Our presentation will be “The Audubon Mural Project” by Leigh Hallingby.
Free admission.  All are invited - you do not need to be a NSAS member to 
attend.
  
THE AUDUBON MURAL PROJECT is an impressive effort to create murals of over 
300 North American birds. Most of the murals are in the Harlem neighborhoods of 
Hamilton Heights and Washington Heights, where John James Audubon lived the 
last ten years of his life. All of the birds painted are threatened by climate 
change. So the Project is designed not only to display the birds’ beauty, but 
also to make us aware of the challenges that they face. The artworks range from 
lovely panels that fill in a former window to spectacular murals covering the 
entire side of a building. We will see about 40 murals, plus Audubon’s grave 
site, in a 50-minute slide presentation with live commentary. There will be 
time afterwards for Q
Leigh is a licensed New York City tour guide who specializes in Harlem, 
Morningside Heights, and the Upper West Side. She is passionate about exploring 
all five NYC boroughs and beyond on foot, mostly through organized walking 
tours. Leigh is retired from a 36-year career as a non-profit librarian. She 
loves doing research about the neighborhoods in which she gives tours and 
sharing the information about them with attendees. Leigh is a feminist, 
collector, genealogist, and lover of arts, culture, and travel. After residing 
in the suburbs of NYC for many years, she now loves living on the Upper West 
Side of Manhattan.

[nysbirds-l] "Spring Migration" by Stephane Perreault - North Shore Audubon "hybrid" presentation - Tues, Apr 26, 7pm

[Nancy Tognan]

The next North Shore Audubon Society (NSAS) general meeting will be held on 
Tuesday, April 26, 2022, at 7pm.

This will be a hybrid live/Zoom meeting, the first ever attempted by North 
Shore Audubon.  All are encouraged to attend in person if possible. The 
location is the Manhasset Public Library, 30 Onderdonk Ave, Manhasset, NY 11030.
 
If you wish to attend via Zoom, use the following link to pre-register:

<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEldeuppz0iGdYQZ9pPoqIZHhl62Ezw0SJw> 
 After registering, you will receive a link to join the meeting.

Our presentation will be “Spring Migration in Nassau County” by Stephane 
Perreault.
Free admission.  All are invited - you do not need to be a NSAS member to 
attend.
  
The spring migration is the most anticipated birding event of the year, but 
do you make the most of it? “Non-chasing” birding strategies linked with the 
temporal change in migratory land bird species composition will be discussed. 
Knowledge of local park migration specialties, usage of bird migration 
forecasts, and birding by ear needs are sure to make each spring a more 
satisfying birding and bird watching experience. There will be plenty of bird 
pictures to whet our appetite!
 Stephane Perreault studied ornithology at McGill University, where he 
conducted research on the American Redstart breeding behavior. A Long Islander 
since 1995, Stephane remained an avid birder while he pursued a career in 
Biochemistry. Stephane has been conducting bird surveys for the Seatuck 
Environmental Association for several years, and since 2020, he is the 
Naturalist on staff at the Greentree Foundation, Manhasset.

[nysbirds-l] "Vulture" by Katie Fallon - North Shore Audubon presentation - Tues, Mar 22, 7pm

[Nancy Tognan]

The next North Shore Audubon Society (NSAS) general meeting will be held via 
Zoom on Tuesday, March 22, 2022, at 7pm.

Our presentation will be "Vulture: The Private Life of an Unloved Bird” by 
Katie Fallon.
Free admission.
All are invited - you do not need to be a NSAS member to attend.
  Turkey vultures, the most widely distributed and abundant scavenging 
birds of prey on the planet, are found from central Canada to the southern tip 
of Argentina, and nearly everywhere in between. But despite being ubiquitous 
and recognizable, the turkey vulture has never had a book of literary 
nonfiction devoted to it—until Vulture.

 Floating on six-foot wings, turkey vultures use their keen senses of smell 
and sight to locate carrion. Unlike the black vulture, turkey vultures do not 
kill weak or dying animals; instead, they cleanse, purify, and renew the 
environment by clearing it of decaying carcasses, thus slowing the spread of 
such dangerous pathogens as anthrax, rabies, and botulism. The beauty, grace, 
and important role of these birds in the ecosystem notwithstanding, turkey 
vultures are maligned and underappreciated; they have been accused of spreading 
disease and killing livestock, neither of which has ever been substantiated. 
Although turkey vultures are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the 
birds still face persecution. They’ve been killed because of their looks, their 
odor, and their presence in proximity to humans. Even the federal government 
occasionally sanctions “roost dispersals,” which involve the harassment and 
sometimes the murder of communally roosting vultures.

 Vulture follows a year in the life of a typical North American turkey 
vulture. By incorporating information from scientific papers and articles, as 
well as interviews with world-renowned raptor and vulture experts, author Katie 
Fallon examines all aspects of the bird’s natural history: breeding, incubating 
eggs, raising chicks, migrating, and roosting. After reading this book you will 
never look at a vulture in the same way again.

 Katie Fallon is the cofounder of the Avian Conservation Center of 
Appalachia, a nonprofit research, education, and rehabilitation center for 
injured birds. A member of the International Association of Avian Trainers and 
Educators, she has glove-trained a wide variety of raptor species, including 
turkey vultures, hawks, owls, and falcons. She is the author of Cerulean Blues: 
A personal Search for a Vanishing Songbird.  Katie lives in West Virginia.

[nysbirds-l] "Birds and Bogs" by Michale Glennon - North Shore Audubon presentation - Tues, Feb 22, 7pm

[Nancy Tognan]

The next North Shore Audubon Society (NSAS) general meeting will be held via 
Zoom on Tuesday, February 22, 2022, at 7pm.

Our presentation will be "Birds and Bogs:  Climate Change and Life at the Edge 
of the Boreal” by Michale Glennon.
Free admission.  
All are invited - you do not need to be a NSAS member to attend.

 New York’s Adirondack Park is a breeding ground for numerous migratory 
bird species, many declining.
 A unique component of the Adirondacks are the birds inhabiting the boreal 
peatlands. Climate change is now widely recognized as a major threat to 
biodiversity. As the southern range extent for this ecosystem type and many of 
its avian inhabitants, the park is a valuable location to monitor changes in 
bird populations. Findings from long-term monitoring of boreal birds in the 
Adirondacks suggests their responses to climate change may be mediated by land 
use patterns, highlight the importance of a patchy habitat distribution, and 
raise important implications for conservation strategies.

 Michale is the Science Director for the Paul Smith’s College Adirondack 
Watershed Institute, where she serves a leading role in the ecological research 
conducted in the Adirondacks. Her research includes the intersection between 
land use management and ecological integrity, focused on the impacts of low 
density, exurban development. She has also worked on impacts of ski area 
development on Bicknell’s thrush, a migrant of high conservation priority, on 
the effects of recreation patterns on birds and mammals, and understanding the 
lowland boreal birds in the Adirondack Park and the potential impacts of 
climate change. 

 Michale serves on the advisory boards of multiple organizations. She lives 
in Ray Brook with her husband Scott, as well as 2 teenagers, 2 horses, 2 goats, 
and 1 cat.

