SUMMARY:Avian Pigmentation
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Jeffrey Mckelvey\, for the second presentation of Audubon Society of Kalamazoo’s new program season as he discusses “Avian Pigmentation.”  Birds are among the most colorful of all animals. We’ll look at some of the reasons why. Much of it is due to pigments they incorporate into their feathers. The birds synthesize some of these while others are obtained from their food. Still\, other colors are due to the refraction of light by structural elements in the feathers themselves. These various sources of color can mix and match to produce almost any hue imaginable. Thus birds can camouflage themselves to hide from predators\, make themselves attractive to potential mates and dazzle appreciative birdwatchers. \nDr. Mckelvey grew up in Latrobe\, Pennsylvania\, just east of the first ridges in the Appalachians. His family had always put out bird feeders and he could identify all the common species before learning to read. When older\, he spent much time in the mountains and woods becoming an increasingly avid bird-watcher\, which was the origin of his interest in biology.  Dr. Mckelvey received an undergraduate degree in biology at West Virginia Wesleyan College. A Ph.D. in physiology followed from Bowling Green State University.  He then moved to Grand Rapids to take a job at Aquinas College. He has been there for 31 years and currently serves as chairperson of the Department of Biology and Health Science. Dr. Mckelvey mainly teaches courses in anatomy and physiology\, but every other year he works in ornithology. He still enjoys bird-watching and talking about birds every chance he has. \nYou are invited to join us to meet and hear Dr. Mckelvey on October 23 at the People’s Church\, 1758 North 10th Street\, Kalamazoo. Our 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 entrance of the building. Please remember to bring your own coffee mug to reduce dishwashing.

SUMMARY:Those Amazing Birds Program
DESCRIPTION:Join Ed Post for the third presentation of Audubon Society Kalamazoo’s 2017-2018 program season as he focuses on “Those Amazing Birds.”  This illustrated program looks at the amazing diversity and fascinating natural history of North American birds through the eyes of a dedicated bird photographer. We’ll look at the specialized anatomy of birds\, how they care for their young\, and how they survive in extremes like the frozen tundra and blistering desert. The poetic beauty of birds will color the informative narrative about our feathered friends. \nEd Post has been a serious photographer for over 30 years. He specializes in landscape and nature photography\, but also worked as a part-time newspaper and sports photographer for 15 years.  Ed frequently teaches photography classes\, leads photography trips\, and conducts workshops.  He is widely published and he displays his work at local galleries in West Michigan. You can see some of Ed’s images here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/edpost/. \nYou are invited to meet and hear Ed on November 27 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 entrance of the building. Please remember to bring your own coffee mug to reduce dishwashing.

SUMMARY:Program: Relationship Between Ravens and the Desert Tortoise
DESCRIPTION:Join Craig Sherwood for the fourth presentation of ASK’s new program season as he discusses “Relationship Between Ravens and the Desert Tortoise.” There are parts of this planet where change happens so slowly it can be measured more easily over millennia versus decades or days.  The Mojave Desert was until recently\, one of these ancient refuges from change; an ecosystem where the flora and fauna have become so highly specialized living in nearly uninhabitable conditions they often lack the ability to adapt to a dynamic situation. In our current age\, the iconic desert tortoise is facing a daunting challenge as it is confronted with swelling numbers of humans and the predators that prosper in their wake.  The common raven (Corvus corax) is one of these predators and the species is experiencing something of a golden age as human densities continue to increase in one of North America’s most inhospitable landscapes. \nYou will be in for a crash course on the biology and life history of the Mojave Desert Tortoise and explore how it has become intricately entwined with the explosive success of the largest species in the Corvid family.  We will look at what is being done now and where new techniques and technology are taking us as we attempt to reframe how we think about the most intelligent and opportunistic avian species in the Southwest.  What we learn in the desert may very well help to prepare us for tackling future corvid-related challenges right here at home. \nCraig Sherwood has been working in the field since 2010 after completing his undergraduate studies in Fisheries and Wildlife Biology at Michigan State University.  Seasonal work has allowed him to live and work in places from the Canadian Rockies and Interior Alaska to the scorching landscapes of the Mojave Desert. Years of work with desert tortoises has inevitably led to an interest in ravens.  He now serves as an advisor and contractor to Hardshell Labs.  Hardshell Labs is currently leading the field by spearheading the development of a variety of innovative\, non-lethal aversive conditioning techniques for dealing with raven problems. \nYou are invited to join us to meet and hear Craig Sherwood on January 22\, 2018\, at the People’s Church\, 1758 North 10th Street\, Kalamazoo. Our 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 entrance of the building. Please remember to bring your own coffee mug to reduce dishwashing.
