s Something About Owls. \nOwls are much loved in the bird world and seeing any owl is indeed a thrill. The secretive lives of owls are part of their mystique and can make them very difficult to find in the wild. “There’s Something About Owls”\, presented by Gina Nichol\, founder of Sunrise Birding LLC\, goes beyond the incredible adaptations of owls and reveals strategies to increase your chances of seeing owls in your backyard\, local patch\, and beyond. Preparation for your search\, ethical field practices\, skills\, and tactics for success are discussed and illustrated with anecdotes and experiences from the field. Suggestions for what you can do to help owls are also included. \nIn 2005\, Gina Beebe Nichol founded Sunrise Birding LLC\, a company offering personalized\, authentic\, affordable birding and wildlife tours around the world. A naturalist and birder for more than thirty years\, Gina first became fascinated with the natural world in rural upstate New York where she spent most of her childhood exploring the outdoors. \nShe received her B.S. in Environmental Education from Cornell University and her M.A. in Educational Technology from Fairfield University. She began her career as a Naturalist at the Rye Nature Center in Rye\, NY. Gina’s interest in human/wildlife interactions then took her to Volunteers for Wildlife in Cold Spring Harbor\, NY. There she coordinated the operation of a 24-hour Wildlife Crisis Hotline and developed programs dealing with wildlife rehabilitation. \nIn 1987\, she became Program Director for the National Audubon Society in Greenwich\, CT. In that capacity\, she led numerous environmental workshops and local field trips. Also while there\, Gina also led ecotours for Audubon Nature Odysseys. Destinations included Greenland\, Iceland\, Scotland\, the Pacific Northwest and Baja CA. Upon leaving Audubon\, Gina taught biology\, chemistry\, physical and environmental science\, and computer courses for several years at Greenwich Academy in Greenwich\, CT. \nGina’s avid interest in wildlife biology led her to the Yellowstone Institute in Wyoming where she studied animal behavior as well as methods for tracking animal movements. She also worked on a research project on the Isle of Skye in Scotland where she investigated habitat requirements of Eurasian otters. In addition\, she participated in an Earthwatch study of mountain lions in the Jim Sage Mountains in Idaho. \nHer varied interests and love of the natural world have taken her to all seven continents. She has led wildlife tours to Central and South America\, Alaska\, Antarctica\, China\, Kenya and countless countries in between. \nThis program will be held via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Empty Skies: The Decline of Aerial Insectivores in the Northeast
DESCRIPTION:Join the NH Audubon Seacoast Chapter for their October in-person program: Empty Skies: The Decline of Aerial Insectivores in the\nNortheast \nAerial insectivores are those birds that feed primarily on insects captured in flight and include nightjars\, swifts and swallows. Many of these species\, particularly swallows and the Chimney Swift\, are experiencing significant population declines both in NH and across the Northeast and sometimes across their entire ranges. This program\, presented by Pam Hunt\, NH Audubon Avian Conservation Biologist\, provides an overview of these species’ biology and population trends with a focus on swallows. What are the threats faced by swallows in the Northeast and what is and can be done to conserve them? \nPam Hunt has been interested in birds since the tender age of 12\, when an uncle took her to Brigantine National Wildlife Refuge in NJ. She went on to earn a B.S. in biology from Cornell University\, an M.A. in zoology from the University of Montana and\, in 1995\, a Ph.D. from Dartmouth College. Pam came to NH Audubon in 2000 after five years as adjunct faculty at Colby-Sawyer College in New London\, NH. In her current position as Avian Conservation Biologist\, she works closely with NH Fish and Game to coordinate and prioritize bird research and monitoring in the state and also authored NH’s “State of the Birds” report. Specific areas of interest include habitat use by early successional birds (particularly whip-poor-wills)\, conservation of aerial insectivores\, and the effects of events outside the breeding season on long-distance migrants. Pam also coordinated the “NH Dragonfly Survey\,” a five-year project that mapped distributions of these insects throughout the state and remains active in the dragonfly field. \nIn 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. Cancellations will be posted on the Seacoast Chapter website.