[nysbirds-l] "Birding Southeast Arizona" by Trevor Ambrico - North Shore Audubon presentation - Tues, Jan 25, 7pm

[Nancy Tognan]

The next North Shore Audubon Society (NSAS) general meeting will be held via 
Zoom on Tuesday, January 25, 2022, at 7pm.

Our presentation will be "Trip Report: Southeast Arizona - A Relatively New 
Birder's First Venture out of New York” by Trevor Ambrico.
Free admission.  
All are invited - you do not need to be a NSAS member to attend.

>From Trevor:
 This presentation is going to take the form of a trip report of my two 
week solo birding trip across southeast Arizona in April to May of 2021. As the 
title suggests, this was my first major foray into birding outside of New York 
State. I started in Tucson, AZ and made my way around the southeast corner of 
the state, spending 2-3 days birding in each of the following locations: 
Tucson/Mt. Lemmon, Madera Canyon/ Tubac, AZ, Lake Patagonia, Sierra Vista, 
AZ/Huachaca Mountain Range, and Portal, AZ /Chiricahua Mountain Range. The 
presentation is going to have an emphasis on life-birds (114 total!), 
photographs, rarities (Northern Jacana, Rose-throated Becard, Violet-crowned 
Hummingbird, Lucifer Hummingbird), and cool finds (possibly first ever recorded 
Black-throated Sparrow at the peak of Mt. Lemmon - way out of altitude range, 
and a close encounter with a Mexican Spotted Owl). 

Bio - Trevor Ambrico is a relatively new birder who first started in December 
of 2018 after spotting an unusual woodpecker in his backyard, which turned out 
to be a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. This encounter sparked a growing interest in 
learning, experiencing, and respectfully photographing avian habitats, 
behavior, and biodiversity. He currently works as a Physician Assistant in the

[nysbirds-l] "Birding Southeast Arizona" by Trevor Ambrico - North Shore Audubon presentation - Tues, Jan 25, 7pm

[Nancy Tognan]

The next North Shore Audubon Society (NSAS) general meeting will be held via 
Zoom on Tuesday, January 25, 2022, at 7pm.

Our presentation will be "Trip Report: Southeast Arizona - A Relatively New 
Birder's First Venture out of New York” by Trevor Ambrico.
Free admission.  
All are invited - you do not need to be a NSAS member to attend.

>From Trevor:
 This presentation is going to take the form of a trip report of my two 
week solo birding trip across southeast Arizona in April to May of 2021. As the 
title suggests, this was my first major foray into birding outside of New York 
State. I started in Tucson, AZ and made my way around the southeast corner of 
the state, spending 2-3 days birding in each of the following locations: 
Tucson/Mt. Lemmon, Madera Canyon/ Tubac, AZ, Lake Patagonia, Sierra Vista, 
AZ/Huachaca Mountain Range, and Portal, AZ /Chiricahua Mountain Range. The 
presentation is going to have an emphasis on life-birds (114 total!), 
photographs, rarities (Northern Jacana, Rose-throated Becard, Violet-crowned 
Hummingbird, Lucifer Hummingbird), and cool finds (possibly first ever recorded 
Black-throated Sparrow at the peak of Mt. Lemmon - way out of altitude range, 
and a close encounter with a Mexican Spotted Owl). 

Bio - Trevor Ambrico is a relatively new birder who first started in December 
of 2018 after spotting an unusual woodpecker in his backyard, which turned out 
to be a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. This encounter sparked a growing interest in 
learning, experiencing, and respectfully photographing avian habitats, 
behavior, and biodiversity. He currently works as a Physician Assistant in the 
field of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Cardiac Critical Care at Northwell Health. 
He holds a Master's Degree in Physician Assistant Studies, and Bachelor's 
Degree in Health Sciences (Touro College, 2019), as well as a Bachelor's Degree 
in Biology (Stony Brook University, 2014). His other interests include Mountain 
Biking, Road Cycling, Photography, and Vegetable Gardening.

[nysbirds-l] QCBC Zoom presentation "Bird Migration Research" - Weds, Dec 15, 2021 at 7:30 pm

[Nancy Tognan]

The Queens County Bird Club will hold its next meeting via Zoom on Wednesday, 
December 15, 2021 at 7:30 pm. 
The presentation will be “Experimental bird migration research using the Motus 
Wildlife Tracking System”  by Dr. Christopher Guglielmo.

Description of presentation:   
 The Motus Wildlife Tracking System is a grassroots, cooperative project 
that uses automated radio receiving towers deployed at large spatial scales to 
track the movements of migratory animals. In addition to its potential to 
increase our understanding of migration routes, timing, and survival, Motus has 
created new opportunities for researchers to conduct experimental studies to 
reveal the basic physiological and behavioural mechanisms underlying migration. 
 Chris Guglielmo, professor of biology and co-director of the Advanced 
Facility for Avian Research at the University of Western Ontario, will present 
research from his lab and others that explores the effects of factors like 
hormones, environmental contaminants, and avian malaria on songbird migration.

Zoom registration link is on the home page of www.qcbirdclub.org 
<http://www.qcbirdclub.org/>  .  After you register, you will receive a link to 
join the meeting.

Hope to “see" you then.

[nysbirds-l] "Long-eared Bats" - North Shore Audubon presentation - Tues, Oct 26, 7 pm

[Nancy Tognan]

The next North Shore Audubon Society (NSAS) general meeting will be held via 
Zoom on Tuesday, Oct 26, 2021, at 7pm.

Our presentation will be "Northern Long-eared bats in Coastal Populations: The 
Implications of Novel Hibernation Behaviors and Winter Foraging on White Nose 
Syndrome” by Casey Pendergast.  
Free admission.  
All are invited - you do not need to be a NSAS member to attend.

Since its discovery in 2007, the fungal disease known as White Nose Syndrome 
has devastated North American bat populations with fatalities numbering in the 
millions. While the disease appears to affect only hibernating bats, the 
severity of that infection and the resulting mortality varies between species. 
The Northern long-eared bat appears to be the most susceptible to the effects 
of the disease. Already this species has experienced declines of 90-99% 
throughout it’s range. This threat of irreversible population declines has led 
to its listing as a federally Threatened species. However, recent research in 
the coastal regions of NY and MA have revealed island populations that appear 
to be persisting despite infection with the disease. The research from my lab 
utilizes radiotracking of bats, ultrasonic acoustic bat recordings and 
community science insect surveys to explore how these coastal bats are able to 
break the disease cycle. Ultimately it is a combination of novel hibernation 
behaviors and the unique environmental conditions of the coastal climate that 
are critical to the survival of the last remaining robust populations of 
Northern long-eared bats.

Casey Pendergast is a bat biologist who has spent the past five years 
researching the bat species of New York State, most specifically in the wake of 
the devastating fungal disease White Nose Syndrome (WNS). Her work as an 
employee of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has 
afforded her the opportunity to work to conserve bat populations throughout the 
epicenter of the disease here in New York. She is currently completing her 
Masters thesis at SUNY Albany where she studies the effects of WNS on the 
coastal populations of the federally threatened Northern long-eared bats. She 
is actively working with local organizations to help build an urban community 
science based bat program on Long Island.

