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. 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:Something Wild Stories
DESCRIPTION:Join the NH Audubon Seacoast Chapter for their November in-person program: “Something Wild” Stories \nNew Hampshire Public Radio’s (NHPR) “Something Wild” has been exploring the intricacies of nature in NH for 25 years! Chris Martin and Dave Anderson have teamed up as the show’s co-hosts for the past 15 years. Together\, in short radio essays\, these two have taken listeners to ‘see’ some of the state’s most interesting birds\, explored many unique Granite State habitats and asked lots of local nature experts how they were first bitten by the nature bug. Join us for a peek behind the recording studio curtain. It’s sure to be an evening filled with several true stories and lots of tall tales! \nChris Martin is a Senior Biologist with NH Audubon. He has coordinated various raptor monitoring and management projects for Audubon for over 33 years\, working with volunteers and with state and federal partners to aid the recovery of Bald Eagles\, Peregrine Falcons\, Northern Harriers and Ospreys. He has also been Audubon’s voice on NHPR’s Something Wild since 2009. Chris started out wanting to be a forester\, but was always distracted by birds and eventually they became the focus of his professional career. \nDave Anderson is Senior Director of Education for the Society for the Protection of NH Forests. He joined the Forest Society in 1990. He is responsible for design\, development and delivery of conservation education programs. He is a well-known naturalist\, guiding field trips on Forest Society properties and teaching about forest ecology\, wildlife habitats and land conservation.

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.

SUMMARY:Outlawing Extinction: The Fight Over The Endangered Species Act in the 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Join the NH Audubon Seacoast Chapter for their September in-person program: Outlawing Extinction: The Fight Over The Endangered Species Act in the 1970s \nFifty years ago\, Congress passed overwhelmingly the most powerful legislation in the world to protect endangered species – and almost instantly many members regretted doing so. In this illustrated lecture\, historian Kurk Dorsey will analyze the origins of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 and the legal battles that defined what the law really has meant. Kurk Dorsey is the chair of the Department of History at the University of New Hampshire\, where he teaches environmental history and tries to save the study of history from extinction. \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.

SUMMARY:Saving a Species from Extinction\, Protecting the North Atlantic Right Whale
DESCRIPTION:Join the New Hampshire Audubon Seacoast Chapter for their in person November program. \nWith fewer than 350 whales remaining\, the North Atlantic right whale is one of the rarest large whale species in the world. Once a heavily targeted commercial whaling species\, right whales remain vulnerable to contemporary human activities\, including vessel strikes and entanglement in fishing gear. Their recovery is also threatened by low reproduction\, habitat loss\, disease and environmental contaminants. For more than 40 years\, the New England Aquarium has been in the forefront of right whale research and conservation efforts and our work has been integral to informing national and international efforts to protect these elusive giants. This program presented by Heather Pettis will share the history of this iconic species as well as the tremendous efforts underway to save them from extinction. \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 7 pm and the meetings begin at 7:30 pm unless otherwise noted (entrance doors locked at 7:45 pm). The public is welcome free of charge.

SUMMARY:Birding 201
DESCRIPTION:Seacoast Chapter Program \nWednesday\, May 11\n \nYou know the basics\, so let’s focus on taking things to the next level. This  interactive program by David Blezard will teach different tricks and tips\, as we spend some time getting to know some of the more challenging groups of birds to identify within the northeastern US: sparrows\, flycatchers\, warblers\, vireos\, and more. Brush up your skills just in time for the spring migration. \nBio: David Blezard started birding in New Hampshire when he first took UNH’s Ornithology course 30 years ago. He then went on to be a teaching assistant for that course\, became involved with the Seacoast Chapter of NH Audubon\, and has given many talks about birds and birding since. David is the current President and Treasurer of the Seacoast Chapter. \nVisit the Seacoast Chapter website for further details and to register for the free zoom talk.

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: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). The public is welcome free of charge. 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.

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). The public is welcome free of charge. Meetings are held at the Seacoast Science Center at Odiorne State Park\, Route 1A\, Rye\, NH. Wheelchair accessible.

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”. This is the Seacoast Chapter annual business meeting for the election of executive board officers. \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).
