SUMMARY:Walden Warming: Climate Change Comes to Thoreau's Concord
DESCRIPTION:Seacoast Chapter Program \nWednesday\, April 13\n \nHenry David Thoreau was a climate change scientist! For the past 18 years\, presenter Professor Richard Primack and his team have been using Thoreau’s records from the 1850s and other Massachusetts data sources to document the earlier flowering and leafing out times of plants\, the earlier flight times of butterflies and the more variable response of migratory birds. Plants in Concord are also changing in abundance due to a warming climate. This work is now being extended to the neglected autumn season. What would Thoreau tell us to do about global warming if he were alive today? \nBio: Richard Primack is a Professor at Boston University with a specialization in plant ecology and conservation. He has written four widely used conservation biology textbooks; local co-authors helped to produce 38 translations with local examples. He was Editor-in-Chief of the journal Biological Conservation and served as President of the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation. His research has been featured in the New York Times\, the Boston Globe\, and Nation Geographic\, and he is often interviewed on National Public Radio. Primack shares his research in the popular book Walden Warming: Climate Change Comes to Thoreau’s Woods. \nVisit the Seacoast Chapter website for further details and to register for the free zoom talk.

SUMMARY:A Multi-Regional Assessment of Eastern Whip-poor-will
DESCRIPTION:A Multi-Regional Assessment of Eastern Whip-poor-will (Antrostomus vociferus) Occupancy Within Managed Forests Using Autonomous Recording Units \nWednesday\, February 9 \nOver the past half century\, many eastern forest birds have experienced significant population declines. These declines have in part been attributed to habitat loss and degradation. State and federal agencies have initiated conservation efforts to improve habitat conditions for several forest dependent wildlife. The recent availability of low-cost autonomous recording units (ARUs) has shown great promise to facilitate monitoring\, particularly for species that are logistically difficult to survey (e.g.\, nocturnal species). A collaborative research project involving research scientists from the University of Massachusetts\, Indiana University of Pennsylvania\, SUNY College of Environmental Science & Forestry\, University of Pittsburgh and University of Maryland deployed ARUs across hundreds of managed forests from North Carolina to Maine to assess whip-poor-will occupancy. \nIn this presentation\, project lead Jeffery (JT) Larkin will discuss whip-poor-will ecology and share initial monitoring results. \nVisit the Seacoast Chapter website for further details and to register for the free zoom talk.

SUMMARY:New Hampshire'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. \n**This event is now a Zoom event (no longer in-person): \nRegister in advance for this meeting. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nBio: Pam 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\, M.A. in zoology from the University of Montana\, and a Ph.D. from Dartmouth College in 1995. Pam came to NH Audubon in 2000 after five years as adjunct faculty at Colby-Sawyer College in New London. 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 (e.g.\, swifts and swallows)\, 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. \nThe Seacoast Chapter meets monthly on the second Wednesday except the months of July and August unless there is a special program. 7 pm social and the meetings begin at 7:30 pm unless otherwise noted (entrance doors locked at 7:45 pm).

SUMMARY:Avian Protection at NorthWestern Energy in Montana
DESCRIPTION:Power companies\, wildlife agencies\, and conservation organizations have collaborated for decades to reduce bird electrocutions and collisions with power lines. NorthWestern Energy in Montana implements an Avian Protection Plan across its entire electrical system. New power lines are constructed following bird-friendly standards and existing lines are retrofitted with bird protection devices where electrocutions or collisions have occurred. This presentation by Marco Restani\, Biologist at NorthWestern Energy\, will review the legislation protecting birds\, the biology and engineering behind bird-power line interactions\, and management to reduce conflicts. Examples from waterfowl to raptors to songbirds will illustrate the diversity of challenges experienced in Montana. \nBio: Marco Restani began birding with the Seacoast Chapter of NH Audubon in the late 1970s and the mentorship he received launched him on a lifetime journey with birds. Originally an ‘Army Brat’\, he attended high school in Durham before heading west to the University of Montana\, Montana State\, and Utah State. Following post-doctoral research at the University of Washington\, Marco was Professor of Wildlife Ecology for 15 years. He is a Biologist at NorthWestern Energy in Montana responsible for developing and implementing the company’s Avian Protection Program. \nThe Seacoast Chapter meets monthly on the second Wednesday except the months of July and August unless there is a special program. 7 pm social and the meetings begin at 7:30 pm unless otherwise noted (entrance doors locked at 7:45 pm).

SUMMARY:Birding the Lesser Antilles
DESCRIPTION:Bob and Dana Fox visited 10 islands in the Lesser Antilles\, a chain of islands in the southeast Caribbean in 2020. Their talk will discuss the amazing geology of the region\, its rich history of sugar plantations and rum making and its wonderful birds. These islands exhibit a high degree of endemism and each island introduced them to many new and interesting species and varied sub-species. \nMagnificent Frigatebird\, by Bob and Dana Fox.\nThey visited four of the islands on their own with local guides moving from island to island by ferry or plane. They then flew to Barbados and boarded the elegant Sea Cloud\, a four-masted sailing vessel from which they explored the remaining five islands. It was a fascinating trip which they managed to squeeze in just before the pandemic changed the world. \nBio: Dana and Bob Fox both began bir ding in their youth. They have birded the US (list 750 species) and the world (6300 species) visiting 6 continents and over 40 countries. They have given numerous talks in MA and NH about the birds of countries they have visited. Dana has spent 50+ summers in NH where she became fascinated by loons. The Loon Preservation Committee 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. Bob has 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 A uk 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 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”.