[nysbirds-l] QCBC presentation "The Language of Birds" by Peterson Guide author Nathan Pieplow - Weds, Oct 20, 2021 at 7:30 pm

[Nancy Tognan]

The Queens County Bird Club will hold its next meeting via Zoom on Wednesday, 
Oct 20, 2021 at 7:30 pm. 
The presentation will be “The Language of Birds” by Nathan Pieplow, a Peterson 
Guide author highly recommended by QCBC member Donna Schulman.

Description of presentation:   All around us, all the time, the birds are 
telling us who they are and what they are doing. In this talk for any audience, 
Nathan Pieplow unlocks the secrets of their language. You’ll listen in on the 
pillow talk of a pair of Red-winged Blackbirds, and learn the secret signals 
that Cliff Swallows use when they have found food. You’ll learn how one bird 
sound can have many meanings, and how one meaning can have many sounds—and how, 
sometimes, the meaning isn’t in the sounds at all. This talk from the author of 
the Peterson Field Guide to Bird Sounds is an accessible, entertaining 
introduction to a fascinating topic.

After retiring in 2009 from a long career as Curator at both the New England 
and NY Aquariums, Paul L. Sieswerda was drawn to studying the whales that are 
returning to the waters around NY City.  “The whales came to me. “ he says.  
Sieswerda has developed the 501c3 organization, Gotham Whale, to study, educate 
about, and advocate for the marine mammals around NYC.  Gotham Whale maintains 
a database of marine mammal sightings from their observations aboard the 
American Princess, a whale watch boat out of Rockaway, Queens and other Citizen 
Science sources.  Gotham Whale keeps The NYC Humpback Whale Catalog which 
identifies individual whales from photographs of their flukes.  Gotham Whale 
tracks the species, location, and behavior to gain insight into the whales as 
they come closer and closer to the Big City. 

Hope to “see" you then.

[nysbirds-l] "NYS Breeding Bird Atlas: Update After One Year" - Queens County Bird Club presentation 4/21/2021 7:30 pm

[Nancy Tognan]

The Queens County Bird Club will hold its next meeting via Zoom on Wednesday, 
April 21, 2021 at 7:30 pm. 

The presentation will be "NYS Breeding Bird Atlas: Update After One Year" by 
Brendan Fogarty.

Registration link is on the home page of www.qcbirdclub.org 
<http://www.qcbirdclub.org/>  Or use this link 
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwudeCgrDIvH9Yyr7cRPYTlGU44jS6iRKFX 
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwudeCgrDIvH9Yyr7cRPYTlGU44jS6iRKFX=D=calendar=1619220642765000=AOvVaw02CZkBzrJatlsybgRF29GS>
  The NYS Breeding Bird Atlas is a five-year effort that is done once every 
twenty years. The third atlas effort started in 2020, and is the first to use 
eBird for data entry. Now that the Atlas has acquired a year’s worth of data, 
it is time to find out how participants can best use their time to contribute 
more data that the Atlas is lacking. This presentation will be geared 
particularly towards NYC/Long Island birding.

 Atlasing is a great excuse to explore new areas and provides an intimate 
look into the daily lives of birds. Whether you are a beginner or advanced 
birder, this unique opportunity will strengthen your birdwatching skills while 
contributing valuable data to a large conservation-oriented project.

 Brendan Fogarty is a Regional Coordinator for the NYS Atlas, for the 
district of NYC/Long Island. He is Secretary and Newsletter Editor of 
Huntington-Oyster Bay Audubon Society, and their youngest board member ever. He 
is a Long Island local and has been involved in birding and Audubon here since 
his teens. Brendan has been involved in several local conservation projects, 
including Piping Plover monitoring for the Town of Hempstead and abundance 
surveys for Seatuck Environmental Association.


Hope to “see" you then.

[nysbirds-l] "New Discoveries in Songbird Migration" by Prof. Bridget Stutchbury - Queens County Bird Club presentation.

[Nancy Tognan]

The Queens County Bird Club will hold its next meeting via Zoom on Wednesday, 
March 17, 2021 at 7:30 pm. 

The presentation will be “New Discoveries in Songbird Migration” by Prof. 
Bridget Stutchbury.

Registration link is on the home page of www.qcbirdclub.org 
<http://www.qcbirdclub.org/>  Or use this link 
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAlde6pqjkpHNKU2cH2U7p64elBqQxmZ5AR 
<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAlde6pqjkpHNKU2cH2U7p64elBqQxmZ5AR>

Each fall, billions of songbirds leave Canada on an epic journey to their 
far-away wintering grounds in Central and South America where many live in 
tropical forests shared by toucans, howler monkeys, and jaguars. Dozens of 
species have experienced serious, long-term population declines that are driven 
in part by the threats that these birds face on migration and while in the 
tropics.  But only recently has it been possible to track the migration of 
individual songbirds over part, or all, of their migration journey. Bridget 
Stutchbury talks about her research on uncovering the mysteries of songbird 
migration behaviour, and what this tells about the threats they face during 
their travels.

Bridget Stutchbury is a Distinguished Research Professor of Biology at York 
University in Toronto, Ontario, where she is in charge of the Stutchbury Lab of 
Behavioural and Conservation Ecology.  See her website 
http://www.yorku.ca/bstutch <http://www.yorku.ca/bstutch> . She is the author 
of the books Silence of the Songbirds and The Bird Detective and is featured in 
the movie The Messenger.

Hope to “see" you then.

[nysbirds-l] "Plum Island" - a North Shore Audubon presentation - Tues, Feb 23, 7pm

[Nancy Tognan]

The next North Shore Audubon Society (NSAS) general meeting will be held via 
Zoom on Tuesday, February 23, 2021, at 7pm.

Our presentation will be “Plum Island” by Louise Harrison.
 Louise, New York Natural Areas Coordinator for Save the Sound, will 
present the region’s unified vision for the future of Plum Island after the 
federal government ceases its activities at the animal disease center there. 
The Preserve Plum Island Coalition (PPIC)—of which North Shore Audubon Society 
is a member—engaged nearly two hundred stakeholders from a wide variety of 
sectors and disciplines in a two-year effort called Envision Plum Island.   
Save the Sound and The Nature Conservancy merged hundreds of ideas into an 
overall vision and a feasible plan for transfer of the island into conservation 
status.

Pre-registration is required.  You do not need to be a member of NSAS to 
register.  Use this link to register for the meeting:

[nysbirds-l] "Snowy Owls" by Jean-François Therrien. Queens County Bird Club - Wed, Feb 17 at 7:30 pm

[Nancy Tognan]

The Queens County Bird Club will hold its next meeting via Zoom on Wednesday, 
February 17, 2021 at 7:30 pm. 


