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:Great Backyard Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) each year during the second week of February. This fun\, free\, family-friendly activity is a great way to engage both beginner and experienced birders in citizen science. \nParticipating in the count is as simple as counting birds for as little as fifteen minutes on one or more days of the count then reporting the results online at BirdCount.org. All of the observations submitted to the GBBC are automatically entered into eBird. The data are available to explore using a number of different tools on eBird.org and BirdCount.org. Regular eBird users can participate by entering checklists into eBird as usual during the count. \nLast year more than 142\,000 people from 135 countries reported more than 4\,200 species and over 17 million individual birds\, providing an incredible snapshot of winter bird populations and distribution in North America and beyond. Learn more about this fantastic citizen science event at http://gbbc.birdcount.org/.
