Re: [nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay East Pond Report 7/26

[Kathryn Heintz]

Andrew,

Huge THANK YOU to YOU for all of your efforts at the East Pond.  You deserve 
enormous credit for keeping this issue front and center and for this year’s 
success.  Heroic effort IMO.

NPS deserves a lot of flack for the many shortcomings at JBWR.  In particular 
THEY should be leading the charge to maintain the East Pond.  They should be 
leading the charge to protect this special place, instead they need to be 
prodded constantly by you and Don and so many others who represent the members 
of organizations that care about and/or use this treasured space.  They should 
heed to calls to pro-actively protect the Refuge rather then avoid them or 
worse, resent them.

[nysbirds-l] Free lecture: GRASSLAND BIRDS OF FRESHKILLS PARK

[Kathryn Heintz]

Join NYC Audubon for a FREE lecture with Q on Monday November 8 from 7-8
p.m.

THE GRASSLAND BIRDS OF FRESHKILLS PARK
Monday, November 8, 7-8pm
By Dr. Shannon Curley and José Ramírez-Garofalo

Registration is required
<https://nycaudubon.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/nycaudubon/eventRegistration.jsp?event=3652;>
to
receive the Zoom link.

Temperate grasslands are globally imperiled, suffering from habitat loss,
land conversion, and lack of protection. Consequently, grassland birds are
among the most substantially declining North American birds. Dr. Shannon
Curley and José Ramírez-Garofalo will present findings from their work at
Freshkills Park in Staten Island, a nearly 2,000 acre reclaimed landfill
that has now become the home of various grassland specialists like
Grasshopper Sparrows, Eastern Meadowlarks, and Sedge Wrens. Learn all about
their on-going research and conservation successes in this maturing
grassland habitat with this virtual presentation. RSVP is required for this
free virtual event.
https://nycaudubon.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/nycaudubon/eventRegistration.jsp?event=3652;

The NYC Audubon Lecture Series has been made possible by the support of
Claude and Lucienne Bloch.  Thank you Claude and Lucienne!

Wetlands and how this helps birds:

WETLANDS MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK ONLINE PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION
Wednesday, October 27, 7-8pm
NYC Audubon with Natural Areas Conservancy and NYC Parks

Join us for a virtual presentation and discussion of the Wetlands
Management Framework for New York City

[nysbirds-l] Record Dead and Injured birds at dbird.org

[Kathryn Heintz]

International news media has picked up coverage of the mass bird collision
event experienced in NYC on Tuesday morning.  As tragic as this
occurrence was, the more people know about the dual problems of untreated
and reflective glass buildings and light pollution, the better are the
chances of turning lights out and also securing meaningful legislation to
bring about change.

Things you can do now to help birds and bird conservation:

Reduce artificial light at night in your sphere of influence.  This isn't
just an urban problem!

Treat window glass in your sphere of influence.  This isn't just an urban
problem!

Record any dead or injured birds you find at *dbird.org <http://dbird.org>*.
It takes less than a minute on your phone and you can upload a picture
instantly.  The database will record findings anywhere, not just in NYC.

Thank you!

https://nycaudubon.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/nycaudubon/eventRegistration.jsp?event=3277;

Join NYC Audubon, American Littoral Society, Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks
Conservancy, and the National Parks Service for a celebration of Jamaica
Bay's shorebirds! August is the perfect time to explore the diversity and
abundance of NYC's shorebirds, particularly at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife
Refuge. This year the festival will include guided bird walks around the
Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge and activities immediately outside of the
visitor center (now enhanced with Feather Friendly bird-safe window
treatment). With expert guides and family-friendly walks, this festival
will be fun for everyone.

Expert bird guides will be on-hand at the south end of Jamaica Bay’s East
Pond for some top-notch shorebird spotting throughout the day. *Leave as a
group at 11:30am*, or strike out on your own at any time. Check in with
festival staff and Rangers for trail guidance if setting out on your own.
Sturdy footwear and boots recommended.

*NOTE: Depending on water level conditions, a separate group may hike to
the north end of the East Pond at 11:30am. We will email pre-registrants
with updates about this possibility the day before.* Regardless of water
level, waders or knee high water-proof boots are generally necessary for
hiking in this area of the pond.

11am - 3pm, SWAROVSKI OPTIK Booth
Visit Swarovski Optik’s booth at the event to test out the latest offerings
from this world-renowned manufacturer of premium quality binoculars,
spotting scopes, and other optic equipment.

[nysbirds-l] Birding and Biking Across America with Dr. Scott Edwards on Weds May 26 at 7:30pm

[Kathryn Heintz]

Hudson River Audubon Society and NYC Audubon are co-hosting a FREE
presentation with Scott V. Edwards, Ph.D.
Register here:
https://nycaudubon.z2systems.com/np/clients/nycaudubon/eventRegistration.jsp?event=2424;

BIRDING AND BIKING ACROSS AMERICA
Wednesday, May 26, 2021 7:30 PM

In the summer of 2020, Scott V. Edwards, Professor of Evolutionary Biology
at Harvard University, realized a long-held dream. In June, he dipped his
bicycle tires in the Atlantic Ocean at Newburyport, Massachusetts and set
out to ride across the US with the goal of dipping his tires in the
Pacific. He strapped two signs to his bike: “Black Lives Matter” and “Birds
Spark Hope”. Ironically, the COVID-19 pandemic freed him of classroom
duties to take off across the country. He rode unassisted, no van followed
behind with a comfy bed, supplies and meals. He slept in campgrounds, in a
tent he packed in his bike bag. Heat, rain, bad roads, uphill climbs – he
kept going. He cycled 3,800 miles carrying a message for racial justice and
hope. The racial inclusion movements -- Blacks in Nature and Black Birders
Week -- inspired him, too.