The presentation will be “"Snowy Owls: The Ultimate Nomads" by Jean-Francois 
Therrien of Hawk Mountain Sanctuary.  
When there is a winter “invasion” of Snowy Owls, birders go nuts. Why does this 
happen—the invasion, that is? As senior research biologist at Hawk Mountain 
Sanctuary in Pennsylvania, Canadian-born Jean-François Therrien will review 
recent results of the sanctuary’s research program, emphasizing the movement 
patterns as well as the reproductive behavior of Snowy Owls.  He will 
demonstrate the fieldwork and the monitoring techniques that are used for these 
highly mobile and unpredictable predatory birds over a period of consecutive 
years. Therrien is currently at work on various aspects of raptor conservation 
science such as satellite tracking of hawks, falcons, vultures, and 
owls—especially the close monitoring of American Kestrel populations.

[nysbirds-l] "The Narrow Edge" by Deborah Cramer. Queens County Bird Club presentation Wed. Jan 20 at 7:30 pm

[Nancy Tognan]

The Queens County Bird Club will hold its next meeting via Zoom on Wednesday, 
January 20, 2021 at 7:30 pm. 

Registration link:  HERE 
<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYkd-igrjMsE9K8qzu5dA5h4cuyyRry96IW> 
.  You will receive an email from Zoom with a link to join the meeting.

The presentation will be “The Narrow Edge: A Tiny Bird, An Ancient Crab, and an 
Epic Journey” by Deborah Cramer.
Deborah Cramer will speak about her latest book, The Narrow Edge, in which she 
accompanied a small sandpiper on its 19,000 mile annual migration and witnessed 
how its life, and ours, depend on an ancient animal, the horseshoe crab.   

Each year tiny sandpipers—red knots—undertake a near miraculous 19,000 mile 
journey from one end of the earth to the other and back. In this firsthand 
account, Deborah Cramer accompanies them on their extraordinary odyssey along 
the length of two continents, tracking birds from remote Tierra del Fuego to 
the icy Arctic. On the full moon of spring’s highest tides, she seeks out 
horseshoe crabs, ancient, primordial animals whose eggs are essential to 
migrating shorebirds, and whose blue blood, unbeknownst to most people, 
safeguards human health.  

The Narrow Edge offers unique insight into how the lives of humans, red knots 
and horseshoe crabs are intertwined, and is an inspiring portrait of loss and 
resilience, of the tenacity of birds, and the courage of the many people who 
bird by bird and beach by beach, keep red knots flying.

[nysbirds-l] "A Tale of Many Penguins" by Ardith Bondi. Queens County Bird Club Presentation, Wed 11/18/20 at 7:30 pm.

[Nancy Tognan]

The Queens County Bird Club will hold its next meeting via Zoom on Wednesday, 
November 18, 2020 at 7:30 pm. 

The presentation topic will be “A Tale of Many Penguins” by Ardith Bondi.
 Penguins are definitely not one size fits all. Although they mostly live 
in the Southern Hemisphere and none of them can fly, they exist in varied 
habitats on diverse continents and have distinct lifestyles and physiology to 
match. Penguins are intrepid, having adapted to living in some of the harshest 
environments on earth. However, not all of them live around snow and ice.  
Ardith Bondi’s presentation will show and discuss the different types of 
penguins, how they live, and her experiences observing them in the wild.

Zoom Step-by Step instructions.
Please do steps 1-6 now and let me know if you have any problems.  It is very 
difficult to help people on the date of the meeting.

1.  Apply for a free Zoom account if you do not have one already using website 
www.zoom.us <http://www.zoom.us/> and the “sign up” option.   (Zoom will send 
an email to confirm your address - the usual application process.)
 
2.  Use this registration link to register for the meeting:  
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYtce6qrjopH9JXuCTGAEH_I7NNBut1w3i3 
<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYtce6qrjopH9JXuCTGAEH_I7NNBut1w3i3> 
 You will have to fill in the email address that you used for your Zoom account 
and answer whatever questions it asks.
 
3.  After you have registered, Zoom will show you a confirmation page that says 
“Meeting Registration Approved” at the top and also send you an email with the 
same details. 
 
4.  There is a link “Add to Calendar”.  If you have an online calendar, this is 
recommended, so you can start the meeting from your calendar.
 
5.  There is a link “Please click this URL to join” followed by a long link.  
This is to be used on the date of the meeting.  You should not need any extra 
information, just this link.

6.  It is recommended that you test out this “join the meeting" link right 
away.  Click on it, launch the meeting, and Zoom should reply that the meeting 
date is 11/18/2020.  

7. If you receive a reply that  “this meeting is for authorized participants 
only” , it means that you are not “logged in” to Zoom on that device.  Go to 
www.zoom.us <http://www.zoom.us/> , then sign in.  Close the Zoom meeting 
window and click on the “join the meeting” link again.

8.  On the date of the meeting, please “join the meeting” before 7:30 pm, up to 
15 minutes early.  You can test out your volume settings and make sure all is 
Okay.

9.  If you misplace the “Join the meeting” link, you can always register again 
and Zoom will send you the same link.

This all sounds complicated.  But once you have set it up on the device and 
never “log out” of Zoom, it will keep working smoothly and you won’t have to 
worry about logging in.

[nysbirds-l] "A Tale of Many Penguins" by Ardith Bondi. Queens County Bird Club Presentation, Wed 11/18/20 at 7:30 pm.

[Nancy Tognan]

The Queens County Bird Club will hold its next meeting via Zoom on Wednesday, 
November 18, 2020 at 7:30 pm. 

The presentation topic will be “A Tale of Many Penguins” by Ardith Bondi.
 Penguins are definitely not one size fits all. Although they mostly live 
in the Southern Hemisphere and none of them can fly, they exist in varied 
habitats on diverse continents and have distinct lifestyles and physiology to 
match. Penguins are intrepid, having adapted to living in some of the harshest 
environments on earth. However, not all of them live around snow and ice.  
Ardith Bondi’s presentation will show and discuss the different types of 
penguins, how they live, and her experiences observing them in the wild.
 Ardith Bondi lives in Manhattan. She earned a Ph.D. in pharmacology from 
Columbia University and continued medical research at New York University 
Medical Center and at The Rockefeller University before leaving research to 
perform as a flutist. After years of performing and teaching, she still plays 
in the Centre Symphony in Manhattan and photographs birds near home and in many 
other interesting places far removed.

[nysbirds-l] Thank you all for your help. Summary. Re: EBird eliminated "Summarize my Observations" - problem for Christmas Bird Count

[Nancy Tognan]

I would like to thank all who replied to my eBird question.  Some replied to 
the entire listserve, others just to me.  Here is my analysis of all 
suggestions - hope it is useful.  I also found a non-eBird product that may 
help a number of people - see last suggestion of this email.

I think the best solution is for eBird to replace  the  “Summarize My 
Observations” feature as promised.  As eBird posted many months ago, "If you 
are looking for Summarize My Observations, please stay tuned for a new 
checklist summary tool in the coming year—we are modernizing the tool in a way 
that’ll make it even better than before.”