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:The American Prairie Reserve
DESCRIPTION:New Hampshire Audubon Seacoast Chapter \nWednesday May 12\, 2021 7:30 pm Eastern Time (US and Canada) Zoom Program: The American Prairie Reserve \nBetsy Robinson and Steve Gehman\, who have had careers as wildlife biologists and naturalist guides\, will present an introduction to the ongoing effort to create a 3 million acre prairie reserve in central Montana. They will discuss some of the unique characteristics of the prairie ecosystem and will feature some of their favorite birds and experiences from their time documenting bird species presence and abundance on the Reserve. Other topics include the value of prairie dogs and the presence of native large mammals and carnivores\, and the importance of establishing a large herd of free-ranging bison. \nBio: Betsy and Steve both grew up in the East\, followed different paths westward\, and then pursued careers as wildlife biologists and naturalist guides. They met while working for National Audubon’s Camp in The West at Dubois\, Wyoming. They later married and founded Wild Things Unlimited\, a non-profit organization that they ran for 22 years. Operating out of Bozeman\, Montana\, they conducted studies of wolverines\, Canada lynx and grizzly bears in the northern Rocky Mountains\, as well as prairie birds in central Montana. Between 2005 and 2013\, Betsy and Steve spent parts of four summers documenting bird species presence and abundance on the American Prairie Reserve. They moved to New Hampshire in 2019 and live in Hillsborough with their two golden retrievers. \nAll 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. \nPlease register in advance for this meeting. You can register right up through the start time. \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nFor more information see our website. Cancellations will be announced on the programs page. \nThe Seacoast Chapter of NH Audubon thanks AARP New Hampshire for their sponsorship. \nPhotos: Ferruginous Hawk; American Prairie Reserve\, by Steven Gehman.

SUMMARY:Ravens\, Wolves and People
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday April 14\, 2021 7:30 pm Eastern Time (US and Canada) Zoom Program \nJoin the New Hampshire Audubon Seacoast Chapter for their April program: Ravens\, Wolves and People. \nWolves chasing ravens; photo by John Marzluff.\nCommon ravens are known to scavenge from wolves and people\, but the degree to which they exploit  these and other sources of food has not been studied in detail. In 2019\, Matthias Loretto and presenter John Marzluff began tagging ravens in Yellowstone National Park with long-lasting GSM transmitters. After tagging >60 ravens and relating their movements to those of people and wolves\, they are gaining an appreciation of the raven’s reliance on both providers. John will describe the movements of territorial and non-breeding ravens and relate these to wolf- and human-provisioned foods. He will focus on the exploits of individual birds to emphasize variability. They observed ravens using wolf kills\, but the ravens’ discovery appears more incidental than a result of following or purposeful search. As they begin to quantify the relationship between wolves and ravens\, they may learn more about raven and wolf synchrony\, but at present\, it appears to be weak\, with discovery of kills occurring during the day rather than after communal roosting. Ravens made extensive use of anthropogenic resources\, including direct handouts\, wastewater treatment ponds\, dumps\, agriculture\, roadkills\, and hunter offal. Territorial ravens have extensive knowledge of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and exploit areas in excess of 6500 square miles to obtain their yearly needs. \nJohn Marzluff is James W. Ridgeway Professor of Wildlife Science at the University of Washington. His graduate (Northern Arizona University) and initial post-doctoral (University of Vermont) research focused on the social behavior and ecology of jays and ravens. He continues this theme investigating the intriguing behavior of crows\, ravens\, and jays. His current research focuses on the interactions of ravens and wolves in Yellowstone. He teaches Ornithology\, Governance and Conservation of Rare Species\, Field Research in Yellowstone\, and Natural and Cultural History of Costa Rica. \nProfessor Marzluff has written five books and edited several others. His Welcome to Subirdia (2014 Yale) discovers that moderately settled lands host a splendid array of biological diversity and suggests ways in which people can steward these riches to benefit birds and themselves. His most recent book\, In Search of Meadowlarks (2020 Yale) connects our agriculture and diets to the conservation of birds and other wildlife. \nDr. Marzluff has mentored over 40 graduate students and authored over 140 scientific papers on various aspects of bird behavior and wildlife management. He is a member of the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s Recovery Team for the critically endangered Mariana Crow\, a former member of the Washington Biodiversity Council\, a Fellow of the American Ornithologist’s Union\, and a National Geographic Explorer. \nAll are welcome to attend our Wednesday April 14\, 2021 program via Zoom. The Zoom program Meeting begins at 7:30pm\, but feel free to sign on early after 7pm to socialize.
