[nysbirds-l] BBC Evening Presentation: Tessa Boase Mrs Pankhurst's Purple Feather

[Dennis Hrehowsik]

*Note: This event meets in Classroom C at the Prospect Park Zoo. Please see
below for details.*


*Tuesday May 14 7PM*

TESSA BOASE PRESENTS: MRS PANKHURST’S PURPLE FEATHER: FASHION, FURY AND
FEMINISM – WOMEN’S FIGHT FOR CHANGE

For half a century, from the 1870s to the 1920s, women on both sides of the
Atlantic were gripped by a fashion craze that decreed all hats should be
laden with feathers. Not just feathers, but wings, bird and whole bodies of
birds – often several birds at a time. Species the world over were slowly
brought to the brink of extinction, and all for the sake of millinery.
Campaigning on behalf of the birds was a small band of angry woman with a
splendidly simple goal. They were going to stamp out the fashion for
feathers in hats.

The ‘feather fight’, as it became known, was bitter, vicious and
un-sisterly. Wearers of the ‘bird hat’ were attacked as narcissists and
slaughterers. Edwardian fashion victims hit back, calling their female
critics ‘plumage cranks’ and ‘feather faddists’. Why shouldn’t emancipated
women wear what they wanted? Leading the battle in Britain was a fearsome
woman who has not been remembered by history, and yet for 50 years was the
driving force behind the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB),
today Britain’s biggest conservation charity. Her name was Etta Lemon.
Where she lead in1889, the Audubon Society would follow.

When social historian Tessa Boase told the RSPB she wanted to write their
early story, they refused to let her revisit their archives. To a former
investigative journalist and Oxford English graduate, this was a challenge
she could not resist . . . Join her to hear the intriguing untold story of
women, birds, hats – and votes. After the talk, Tessa will be signing
copies of her book, Mrs Pankhurst’s Purple Feather: Fashion, Fury and
Feminism – Women’s Fight for Change.

Note: This event will meet in Classroom C at the Prospect Park Zoo.

economies and shrinking wildernesses. Tom will describe expeditions looking
for wintering shorebirds, including spoon-billed sandpiper, in the Gulf of
Thailand and to the peaks of the Cardamom Mountains searching for endemic
partridges and laughing thrush. The talk culminates in encounters with the
majestic giant ibis – one of the worlds most threatened and evolutionary
distinct species.

inside chimneys or in hollow trees or caves. This species has suffered
sharp declines as chimneys fall into disuse.

John Connors is a naturalist, environmental educator and one of the leaders
in Wake Audubon’s on-going effort to educate the public about Chimney
Swifts. John recently retired from the North Carolina Museum of Natural
Sciences. In his role as the Coordinator of the Naturalist Center, John
lead thousands of programs for tens of thousands of children and visitors
over the course of his career.

[nysbirds-l] BBC Evening Presentation: Rivers, Climate Change, and Birds

[Dennis Hrehowsik]

*BBC Evening Presentation*

*Rivers, Climate Change, and Birds: Patterns of Avain Diversity Across
Western and Central African Tropical Forests.*

Presenter: Jerry Huntley, Chapman Postdoctoral Fellow at the American
Museum of History.

*Tuesday April 17 @ 7PM*

*BROOKLYN PUBLIC LIBRARY, CENTRAL BRANCH AT GRAND ARMY PLAZA*
Using genetic information gathered from natural history collections and
field expeditions to West Africa, Jerry Huntley’s team examined 70 species
of African forest bird.  From this data, they hope to have a better
understanding of how potential barriers to movement within the forest (such
as rivers and savannahs) and historical climate change have shaped the
distribution of birds that we see today, especially from a genetics
standpoint.

[nysbirds-l] BBC Evening Presentation Sept 19th 7PM

[Dennis Hrehowsik]

*Migration Mysteries: Variation in Migration Distances Under Climate Change*
*Presenter: Lisa Manne*


*Brooklyn Public Library, Central Branch at Grand Army PlazaSeptember 19
@ 7:00 pm **Lisa Manne**- 9:00 pm*

Lisa Manne, Assistant Professor of Biology at the College of Staten Island,
will present
Migration Mysteries: Variation in Migration Distances for North American
Short-distance Migrants Under Climate Change

Under climate change, bird ranges are tending to shift toward the poles.
There are good reasons to believe that winter ranges might be shifting at
the same rate of speed as are breeding ranges. Her lab is testing this
assertion with long-term data for short-distance North American migrants.
They found a diversity of responses, and a few surprises!