While waiting for eBird to decide if and when to develop this new feature:

Several birders (Joe Fell, Alan Wells, Adelia Honeywood) suggested downloading 
each checklist as a .csv and combining them in Excel, sorting them, and 
totaling on species.  Another (Arie Gilbert) suggested Avisys.  These are both 
time and effort-consuming solutions for something that used to take a couple of 
keystrokes.  Their use by some birders reflects that eBird is very good at 
collecting data but not adequate in retrieving it!

There are three suggestions that are especially useful for the CBC, which needs 
expeditious production of a trip summary with species totals.

The first was described in detail by Brendan Fogarty and referred to by Joshua 
Malbin.  Use the mobile app feature “Trip Summary” (first select the Checklists 
icon).  Use the TODAY option to email yourself the trip summary.
WARNING: This will retrieve only checklists submitted by that one device!  Any 
checklists shared to you will not be shown.  Anything done on the website is 
not shown, even corrections to a checklist that you submitted via the device.  
If you sign in a second device to the same account, the two lists of sightings 
are NOT combined.

The second suggestion was described in detail by Brent Bomkamp and referred to 
by Noah Strycker.  Use the website feature of My Ebird--Sightings List, then 
change the date range to the single CBC day.  This gives a list of all the 
species seen, but not how many of each.  Clicking on “View All” for a species 
gives you a total number of individuals (next to the green # of observations) 
that you need to write down.  Then, go back to the species list for the day, 
and repeat this for each species (This is time-consuming, and prone to 
transcribing errors.)
This solution will retrieve all of the day’s data for a user id, regardless of 
how it was entered or whether it was shared.  So groups using a “collective” id 
may collaborate their sightings.

Another useful suggestion was by Andrew Baksh:  view and post on the “eBird 
Community Discussion Group” on Facebook.  
I noticed a posting from Sept 1:  Birder Kent Fiala developed a website tool 
called the eBird Checklist compiler (use at your own risk).  It worked for me - 
I just had to Unprotect the Excel sheet to get the totals.It would be nice 
to have an official eBird product that has the same function; it would 
eliminate the setting up of ad hoc group “user i.d.s” to combine data just for 
one use.

From: Nancy Tognan 
Subject: EBird eliminated "Summarize my Observations" - problem for Christmas 
Bird Count
Date: October 12, 2020 at 12:31:42 PM EDT
To: NYS Birds listserve 

I contacted eBird via their website on August 23, 2020 re the following 
complaint.  There has been no response.

EBird used to have the function “Summarize My Observations”, which has now been 
eliminated.  It was useful to produce a combined trip list of multiple 
locations.  It was especially useful for the Christmas Bird Count.

My North Nassau CBC sector includes 19 locations (each a separate spot to drive 
to).  In years past, I could produce a combined checklist in about 2 minutes 
using “Summarize My Observations”.  Now what?  Print 19 checklists and combine 
the data by hand?  This may take two hours instead of two minutes.

I would like to have seen “Summarize My Observations” be improved to allow more 
flexible dates and selection of locations.  Instead, the whole feature is gone 
- did eBird ask anyone before deleting it?  I feel that birders spend a lot of 
effort inputting their data - shouldn’t eBird give us a better interface to 
inquire on it?

Does the loss of this feature bother anyone else or just me?

By the way, these other features were also deleted:  species All-Time 
First/Last Records, Arrivals and Departures, and High Counts.

eliminated.  It was useful to produce a combined trip list of multiple 
locations.  It was especially useful for the Christmas Bird Count.

My North Nassau CBC sector includes 19 locations (each a separate spot to drive 
to).  In years past, I could produce a combined checklist in about 2 minutes 
using “Summarize My Observations”.  Now what?  Print 19 checklists and combine 
the data by hand?  This may take two hours instead of two minutes.

I would like to have seen “Summarize My Observations” be improved to allow more 
flexible dates and selection of locations.  Instead, the whole feature is gone 
- did eBird ask anyone before deleting it?  I feel that birders spend a lot of 
effort inputting their data - shouldn’t eBird give us a better interface to 
inquire on it?

Does the loss of this feature bother anyone else or just me?

By the way, these other features were also deleted:  species All-Time 
First/Last Records, Arrivals and Departures, and High Counts.

[nysbirds-l] Cowbird nestlings needed for study

[Nancy Tognan]

Birders:
Prof. Kathleen Lynch of Hofstra University needs help in finding nests 
parasitized by cowbirds, for her latest study.  She has just received a grant 
to understand how the brain of a young cowbird develops, and she needs a few 
nestlings, who would be destroyed.  

If you would like to assist Prof. Lynch, please make note of the location of 
any cowbird-parasitized nests you may find, using GPS coordinates or by marking 
the viewpoint with a ribbon or otherwise.  Then, please contact her so that she 
may retrieve the cowbird nestling - don’t do it yourself! - she has the 
necessary federal and state permits to do so.  Email 
kathleen.s.ly...@hofstra.edu 

In 2017, Prof. Lynch visited Queens County Bird Club and presented an excellent 
lecture on adult cowbird brain differences compared to nest-builders. To read 
more about her work, see https://news.hofstra.edu/tag/kathleen-lynch/

To find out more about cowbird egg and nestling identification, see

Our presentation will be “Beach-nesting Birds of Long Island” by Amanda 
Pachomski.
 Long Island’s beaches and islands provide critical habitat for threatened, 
endangered, and at-risk shorebirds and seabirds.  Amanda will provide a closer 
look into the unique behaviors and biology of our local beach-nesting bird 
species. Then, she’ll give an overview of Audubon New York’s research and 
conservation work including coastal stewardship, productivity monitoring, 
migratory shorebird surveys, and human disturbance mitigation.
 Amanda Pachomski is a Long Island native, wildlife biologist, and 
sustainable living enthusiast.  She has a Bachelor of Science in Environmental 
Studies, Ecosystems from SUNY Binghamton and a Master of Science in Fish and 
Wildlife Biology and Management from SUNY College of Environmental Science and

[nysbirds-l] "Birding Southern Asia" by Donna Schulman - Queens County Bird Club presentation this Weds, February 19, 2020

[Nancy Tognan]

The Queens County Bird Club will be meeting at 8:00 pm this Wednesday, February 
19, 2020.  Free admission.   Refreshments will be served starting 7:30pm.  
Please arrive prior to the meeting start of 8pm because we cannot leave the 
door to this building open - you need to ring the entry bell and someone has to 
let you in.

QCBC is meeting at the Alley Pond Environmental Center’s “temporary” home for 
the next two years:  224-65 76th Ave, Oakland Gardens, NY 11364.  This is in 
the Alley Pond Park parking lot, north of 76th Ave, east of Springfield Blvd.  
For a Google map:  https://tinyurl.com/Alley-Pond-76th-Ave-parkg-lot 
<https://tinyurl.com/Alley-Pond-76th-Ave-parkg-lot> 
 
Our presentation topic is  “Cupwings and Rollers,  Partridges and Parrotbills: 
Birding Southern Asia”  by Donna Schulman.

