SUMMARY:Audubon Society of Kalamazoo Program
DESCRIPTION:Chapter Event – Audubon Society of Kalamazoo – Michigan Wetlands Loss Mitigation\nMonday\, November 23\, 7:30 PM\nMichigan’s total wetland loss since 1978 is estimated at 41\,000 acres\, with the rate of decline slowing since then\,” wrote Garret Ellison in the Kalamazoo Gazette\, September 20\, 2015. Eleven counties in eastern Michigan have lost 80% to 85% of their wetlands. Bird and wildlife habitat\, water quality\, and water level fluctuations are significantly impacted. What can be done about it?\nPeter Wyckoff is a Biosystems and Agricultural Engineer who does wetland delineations\, GPS surveys\, and HydroCAD modeling to assist State or Federal road builders and land developers meet the requirements for reducing the impact\, or to create compensation for the loss of wetlands. He is mitigating the loss of natural habitat to achieve a no net loss of wetlands habitat. What gets investigated? — Natural stream channel design\, hydraulic engineering\, and design of aquaponics systems. Pete will help us understand what that means. Because of the Federal Clean Water Act\, development and construction projects that impact a wetland are required to mitigate the damage by creating a wetland of equal or greater functioning capacity. This is environmental habitat protection at the basics.\nPete’s work stretches through more states than Michigan\, but he is a Michigan State graduate and works out of the Ducks Unlimited office in Ann Arbor\, so he will have lots of Michigan stories to tell us.\nYou may remember Pete was scheduled to present this program last February. He became ill\, and we had to call on Josh Haas to bring in a program at the last minute. Well\, we get another chance to hear about this vital environmental issue.\nJoin us Monday\, November 23\, at People’s Church\, 1758 North 10th Street\, Kalamazoo. The program starts at 7:30 PM and is preceded by a social time with light refreshments at 7 PM. Guests and the general public are encouraged to attend. Handicap parking and access is at either the front or rear of the building. Please remember to bring your own coffee cup.\nContact: Larry Boutelle\, 269-372-0678 \n

SUMMARY:Hawk Migration and ID - Barry County Bird Club
DESCRIPTION:Hawk Talk Presented by Josh Haas\n \nDecember 16\, 7:00 PM at Barry County Enrichment Center\nJosh Haas will be giving a talk on hawk migration and how to identify hawks in the air. \nJosh Hass describes the talk: “I’ve done many talks related to Hawks but this one is pretty special.  While most agree Hawks bring a sense of wonder\, they also bring a sense of struggle when it comes to ID’ing them properly.  Part of my talk will feature side by side video footage comparing Hawks in flight at the same time.  It’s very eye opening to see them in this way.  I hope you will all join me for an enjoyable evening out.” \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Audubon Society of Kalamazoo Event
DESCRIPTION:Chapter Event – Audubon Society of Kalamazoo\nMonday\, February 22: 7:00 PM\nDo you think the American Woodcock is a strange bird? It doesn’t even live in the woods! Or because of its unusually short legs\, its unusually chubby body\, or its unusually long beak\, let’s not even get into its sexual behaviors. Yes\, it is a strange bird. But like many of us\, it does not like cold weather (the woodcocks went south). Maybe that is why Jordyn is available to come and speak to us in February. \nJordyn is the Wildlife Outreach Technician for the DNR. Raised in a small northernMichigan town “where the main street is lined with tractors and there is only one flashing traffic light\,” she is now running the PureMichigan Hunt program and is the communications contact for Southwest Michigan. In February that has her out doing school programs and speaking to Audubon groups about strange birds. \nJoin us\, this bird will warm your hearts\, on Monday\, February 22\, at People’s Church\, 1758 North 10th Street\, Kalamazoo. The program starts at 7:30 PM and is preceded by a social time with light refreshments at 7 PM. Guests and the general public are encouraged to attend. Handicap parking and access is at either the front or rear of the building. Please remember to bring your own coffee cup. \nQuestions? Contact: Larry Boutelle\, 269-372-0678

SUMMARY:Audubon Society of Kalamazoo Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Chapter Event – Audubon Society of Kalamazoo – “The Great Colorado Chicken Trip”\nMonday\, March 28: 7:30 – 8:30 PM\nYes\, chickens! Chickens are birds\, too! And especially interesting if they are Lesser Prairie- Chickens or Greater Prairie-Chickens or their relatives: Sharp-tailed and Dusky Grouse\, Greater and Gunnison Sage-Grouse\, White-tailed Ptarmigan\, and more. There is no better place in North America to see native grouse and “chicken-like” birds than the state of Colorado – and no better time to find them than in April. This year we are going just four days early\, onMarch 28! \n\nKip Miller is a consummate naturalist\, birder\, and presenter and has been with the Berrien County Parks at Love Creek Nature Center for 34 years. He will take us on an armchair tour of Colorado from the eastern plains to the intermountain parks and mountain ridges to see Lesser and Greater Prairie- Chickens\, Greater and Gunnison Sage-Grouse\, Sharp-tailed and Dusky Grouse\, White-tailed Ptarmigan\, and a few other not-so-chickenish birds. \n\nBesides his work with the Berrien County Parks\, Kip enjoys sharing his enthusiasm for birds by hosting\, organizing\, and guiding birding events and tours – both close to home and in Colorado and other places. You may discover the urge to see more. \n\nPlease come join us at the People’s Church\, 1758 North 10th Street\, Kalamazoo. The program starts at 7:30 PM and is preceded by a social time with light refreshments at 7:00 PM. Guests and the general public are encouraged to attend. Handicap parking and access is at either the front or rear of the building. Please remember to bring your own coffee mug to reduce our dishwashing. \n\nQuestions?