*Penguins, Albatross, Leopard Seals: The Abundant Life of Wild Antarctica*

*Presenters: Tom Stephenson and Rob Bate*

*Location: Brooklyn Public Library Central Branch
 at Grand Army Plaza*

Antarctica remains one of the most remote and natural places on earth. The
wild, rugged scenery includes spectacular icebergs the size of city blocks,
snow-covered mountainous peaks, and huge glaciers. It is the breeding
grounds for thousands of birds including Snow Petrels, Cape Petrels, Giant
Petrels; many species of Penguins, Albatross with wingspans up to 12 feet,
and the Skuas and Sheathbills that come to scavenge the nesting areas. It
also hosts thousands of huge Elephant, Weddell, Leopard and other seal
species along with many whales that all come to feast on the abundant life
of the southern ocean.

Join the Brooklyn Bird Club for a photographic extravaganza of this
exciting destination.
Tom Stephenson has been birding since he was a kid under the tutelage of
Dr. Arthur Allen of Cornell University. His articles and photographs are in
museums and many publications including Birding, Birdwatcher’s Digest,
Handbook of the Birds of the World, Handbook of the Mammals of the World,
Birds of Madagascar, and Guide to the Birds of SE Brazil.

Rob Bate is the president of the Brooklyn Bird Club, an artist, and an avid
Brooklyn birder and photographer. He very much enjoyed testing out his new
gear in Antarctica.

[nysbirds-l] BBC Evening Presentation Tonight

[Dennis Hrehowsik]

Please join the Brooklyn Bird Club Tonight 7:00 at the Brooklyn Central
LIbrary for:

* Winter Pelagics in the MidAtlantic - Putting the "Bir" in Birding" *

*Presenter: Paul Guris*



The idea of venturing out on the ocean in winter is a daunting prospect for
many birders, but this can be one of the most rewarding times to look for
seabirds and other marine life in the Mid-Atlantic. Dovekies, Puffins,
Murres, Razorbills, Gannets, Kittiwakes, loons, ducks, cormorants, and
gulls can all be found, many quite regularly. Some of these species are
much more common in our area than people realize, and we're discovering
some things that help us find these birds more reliably. This program is an
introduction to what you could expect on one of these trips, the birds we
search for, and interesting information about them.

Paul Guris has been birding the Delaware Valley area for over 40 years. His
first boat trip was in his mother's third trimester, so his love of
seabirds comes naturally. He is a current member of the New Jersey Bird
Records Committee, a past member of the Pennsylvania Ornithological Records
Committee, a past president of the Delaware Valley Ornithological Club, the
former captain of the now retired Nikon / DVOC World Series of Birding
team, and the owner / operator of See Life Paulagics ,
a pelagic tour company specializing in trips in the Mid-Atlantic region.

[nysbirds-l] BBC Evening Presentation

[Dennis Hrehowsik]

Please Join the Brooklyn Bird Club Thursday Jan 29th 7:00 PM at the
Prospect Park Boathouse for:

Bird Life in Brazil

Presenter: Paulo Boute

Come take a virtural tour of the Pantanal and Brazilian birds at this
presentation with Brazilian guide Paulo Boute. Paulo is one of the
pioneering birders and ornithologists in Brazil, with almost 30 years of
experience guiding birders and photographers.

Paulo was born on a ranch near Iguassu Falls and from a very early age he
has literally been in touch with Brazilian birds: his older brother
collected birds and very often he had the chance of holding them in his own
hands! At the age of 17 Paulo moved to the state of Mato Grosso, where he
started working as a tour guide in the Pantanal. He was one of the first
and now is the most experienced guide working in this unique habitat, with
more than a thousand trips to the Pantanal. His Brazilian life list is 1260
birds.

Paulo has inspired others to follow in his tracks and is very proud in
having dedicated his life to preserving the birds in Brazil and educating
others on their beauty. When he is not guiding--either in the Pantanal,
Amazon/Atlantic Forest or in the Brazilian Northeast--he is teaching
birdwatching and presenting lectures both abroad and in-country.

PLEASE NOTE NEW LOCATION PROSPECT PARK BOAT HOUSE!

[nysbirds-l] BBC Evening Presentation

[Dennis Hrehowsik]

Please join the Brooklyn Bird Club Thursday, May 15th 6:30 PM at the
Litchfield Villa for:

Ecuador: East Slope/West Slope

Presenter: Sandy Paci

The avifauna of the small South American country of Ecuador is largely
defined by the mighty Andes Mountains, which run like a spine down the
center of the country, sloping in the East down to the Amazon Basin and in
the West to the Pacific Ocean. BBC member Sandra Paci will discuss the bird
life of this fascinating, easily accessible Neotropical region and present
photography from two recent visits. Sandy is an enthusiast of Latin
American art and culture and has traveled there regularly since the
mid-1980s-long before she knew a Tanager from an Antpitta.