  Some people think the best thing about birding India and Southeast 
Asia are the names of the birds. Is there anything more irresistible than 
‘Pygmy Cupwing’ or as charming as ‘Greater Necklaced Laughingthrush’? Well, the 
birds themselves. The 1,300 or so diverse species that populate southern Asia 
alternately amuse, fascinate, frustrate, and satisfy our nonstop thirst for the 
new and the fantastic. Donna toured India in 2016 and Thailand and the Malay 
Peninsula in 2019, both tours sponsored by the American Birding Association. 
Birding many of these areas can be challenging—the mountain forests are dense, 
the saltpans wide, and the birds tend to be secretive. Fortunately, bird 
photography has become a popular activity and eco-tourism a growing industry; 
feeding stations and ‘hides’ in the mountains, and well-run national parks 
allowed for good looks, vivid photographs, and wobbly video. This presentation 
will focus on the wonderful birds found in the very different habitats within 
these three countries. Of course, since we are all naturalists as well as 
birders, there will also be mammals (Tigers, anyone?) and other interesting 
creatures, hopefully giving you a taste of the rich natural resources of these 
countries. 

  Donna learned how to bird with QCBC and has branched out from Queens 
to Central and South America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and Europe. A librarian 
by trade, she reviews birding books for 10,000 Birds and Birding magazine, and 
has discussed “Best Birding Books of the Year” on the American Birding 
Association podcast three years running. Donna’s photographs have been used 
online and for educational purposes by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, NJ 
Audubon, and other organizations, including the new informational signs at 
Negri-Nepote Grasslands, Somerset, N.J. Her photos have been featured in 
Birding and Birdwatching Magazine. She is an adjunct professor at the School of 
Management and Labor Relations, Rutgers, and a past editor of QCBC’s News and 
Notes.

Hope to see you Wednesday!

[nysbirds-l] "The Birds of the Brazilian Northeast" - Queens County Bird Club presentation this Weds, January 15, 2020

[Nancy Tognan]

The Queens County Bird Club will be meeting at 8:00 pm this Wednesday, January 
15, 2020.  Free admission.   Refreshments will be served starting 7:30pm.  
Please arrive prior to the meeting start of 8pm because we cannot leave the 
door to this building open - you need to ring the entry bell and someone has to 
let you in.

QCBC is meeting at a new location, which will be the Alley Pond Environmental 
Center’s “temporary” home for the next two years:  224-65 76th Ave, Oakland 
Gardens, NY 11364.  This is in the Alley Pond Park parking lot, north of 76th 
Ave, east of Springfield Blvd. 
 
Our presentation topic is  “The Birds of the Brazilian Northeast” by Paulo 
Boute.  
 Brazil is larger in area than the lower 48 states of the U.S.   But it has 
only one single endemic ecoregion: the Caatinga, which is located in the 
northeast part of the country.  In eons past, it was home of many types of 
dinosaurs;  now, it is home of the rarest of the rare among Brazilian birds, 
such the Araripe Manakin, Lear´s Macaw, Scarlet-throated Tanager, Caatinga 
Antwren, White-browed Guan , Gray-bellied  and Caatinga Parakeet and much more… 
 including birds of the Atlantic Forest, such the Seven-colored Tanager and 
White-winged Cotinga . (At the Brazilian Northeast, the Atlantic Forest also 
has plants of the Amazon Forest, since it is believed both forests were 
connected, in the past.)
 Paulo Boute will be sharing his experience in guiding avid birders through 
this incredible area over the past 30 years, including time when Spix's Macaws 
were still living in the wild!  (Hoping for its return – more details during 
the lecture.)

 Hope to see you Wednesday!

[nysbirds-l] "The Birds of the Brazilian Northeast" - Queens County Bird Club presentation this Weds, January 15, 2020

[Nancy Tognan]

The Queens County Bird Club will be meeting at 8:00 pm this Wednesday, January 
15, 2020.  Free admission.   Refreshments will be served starting 7:30pm.  
Please arrive prior to the meeting start of 8pm because we cannot leave the 
door to this building open - you need to ring the entry bell and someone has to 
let you in.

QCBC is meeting at a new location, which will be the Alley Pond Environmental 
Center’s “temporary” home for the next two years:  224-65 76th Ave, Oakland 
Gardens, NY 11364.  This is in the Alley Pond Park parking lot, north of 76th 
Ave, east of Springfield Blvd. 
 
Our presentation topic is  “The Birds of the Brazilian Northeast” by Paulo 
Boute.  
 Brazil is larger in area than the lower 48 states of the U.S.   But it has 
only one single endemic ecoregion: the Caatinga, which is located in the 
northeast part of the country.  In eons past, it was home of many types of 
dinosaurs;  now, it is home of the rarest of the rare among Brazilian birds, 
such the Araripe Manakin, Lear´s Macaw, Scarlet-throated Tanager, Caatinga 
Antwren, White-browed Guan , Gray-bellied  and Caatinga Parakeet and much more… 
 including birds of the Atlantic Forest, such the Seven-colored Tanager and 
White-winged Cotinga . (At the Brazilian Northeast, the Atlantic Forest also 
has plants of the Amazon Forest, since it is believed both forests were 
connected, in the past.)
 Paulo Boute will be sharing his experience in guiding avid birders through 
this incredible area over the past 30 years, including time when Spix's Macaws 
were still living in the wild!  (Hoping for its return – more details during 
the lecture.)

 Hope to see you Wednesday!

[nysbirds-l] Red-headed Woodpecker in Kew Gardens near Forest Park, Queens County

[Nancy Tognan]

There is a Red-headed Woodpecker that is very easy to find because it is 
enjoying street trees.  It has been reported in the area (near Forest Park) for 
the past few days.
Park near:  129 Audley St, Kew Gardens, NY  11418.  It was flying from tree to 
tree along Audley St on both sides of Abingdon Rd.  
https://ebird.org/checklist/S62722529 <https://ebird.org/checklist/S62722529>

[nysbirds-l] "Breeding Bird Atlas" - Queens County Bird Club presentation this Weds, Dec 11

[Nancy Tognan]

The Queens County Bird Club will be meeting at 8:00 pm this Wednesday, December 
11, 2019.  Free admission.   Refreshments will be served starting 7:30pm.

We are meeting at a different location than usual due to construction at our 
old venue.  Meet at:  Sacred Heart Church Hall (lower level - the big rec room 
with a disco ball).  Enter on 215th Place, the second entrance north of 38th 
Avenue.  There will be a sign marking the correct entrance.  Parking is either 
on-street or in the church’s parking lot.  
https://www.google.com/maps/place/40°46'04.1%22N+73°46'07.1%22W/@40.7678056,-73.7692066,337m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d40.767808!4d-73.768646

Our presentation topic is  "NYS Breeding Bird Atlas:  How you can help” by 
Brendan Fogarty and Molly Adams.  We will find out how to participate in this 
important 5-year project, both as individuals and as a club, whether or not you 
use eBird.

