Tomorrow!

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

Brooklyn Public Library, Central Branch at Grand Army Plaza
September 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!

Re: [nysbirds-l] Sora, Avocet, Caspian Tern @ Jamaica Bay

[Daisy Lane Paul]

The Sora continues at the South end in the same spot, as of sundown.

The Caspian Tern was also there, as well as 24 Stilt Sandpiper, 18 Greater
Yellowlegs, 1 Dunlin, 4 SB Dowitcher, 1 White-rumped Sandpiper, a few
Semipalmated Sandpipers and 1 Least Sandpiper.

No sign of the Avocet but we didn't walk up at all from the South edge.

Good birding,
Daisy & Tripper

[Andrew Baksh]

I made a pre storm Gull run today covering  Jones Beach West End II, Jones 
Beach Field 6, Robert Moses Fields 2 and 5, Gilgo, Tobay  and Nickerson Beaches.

The Gull highlights were: 2 Lesser Black-backed Gulls - a 2CY @ JB Field 6 and 
a 1CY @ Robert Moses Field 5.

Additional notables: 1 flyby Royal Tern @ JB Field 6 and a Black Tern (1st 
Summer) at Nickerson spotted off the ocean.

Cheers,

[nysbirds-l] Photo Exhibit @ Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge

[Andrew Baksh]

I am delighted to share with you all, news of an upcoming photo exhibit by our 
very own Ronald Bourque. The exhibition opening will take place on September 
24th, from 2-4 p.m. at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center in Queens.

Ron, for most of you is no stranger to our community. He and his wife the late 
Jean Bourque were involved in many restoration projects throughout Brooklyn and 
Queens; inspiring many of us to become more involved in conservation. Many talk 
a good game but very few back it up with action like they did - legit!

I hope to see you at Ron's exhibition.

Cheers,

Re: [nysbirds-l] Common Gallinule, Mill Pond Park, Nassau (today)

[Robert Taylor]

thanks for reporting this to the listservI chased both your reports
today, now heading to Jamaica Bay East pond for Corey Finger's Avocet.  I
did not refind the Gallinule but did see 11 Royal Terns at Jones Field 6.
I agree it's extremely frustrating when other birders don't report their
sightings- some intentionally don't list on ebird either.  Please don't let
others discourage you from reporting - sharing is the right and unselfish
thing to do.

[nysbirds-l] "Beach Grass" - Queens County Bird Club Presentation this Wednesday, Sept 20

[Nancy Tognan]

The Queens County Bird Club will be meeting at the Alley Pond Environmental
Center, 228-06 Northern Blvd Douglaston, NY 11362   
>Map of location<   

at 8:00 pm on Wednesday, September 20, 2017.  Free admission.  Refreshments
served.

 

Professor Javier Izquierdo will present "The American beachgrass microbiome:
spying on private conversations underground"

 American beachgrass, or Ammophila breviligulata, is considered an
important sand dune architect of barrier islands, promoting the formation of
dunes that offer protection to these coastal ecosystems.  When severe storms
and events like Hurricane Sandy dramatically disturb or eliminate dunes,
many efforts in ecosystem restoration are made to replant beachgrass in
affected areas. However, many of these efforts are not successful due to a
wide variety of biotic and abiotic factors. The Izquierdo lab at Hofstra
University is interested in the role that microbes (particularly bacteria
and fungi) play in healthy beachgrass growth. In this talk, Dr. Izquierdo
will discuss what his research group has learned from characterizing the
diversity of the microbiomes associated with the roots of beachgrass
collected along the South Shore of Long Island under a variety of health
conditions. He will also talk about some of the beneficial microbial species
they have identified that could play a key role in promoting healthy growth
of the American beachgrass.

 Dr. Javier A. Izquierdo is an Assistant Professor in the Department of
Biology at Hofstra University. Research in Dr. Izquierdo's lab explores the
metabolic diversity of microbial processes and the applications we can
derive from them, particularly in the areas of plant-microbe interactions
and sustainable biofuels production.

 

Public transit users:  Meeting location is one mile from the Bayside LIRR
station;  you may either walk, take the Q12 bus, or use car service located
at the station.
