Next Monday, February 14, is the Cayuga Bird Club's monthly meeting at 7:30 pm. Zoom Registration Link: https://tinyurl.com/cbc2022-02 Also note the updated presentation title and description below. Title: What are Finca Cantaros Environmental Association and Proyecto Caerulea? And how do they support bird conservation in Costa Rica?Speakers: Lilly Briggs, Ernesto Carman, Paz Irola Finca Cantaros Environmental Association (FCEA) is a nonprofit environmental organization founded and directed by Lilly Briggs, PhD, former Postdoctoral Associate with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Established in Canada, FCEA is based physically in Coto Brus, Costa Rica, where Lilly and her team strive to achieve their mission of "creating community and inspiring action through environmental education." Lilly will discuss how FCEA supports bird conservation through the Cornell Lab's BirdSleuth International curriculum, tree-growing initiatives, and research collaborations. Lilly will be joined by Ernesto Carman and Paz Irola of Costa Rica's Proyecto Caerulea. They will jointly discuss Motus and their collaborative work with this network, and how it helps us better understand and protect stopover habitat for migratory birds. Lilly Briggs did her PhD in the Department of Natural Resources at Cornell University with a focus on environmental education and the human dimensions of conservation, followed by a Postdoctoral Associate position at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Her involvement with the development of BirdSleuth International led her to Coto Brus, Costa Rica, where she became enamored with the birds, people and a special reforested property called Finca Cantaros. She bought Finca Cantaros and moved there permanently in 2019, and converted it into Finca Cantaros Environmental Association in 2020. Proyecto Caerulea was sparked by Ernesto Carman's observations of large numbers of Cerulean Warblers at Las Brisas Nature Preserve in Costa Rica. In 2018, Proyecto Caerulea received a major boost by joining efforts with SELVA and their Neotropical Flyways Project, conducting surveys at different sites within Costa Rica to determine occupancy rates of migratory species such as the Cerulean Warbler to predict where other important stopover sites might be located. The presentation will be followed by the business meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club and a short chat time. Hope to catch you all on zoom next Monday.Colleen RichardsCorresponding SecretaryCayuga Bird Club ____________________________________________________________ Sponsored by https://www.newser.com/?utm_source=part&utm_medium=uol&utm_campaign=rss_taglines_more
