SUMMARY:Seminar Series: The Art of Birding "by Ear" with Jim McGrath
DESCRIPTION:Studying field guides is valuable for identifying wild birds around you\, but what about the ones that you can’t see? When you gain the ability to “bird by ear\,” you propel yourself to a level of avian awareness that blows away identification by sight alone. Join Nature Discovery’s Jim McGrath for this visually and auditorially-stimulating presentation. Jim will introduce participants to word handles and other tips to help you recognize and remember a host of common birdsongs. At the presentation’s conclusion\, weather permitting\, participants are invited to step outside and begin to put their newly-gained skills to work. Don’t forget your binoculars! Don’t have binoculars? No worries! We’ll have extras on hand. \nThis event is part of the Michigan Audubon Seminar Series. Seminars are free and open to the public. Sessions take place on the second Monday of each month from 7 – 8 p.m. at the Michigan Audubon office located at 2310 Science Parkway\, Suite 200\, Okemos MI\, 48864.

SUMMARY:Seminar Series: Reducing Avian Collisions with Communications Towers
DESCRIPTION:Reducing Avian Collisions with Communications Towers: A community effort with Dr. Joelle Gehring \nAn estimated 6.8 million migratory birds collide with communications towers every year in the United States. Tower height\, tower lighting\, sitting within the landscape\, and the presence of supporting guy wires influences the numbers of avian collisions. Michigan research determined that taller towers\, towers with guy wires\, and towers with non-flashing lights are involved in significantly more avian collisions than shorter towers\, unguyed towers\, and towers lit with only flashing lights. In 2015\, the Federal Aviation Administration updated tower lighting requirements and now encourages tower owners to extinguish non-flashing lights on existing towers taller than 350 ft. above ground level (AGL)\, which reduces avian collisions by as much as 70%. Lighting changes on towers taller than 350 ft. AGL reduce the cost of tower operation and construction. Extinguishing non-flashing lights is one of the most effective and economically feasible means of achieving a significant reduction in avian fatalities at existing communications towers. The public is playing an important role in outreach efforts to the tower industry.\n\nDr. Joelle Gehring is a Michigan biologist. Previously\, Dr. Gehring was Senior Conservation Scientist with Michigan State University where she designed and supervised a multi-year\, landscape-scale study of the variables associated with bird collisions at communications towers. While with MSU she also studied wildlife interactions with wind energy and used those data to improve turbine siting. Throughout her career\, Dr. Gehring has used science and stakeholder input to develop and disseminate information on cost-effective methods to reduce wildlife-human conflicts. Dr. Gehring completed her Ph.D. in Wildlife Ecology at Purdue University\, M.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Resources at West Virginia University\, and her B.S.\, in both Biology and Wildlife Management at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Dr. Gehring has a wonderful 18-year old son who is studying biology at Central Michigan University. \nThis event is part of the Michigan Audubon Seminar Series. Seminars are free and open to the public. Sessions take place on the second Monday of each month from 7 – 8 p.m. at the Michigan Audubon office located at 2310 Science Parkway\, Suite 200\, Okemos\, MI 48864.

SUMMARY:Seminar Series: Kirtland’s Warbler Overview and Conservation Efforts
DESCRIPTION:Kirtland’s Warbler Overview and Conservation Efforts with Dr. Dave Ewert \nThe Kirtland’s Warbler is one of the rarest migratory songbirds in North America\, breeding almost exclusively in young jack pine stands in northern Michigan and wintering almost exclusively in dense scrub in the Bahamas. This presentation will give an overview of the biology of the Kirtland’s Warblers and how successful conservation efforts have brought the species from near extinction to recovery\, including potential delisting as a U.S. endangered species. \nDr. Dave Ewert is a Kirtland’s Warbler Program Director and Conservation Specialist with the American Bird Conservancy. He focuses primarily on the conservation of the Kirtland’s Warbler\, especially on the Bahamas wintering grounds\, and also works on protection of stopover sites for migratory birds in the Great Lakes region\, and Great Lakes coastline and island protection. Dr. Ewert received his B.S. from the University of Michigan\, and Ph.D. from the City University of New York. His research and conservation projects have taken him to the West Indies\, Central and South America\, and other travels to Europe and South Africa. He has served on boards of conservation organizations\, currently on the Kirtland’s Warbler Alliance\, and teaches field ornithology at the University of Michigan Biological Station. \nThis event is part of the Michigan Audubon Seminar Series. Seminars are free and open to the public. Sessions take place on the second Monday of each month from 7 – 8 p.m. at the Michigan Audubon office located at 2310 Science Parkway\, Suite 200\, Okemos\, MI 48864.

SUMMARY:Seminar Series: Monarch Butterflies and Other Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:Monarch Butterflies and Other Pollinators with Erin Oswald \nIn 2017\, Fenner Conservancy constructed an exhibit to raise awareness in the community about pollinator conservation through the raising and rearing of monarch butterflies — the Monarch House. Since then\, more than 300 monarch butterflies have been reared\, checked for parasites\, tagged\, and released. The Monarch House was built to give these important pollinators a good head-start in life and the energy to make it to their overwintering grounds in Mexico. Fenner is involved with many citizen science programs like Project Monarch Health\, Monarch Watch\, and Monarch Waystation to help increase the declining monarch population and educate the greater Lansing region about the conservation of monarchs and other pollinators.  \n\nErin Oswald is the volunteer coordinator and citizen science program coordinator at Fenner Nature Center. She oversees programs such as Project FeederWatch and all Monarch House activities. She has been working at Fenner since April 2018. Erin holds a B.S. in fisheries and wildlife from Michigan State University.  \nThis event is part of the Michigan Audubon Seminar Series. Seminars are free and open to the public. Sessions take place on the second Monday of each month from 7 – 8 p.m. at the Michigan Audubon office located at 2310 Science Parkway\, Suite 200\, Okemos\, MI 48864.

SUMMARY:Seminar Series: Chimney Swifts
DESCRIPTION:Chimney Swifts with Linnea Rowse \nA 5-inch long “flying cigar” with wings\, Chimney Swifts are a fascinating species that is dependent upon human structures for their breeding and migration habits. During spring and fall migration\, Chimney Swifts gather by the thousands to shelter together overnight in roosting locations – most often in large chimneys of older churches\, schools\, and factories. Come to learn about Chimney Swifts\, their role within the ecosystem\, why their population is in steep decline\, how they depend upon humans\, and what you can do to help this species. Following the presentation\, attendees are invited to caravan to a nearby known Chimney Swift roost\, where at dusk\, a swirling “tornado” of swifts will spiral down into their nighttime roost. \nLinnea Rowse is the Conservation Program Coordinator for Michigan Audubon\, overseeing the Bird-friendly Communities program\, including species-specific conservation efforts. Linnea also oversees stewardship and habitat management at Michigan Audubon’s bird sanctuaries\, and other conservation projects. Linnea received her B.S. in Wildlife and Conservation Biology from the University of Rhode Island\, and her Master’s degree in Fisheries and Wildlife from The Ohio State University. She has worked for many different non-profit organizations and researchers\, always focused on bird conservation\, ecology\, and habitat restoration\, but until last year had not experienced the wonder and thrill of watching a Chimney Swift “tornado” swirl down into a chimney. \nThis event is part of the Michigan Audubon Seminar Series. Seminars are free and open to the public. Sessions take place on the second Monday of each month from 7 – 8 p.m. at the Michigan Audubon office located at 2310 Science Parkway\, Suite 200\, Okemos\, MI 48864.