  It has been 20 years since the last breeding bird atlas in New York 
State, and a lot has changed! The third atlas will take place from 2020-2025 
and involve thousands of volunteers from across the state. This talk will cover 
the history of the atlas, the importance of atlas data, and how you can get 
involved. Learn how the third atlas will differ from previous atlases, 
including how we will be using eBird for data entry.  EBird will make it easier 
to track progress and allow anyone to enter data anywhere.
 Atlasing is a great excuse to explore new areas and provides an intimate 
look into the daily lives of birds. Whether you are a beginner or advanced 
birder, this unique opportunity will strengthen your birdwatching skills while 
contributing valuable data to a large conservation-oriented project.

 Brendan Fogarty is the Secretary and Newsletter Editor of 
Huntington-Oyster Bay Audubon, and their youngest board member ever.  He is a 
Long Island local and has been involved in birding and Audubon here since his 
teens.  Brendan has been involved in several local conservation projects, 
including Piping Plover monitoring for the Town of Hempstead and abundance 
surveys for Seatuck Environmental Association.
 Molly Adams is the Advocacy and Outreach Manager of NYC Audubon.  Molly 
strives to connect people to conservation of the natural world through 
education, outreach, and advocacy.  She holds an MA in marine conservation and 
policy from Stony Brook, and a BA in critical and visual studies from Pratt 
Institute.  Molly founded the Feminist Bird Club in NYC for LGBTQIA+ folks, 
women, and people of color, to provide a safe way for birders to get outdoors 
in urban areas while also fundraising for basic human rights.

 Hope to see you Wednesday!

[nysbirds-l] North Shore Audubon presents "North Nassau CBC" by Stephane Perreault - Tuesday, Nov 26, 7pm

[Nancy Tognan]

The North Shore Audubon Society will hold its monthly program this Tuesday, 
November 26, from 7pm to 9pm, at the Manhasset Public Library, 30 Onderdonk 
Avenue, Manhasset NY 11030.  All are invited, free of charge.

Public transit users:  This location is a half-mile walk from the Manhasset 
LIRR station.

Our presentation will be “The North Nassau Christmas Bird Count” by Stéphane 
Perreault.

sure to entertain those who already participate, as well as those curious about 
this important citizen science project.
  A graduate of McGill University, Stephane participated in field 
research on the American Redstart, Yellow warbler, Red-breasted Merganser, and 
Cattle Egret.  Stéphane moved to Long Island in 1994, where he remained an avid 
birder.  Although his career has been focused on Biochemistry, he has been 
conducting professional bird surveys for the Seatuck Environmental Association 
since 2015.

[nysbirds-l] "Bats of New York City" - a Queens County Bird Club presentation this Weds. Nov. 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< 
<http://goo.gl/8cnmjT>  at 8:00 pm this Wednesday, November 20, 2019.  Free 
admission.   Refreshments will be served starting 7:30pm.

 Our guest speaker will be Kaitlyn Parkins, presenting "Nocturnal Neighbors: 
The Bats of New York City”
 Bats, one of the largest mammal groups, play a vital role in our 
ecosystem, even in New York City.  Kaitlyn Parkins, a conservation biologist 
for New York City Audubon, will discuss the secret lives of the bats that live 
in and migrate through the city—who is here, what they are doing, and where to 
find them.  She will present findings from over five years of research, 
including how bats use green roofs as foraging habitat. She will also discuss 
the threats to our bat populations and some of the work being done to mitigate 
these threats.
 Parkins studied at Fordham University, receiving a master’s degree in 
ecology and a graduate certificate in conservation biology.  Her other field 
work includes monitoring bird-building collisions in the city and studying 
beach-nesting shorebirds and colonial waterbirds in the NY Harbor.

Hope to see you Wednesday!

[nysbirds-l] "Barn Owls of Jamaica Bay" - North Shore Audubon meeting this Wednesday, October 30

[Nancy Tognan]

The North Shore Audubon Society will hold its monthly program on Wednesday, 
October 30, 2019, from 7pm to 9pm, at the Manhasset Public Library, 30 
Onderdonk Avenue, Manhasset NY 11030.  All are invited, free of charge.

Public transit users:  This location is a half-mile walk from the Manhasset 
LIRR station.

 Don Riepe will present “Barn Owls of Jamaica Bay."
  Don Riepe says: “For its size, Jamaica Bay has the largest number of 
nesting barn owls in New York State.  In the early 1980’s, as a park ranger, I 
helped build and put up the many owl boxes in remote areas of the Jamaica Bay 
Refuge.  With help from American Littoral Society, volunteers, and raptor 
bander Chris Nadareski, we have placed about 20 of these boxes.  Each year, we 
band roughly 18-30 owlets.  Although rather odd in appearance, the owlets will 
grow up to be strikingly beautiful barn owls.  A study of pellets undertaken by 
the National Park Service showed their major prey as Norway rats and meadow 
voles (Cook 1986).  Since Jamaica Bay has ample shoreline, upland and three 
closed landfills, these mammals are abundant.  Providing nesting habitat for 
the bay’s barn owls helps to assure their future as a top predator in New York 
City.”
  Don retired in 2003 from the National Park Service where he worked as 
a naturalist ranger and manager of the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in NYC.  
Currently employed as Jamaica Bay Guardian and Director of the Northeast 
Chapter for the American Littoral Society,  Don has written many articles on 
natural history and his photographs have been published in journals including 
Scientific American, National Wildlife, Audubon, and The New York Times.  He 
has an M.S. in Natural Resources Management from the University of New 
Hampshire and has taught a course in Wildlife Management at St. John’s 
University.  A long- time member of the Port Authority’s Bird Hazard Task 
Force, he also serves on the advisory board of NYC Audubon and is co-chair of 
the Brooklyn/Queens Jamaica Bay Task Force.

[Nancy Tognan]

I am posting this on behalf of Jacob Kowalick-Allen of the Museum of the Moving 
Image, jacob.kowalick-al...@movingimage.us

The Museum of the Moving Image in Queens will be presenting a series called 
Bird's-Eye View: The Films of Mikael Kristersson 

 which consists of three feature documentaries about birds in urban 
environments paired with conversation between the filmmaker Mikael Kristersson 
(an internationally recognized documentarian from Sweden whose films are rarely 
shown), best-selling author and ecologist Eric Sanderson (Manahatta), and other 
conservationists focused on birds and conserving our coastlines, both in New 
York City and abroad. Here is a link to the event: 
http://www.movingimage.us/programs/2019/10/25/detail/birds-eye-view-the-films-of-mikael-kristersson/

[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< 
<http://goo.gl/8cnmjT>  at 8:00 pm this Wednesday, October 16, 2019.  Free

 Our guest speaker will be Jason Stein, presenting “Invasion of the Tree 
Snatchers”.
  Non-native vines such as bittersweet and porcelainberry are pulling down, 
strangling, and covering over young trees throughout our region, turning our 
parks into "vinelands" instead of healthy forests. 
 Jason Stein is an Advanced Volunteer Coordinator for NYC Parks "Super

[nysbirds-l] "Capturing the Spirit of Birds" - Marie Read - a Queens County Bird Club presentation this Wednesday, June 19

[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< 
<http://goo.gl/8cnmjT>  at 8:00 pm this Wednesday, June 19, 2019.  Free 
admission.   Refreshments served.

