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. Cancellations will be posted on The Seacoast Chapter web site: http://www.seacoastchapter.org.

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).
