SUMMARY:Red Knots & Horseshoe Crabs: A Talk by Author Deborah Cramer\, August 1
DESCRIPTION:Deborah Cramer\, author\, at Wingersheek Beach in Gloucester\, MA\, November 13\, 2014.© 2014 Shawn G. Henry • 978.590.4869 \nRed knots\, flying between Tierra del Fuego and their Arctic nesting grounds each year\, take the measure of a shoreline running the length of two continents. Its flight coincides with a different migration – that of the familiar horseshoe crab. When the moon is full in spring\, horseshoe crabs emerge from Long Island Sound and other coastal waters to lay their eggs\, a prime source of protein for Red Knots. \nIt’s a feat of biological timing that has gone on for eons. But both creatures are in peril. In many of the birds’ critical stopovers\, it is a shoreline of the Anthropocene\, increasingly reshaped by development\, overfishing\, beach erosion and storm surges. These changes are touching the knots\, listed as endangered in a number of countries along its route\, and now the first U.S. bird listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act because its future is imperiled by global warming. Author Deborah Cramer accompanied the birds along their extraordinary migration to bring back a firsthand account in her award-winning book The Narrow Edge: A Tiny Bird\, An Ancient Crab\, and An Epic Journey. Join her to explore the lives of Red Knots in a rapidly changing world\, and the work of the many scientists dedicated to providing the birds safe passage. \nCramer’s talk\, sponsored by Michigan Audubon\, is free and open to the public\, however\, attendees are asked to register by July 16. The event is part of the inaugural meeting of the newly formed American Ornithological Society and the Society of Canadian Ornithologists/Société des ornithologistes du Canada. \nIn addition to the plight of the Red Knot and the horseshoe crab\, her talk will also focus on the use of the horseshoe crab’s blue blood to detect harmful bacteria during surgery on humans\, a procedure that protects patients from life-threatening infections. \nCopies of The Narrow Edge will be for sale\, and the talk will be followed by a book signing by the author. \nHonors for The Narrow Edge:\nBest Book\, National Academy of Sciences\nRachel Carson Book Award\nWinner of the Reed Award in Environmental Writing \n>> CLICK HERE TO REGISTER BY JULY 16

SUMMARY:Workshop: Swifts in the City!
DESCRIPTION:Swifts in the City! A free workshop hosted by Michigan Audubon\n\n\nDate: Tuesday\, August 8 \nTime: 7 – 8:30 p.m. \nLocation: Michigan Audubon Headquarters\, 2310 Science Parkway\, Suite 200\, Okemos\, MI 48864 \n\n\nPlease join us for Michigan Audubon’s August Workshop: Swifts in the City! Have you heard chipping and chattering above your head when you’re in an urban downtown area or neighborhood? Have you seen small “bats” flying during the daytime? Chimney Swifts are unique\, “cigar-shaped” birds that live alongside people in many cities and neighborhoods and are easily confused with bats. They play an important role as natural pest control by consuming thousands of flying insects per day. Sadly\, these birds are declining across the country\, but you can help! Join us to learn about these charming city-loving birds and find out how to help through monitoring and creating habitat. The workshop will include an indoor talk followed by a short carpool to a Chimney Swift roost location to witness the amazing spectacle of roosting behavior. This workshop is great for non-birders and birders alike\, newbies to experts. Educators or community leaders are encouraged to attend as counting swifts in the fall is a fun\, easy activity for all ages and makes for a great evening community event. And consider participating in “A Swift Night Out”\, an annual continent-wide effort that began in 2001 to raise awareness about and encourage interest in Chimney Swifts and Vaux’s Swifts. On one night (Friday\, Saturday or Sunday) over the second weekend of August and/or September observe a roost starting about 30 minutes before sunset and estimate the number of swifts that enter the site. Then submit your data to the Michigan Audubon Chimney Swift Roost Monitoring project.

SUMMARY:Swift Night Out in East Lansing
DESCRIPTION:Join Michigan Audubon for a social hour and swift viewing event on Monday\, August 28 at 7 p.m. We will meet at Crunchy’s for a drink or dinner\, then walk to the nearby People’s Church (200 W Grand River Ave\, East Lansing\, MI) at 8 p.m. to watch the roost chimney. Swifts will start gathering in large numbers around 8:30 p.m. and the spectacle will end by 9 p.m. No birding experience or equipment is necessary but cameras and binoculars are encouraged. Come out for a fun\, casual evening to view these urban birds as they migrate south! \nRSVP to Rachelle Roake at rroake@michiganaudubon.org or (517) 580-7364. This event is weather dependent and will be canceled for rain. Those who RSVP ahead of time will receive an email notification announcing any changes. \nIf you’re not able to join us\, you can still help! Surveying for swifts is fun\, easy\, and suitable for all ages. Potential roost locations are fun to search for – start looking for large\, uncapped chimneys on historical buildings\, old factories\, schools\, churches\, courthouses\, or libraries. Learn more about conducting surveys\, find data sheets\, and enter survey data at our website at https://www.michiganaudubon.org/our-conservation-impact/chsw/