 Our guest speaker will be Marie Read, presenting “Capturing the Spirit of 
Birds”:

What does it take to create photographs that reveal the essential spirit of 
birds? For wildlife photographer Marie Read it means understanding and then 
capturing their behavior, and in this presentation she’ll show you how it’s 
done.
 Marie will share the backstories to her compelling images of birds, many 
of which appear in her latest book Mastering Bird Photography: the Art, Craft 
and Technique of Photographing Birds and their Behavior, published by Rocky 
Nook earlier this year. Whether you’re a bird watcher or an experienced 
photographer, you'll gain a wealth of tips to help you improve your own images. 
You’ll learn that being observant, understanding birds’ body language, and 
taking your time contribute far more to getting great bird shots than having 
the newest camera and the biggest lens.
 Wildlife photographer and author Marie Read has forged a career out of 
capturing special moments in birds’ lives, creating images that combine beauty 
with impactful storytelling. Marie’s award-winning images have been featured 
nationally and internationally in magazines, books, and calendars.
 Her articles and photo essays about bird behavior and bird photography 
have appeared in Living Bird, Bird Watching, Nature’s Best, and Wild Planet, 
among others. She has authored or co-authored five books.
 Copies of Marie’s book will be available for sale after the meeting, cash 
or check only, please.

Hope to see you Wednesday!

[nysbirds-l] "A Tale of Many Penguins" - North Shore Audubon Meeting this Tuesday, May 28, 2019

[Nancy Tognan]

I almost never post meeting announcements twice.  But post-Memorial Day, a lot 
of people tend to forget that the first day after the weekend is TUESDAY, which 
is the date of our excellent presentation.  Hope to see you there!

-

The North Shore Audubon Society will hold its monthly program on Tuesday, May 
28, 2019, from 7pm to 9pm, at the Manhasset Public Library, 30 Onderdonk 
Avenue, Manhasset NY 11030.  All are invited, free of charge.

Public transit users:  This location is a half-mile walk from the Manhasset 
LIRR station.

 Ardith Bondi will present “A Tale of Many Penguins”.

 Penguins are definitely not one size fits all.  Although they mostly live 
in the southern hemisphere and none can fly, they live in varied habitats on 
diverse continents and have varied lifestyles.  Dr. Bondi's’ photo presentation 
will show and discuss the different types of penguins she has visited, how they 
live and what it took to photograph them in the wild.
 Ardith Bondi lives in Manhattan. She earned a PhD in pharmacology from 
Columbia University and then continued doing medical research at NYU Medical 
Center and at the Rockefeller University before leaving research to perform as 
a flutist.  After years of performing and teaching, she still plays in the 
Centre Symphony in Manhattan and photographs birds near her home and in many 
other interesting places.

[nysbirds-l] "The Women Who Saved the Birds" - Tessa Boase - a Queens County Bird Club presentation this Wednesday, May 15

[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< 
<http://goo.gl/8cnmjT>  at 8:00 pm this Wednesday, May 15, 2019.  Free 
admission.   Refreshments served.

Please join QCBC in welcoming author Tessa Boase, who is visiting us from Great 
Britain!

 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 led in 1889, 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 vote.
 Copies of Tessa’s book, Mrs Pankhurst’s Purple Feather: Fashion, Fury and 
Feminism – Women’s Fight for Change, will be available for sale after the 
meeting. 

Hope to see you Wednesday!

[nysbirds-l] "Birding the Hudson Valley" - - a Queens County Bird Club presentation this Wednesday, April 17

[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< 
<http://goo.gl/8cnmjT>  at 8:00 pm this Wednesday, March 20, 2019. Free 
admission.  Refreshments served.

Kathryn Schneider will present “Birding the Hudson Valley”

  KATHRYN J. SCHNEIDER, a Hudson Valley native, has spent decades 
studying the behavior, ecology, and distribution of birds. An award-winning 
author, teacher, and conservationist, she is a past president of the New York 
State Ornithological Association.
  Kathryn will describe her recent book "Birding the Hudson Valley", 
which provides encouragement for bird enthusiasts to expand their horizons.
  Although an estimated four hundred thousand Hudson Valley residents 
feed, observe, or photograph birds, the vast majority of New Yorkers enjoy 
their birdwatching activities mostly around the home. More than just a 
collection of bird-finding tips, this book explores Hudson Valley history, 
ecology, bird biology, and tourism. It describes sites in every county in the 
region, including farms, grasslands, old fields, wetlands, orchards, city 
parks, rocky summits, forests, rivers, lakes, and salt marshes.
  Designed for birders of all levels of skill and interest, this 
beautifully illustrated book contains explicit directions to more than eighty 
locations, as well as useful species accounts and hints for finding the 
valley’s most sought-after birds.
  Signed copies of Kathryn’s book will be available for sale after the 
meeting.

Hope to see you Wednesday!

[nysbirds-l] "Damselflies and Dragonflies" - a Queens County Bird Club presentation this Wednesday, March 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< 
<http://goo.gl/8cnmjT> at 8:00 pm this Wednesday, March 20, 2019. Free 
admission.  Refreshments served.

QCBC member Steve Walter will present “Damselflies and Dragonflies of Long 
Island”.
  Damselflies and dragonflies – the Odonata – are one of our most important 
groups of insects. They’re all around us, and with their beauty, have grown in 
popularity among naturalists.  A wide variety of species inhabit or pass 
through Long Island, including some that are rare or occur nowhere else in New 
York State.  Photographs of over 80 species will take you from New York City to 
the Pine Barrens to the barrier beaches.  A bit about their life histories and 
discussion of why they’re here will provide a great primer for those looking to 
discover the world of Odonates. 
  Steve Walter is a long-time naturalist on Long Island, having included in 
his pursuits the study of hawk migration, butterfly distribution, and the 
surveying of moth populations at several sites. His passion for Odonata has 
spanned more than 25 years, and has included the study of their migration, the 
New York State Atlas, and the discovery of species not previously recorded on 
Long Island.

Hope to see you Wednesday!

[nysbirds-l] "Bats of New York City" - a Queens County Bird Club presentation this Wednesday, February 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 this Wednesday, February 20, 2019. Free admission.  Refreshments served.

Kaitlyn Parkins will present “Nocturnal Neighbors:  The Bats of New York City”
 Bats, one of the largest mammal groups, play a vital role in our 
ecosystem, even in New York City. Kaitlyn Parkins, a conservation biologist for 
New York City Audubon, will discuss the secret lives of the bats that live in 
and migrate through the city—who is here, what they are doing, and where to 
find them. She will present findings from over five years of research, 
including how bats use green roofs as foraging habitat. She will also discuss 
the threats to our bat populations and some of the work being done to mitigate 
these threats.
 Parkins studied at Fordham University, receiving a master’s degree in 
ecology and a graduate certificate in conservation biology. Her other field 
work includes monitoring bird-building collisions in the city and studying 
beach-nesting shorebirds and colonial waterbirds in the NY Harbor.

Hope to see you Wednesday!
