SUMMARY:CT Audubon RTP Estuary Center: Winter Bird Walk
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 21; 9-11 a.m.\n\n \nWinter may not seem like the best time to look for birds. However\, as the temperature drops\, many species can still be found in the state\, especially along the coast. Waterfowl seek open water\, larks and buntings search for food in open areas\, and sparrows seek shelter in brushy areas. We’ll look for the hardy winter birds in some of the best spots in Connecticut. $13 for members; and $18 for non-members.\n– The walk at Hammonasset will be approximately 1-1.5 miles on level dirt and paved trails. Exposure to wind\, sun\, and cold temperatures is possible depending on the weather. Portable toilets on site.\n \n\n\nSaturday\, February 21; 9-11 a.m. at Hammonasset State Park\, Madison – Register Here

SUMMARY:Menunkatuck Audubon: Under South African Skies
DESCRIPTION:The southern tip of Africa is one of the greatest biodiversity hotspots in the world and attracts birders\, botanists and mammal enthusiasts from around the globe. Harboring a multitude of endemic birds\, the classic African mammals\, and a rich and unique botanical heritage\, the multi-ethnic nation of South Africa stands out as a wonderful destination for nature enthusiasts. \nThe Cape Peninsula\, often called the “Jewel of South Africa”\, offers spectacular\, wild\, rugged scenery that is home to penguins\, ostriches\, several types of antelope\, and the unique “fynbos” vegetation. Further into the interior of the country\, the world renowned Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in Africa and is home to lions\, leopards\, elephants\, and giraffes and more than 500 species of birds. \nThis program chronicles a journey from the Cape Peninsula up to Kruger National Park with vivid photos of birds\, animals and stunning landscapes and describes what it is like to travel in this varied and sometimes distinctly un-African country. \nA naturalist and birder for more than thirty years\, Gina Nichol first became fascinated with the natural world in rural upstate New York where she spent most of her childhood out of doors. In 2005\, Gina founded Sunrise Birding\, LLC to offer personalized\, authentic\, affordable private and small group bird watching and wildlife tours around the world. \nRegister to get Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Audubon CT Sharon: Light Pollution & its Effect on Birds\, Wildlife & Human Health
DESCRIPTION:Join us in a three-part Policy Potluck series where we’ll explore current local\, state\, and national legislation around birds and conservation\, climate\, and the actions we can take to support select bills and/or policies. Each program will feature speakers who are experts on their respective topics and a Q&A session. Bring your favorite dish to pass!\n \nMillions of birds pass through Connecticut every spring and fall on their way to and from their summer nesting grounds. Because our state is located along the Atlantic Flyway\, many birds use our shorelines and green spaces to rest and refuel during their trip. But light pollution has wreaked havoc on our night sky. Artificial light emitted by our homes\, buildings\, streetlights\, bridges\, and other structures can confuse and disorient birds\, causing them to land near buildings\, crash into windows\, and/or circle around for hours until they drop from exhaustion. The result is catastrophic: There are over 1 billion bird deaths in North America each year. Light pollution also impacts other wildlife\, human health\, and energy waste.\n \nPlease come to learn about the problem and what could be done to mitigate the damage in your home and community.\n\nFee: FREE\nSuitable for ages 15+\nOnline pre-registration required.\n\nCraig Repasz is the Chair and co-founder of Lights Out Connecticut. LOCT is a statewide special project of Menunkatuck Audubon Society. Craig is also President of the Friends of Stewart B McKinney NWR\, an organization devoted to supporting this important refuge. He is past president of the New Haven Bird Club\, currently serving as their Conservation Chair. He is past conservation chair of the Connecticut Ornithological Association. He has been the volunteer coordinator for the Connecticut Bird Atlas for six years. He enjoys backpacking and conducts Mountain Birdwatch surveys for the Vermont Center of Ecostudies\, focusing on the Bicknell’s Thrush and other high elevation species. \nLeo Smith is the Northeast Regional Director and Connecticut Chapter Chair of DarkSky. He works strategically to protect the night across the United States by integrating Dark Sky lighting principles into national building codes. He developed language used to amend the CT State Building Code to cover parking lot lighting and introduced two code change proposals to NY State Energy Code in 2019. He was a member of the DarkSky International board of directors (2004-2016) and voting member of the Illuminating Engineering Society’s Roadway Lighting Committee (2006-2019)\, serving on its Standard Practice and Residential Street Lighting subcommittees. He is a long-time resident of Suffield\, CT.

SUMMARY:RESCHEDULED: Western CT Bird Club: Talk - Bird Migration by Chris Wood
DESCRIPTION:The WCBC meeting Feb. 19 failed due to technical glitches and now Chris Wood has agreed to reschedule his talk for Tuesday\, March 3 at 7:00 pm on Zoom. \nRescheduled Meeting – via Zoom \n\n\n\n \n\n\nTitle:  Bird Migration and Connecticut\n \n\nWho: Christopher Wood\, Past President of the COA \n \n\n\n\n\n Chris Wood has been a birder and photographer for over 50 years. He has a Master’s Degree in biology and studied under famed ornithologist Dr. Noble Proctor.  Chris is retired after a career as a state government executive\, a land conservation and management planner with The Nature Conservancy\, a municipal planner\, and a private land use consultant.  He is a past president of the Connecticut Ornithological Association\, a founding member of the Western Connecticut Bird Club\, and he served as chair of the first Connecticut Breeding Bird Atlas steering committee.  Chris now spends much of his time photographing birds and nature\, traveling to the neotropics and southwest US to see and photograph as many different hummingbirds as possible\, and helping maintain their yard and gardens in Woodbury Connecticut.  Chris’s photography can be sampled here: CSWood PhotoSampler\n \n\n\nDescription:  The natural phenomenon of bird migration is easily observed and studied in Connecticut due to the state’s location\, geography\, and habitat diversity.  Wood will present an overview of bird migration\, with particular consideration of where Connecticut fits into the big picture of bird conservation and the enjoyment of the hobby of birding.  With a state list of over 450 birds\, many of which are migrants through the state\, Connecticut birders have the opportunity to see well over one quarter of all the bird species found in the United States.  Sustaining necessary habitats for breeding birds and migrants in our highly developed state is an important goal for land conservation efforts and this presentation discusses efforts and strategies to attain that goal.\n \nFree and open to the public.\n \n\n\nTo request the link\, please contact Chris Wood at cwood022@gmail.com.\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n