How did Americans across the country react to this 57 year-old,
professorial, Black cyclist with his signs for racial justice and hope?
Come listen to him on Zoom, May 26th.  And, an added benefit, he’ll talk
about the birds he saw.

More about this impressive and determined cyclist/birder/professor: Scott
has taught and conducted research on the evolution of birds at Harvard
since 2003. He got his Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley. His
research uses genetic data to discover how bird species are related to each
other; how they defend themselves against disease; and how they move across
the landscape. Along with his research and teaching, he works towards
building as much diversity in the scientific workforce as there is in the
natural world.

[nysbirds-l] FREE 5th Annual HORSESHOE CRAB FESTIVAL Saturday, May 15, 11am

[Kathryn Heintz]

Join NYC Audubon, American Littoral Society, Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks
Conservancy, and NPS Gateway National Recreation Area for the 5th ANNUAL
HORSESHOE CRAB FESTIVAL Saturday, May 15, 11am-12:30pm


The FREE virtual program celebrates the annual arrival of the
400-million-year-old Atlantic Horseshoe Crab with this activity-filled and
information-packed webinar. During the full and new moons of May and June,
female horseshoe crabs lay billions of eggs at the high tide line. At the
same time, thousands of migrating shorebirds arrive to feed on the eggs,
regaining the bodyweight they've lost during their long journey north.
During this virtual festival you’ll see experts handle live horseshoe crabs
and learn about their important ecological and medicinal values. You can
also participate in our many family-friendly activities and expert talks,
including a virtual visit to the touch tanks at the New York Aquarium.

Registration is required. Link will be emailed to those who have registered
prior to the program. Limited to 500. FREE


https://nycaudubon.z2systems.com/np/clients/nycaudubon/eventRegistration.jsp?event=2409


The registration link for the virtual program is also available at the NYC
Audubon homepage:  www.nycaudubon.org



A LIMITED NUMBER of people will be able to join the event IN PERSON at

[nysbirds-l] FREE 5th Annual HORSESHOE CRAB FESTIVAL Saturday, May 15, 11am

[Kathryn Heintz]

Join NYC Audubon, American Littoral Society, Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks
Conservancy, and NPS Gateway National Recreation Area for the 5th ANNUAL
HORSESHOE CRAB FESTIVAL Saturday, May 15, 11am-12:30pm


The FREE virtual program celebrates the annual arrival of the
400-million-year-old Atlantic Horseshoe Crab with this activity-filled and
information-packed webinar. During the full and new moons of May and June,
female horseshoe crabs lay billions of eggs at the high tide line. At the
same time, thousands of migrating shorebirds arrive to feed on the eggs,
regaining the bodyweight they've lost during their long journey north.
During this virtual festival you’ll see experts handle live horseshoe crabs
and learn about their important ecological and medicinal values. You can
also participate in our many family-friendly activities and expert talks,
including a virtual visit to the touch tanks at the New York Aquarium.

Registration is required. Link will be emailed to those who have registered
prior to the program. Limited to 500. FREE


https://nycaudubon.z2systems.com/np/clients/nycaudubon/eventRegistration.jsp?event=2409


The registration link for the virtual program is also available at the NYC
Audubon homepage:  www.nycaudubon.org



A LIMITED NUMBER of people will be able to join the event IN PERSON at
Broad Channel American Park to learn about Horseshoe Crabs. *Space is very
limited* and must be reserved in advance.  Separate registration links for
the in-person sessions are found on the main program registration page.

Hope to see you there!

[nysbirds-l] Join NYC Audubon this Thursday for a free talk: EXTINCTION IN TWO ACTS: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF THE CAROLINA PARAKEET

[Kathryn Heintz]

EXTINCTION IN TWO ACTS: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF THE CAROLINA PARAKEET
By Kevin R. Burgio, PhD
Thursday, May 6, 6:30-7:30pm


Get to know Dr. Kevin Burgio, NYC Audubon's new director of conservation
and science, with this virtual talk highlighting his research. The Carolina
Parakeet, America's only endemic parrot, went from being widespread at
around 1800, when John J. Audubon first noted a decline, to being isolated
into small, remnant populations by 1900. These iconic birds hung on until
the 1930s or 1940s, before blinking out entirely. Despite all of the
research on this species, especially over the last 50 years, there is no
still clear explanation for its loss. Some have pointed to hunting,
trapping, habitat loss, disease, and even competition with bees for nesting
spots as the cause, but it is still a mystery. During this talk, Dr. Burgio
will discuss how he came to study the Carolina Parakeet, along with the
species' basic biology, current thinking about its extinction, and all he
learned over the course of the 10 years he has studied and published
research on this iconic species. Registration required. Limited to 500. FREE

[nysbirds-l] NYC Audubon Young Conservationists Owl “Flappy Hour” April 16 at 5pm

[Kathryn Heintz]

Join the NYC Audubon Young Conservationists Council for its first Zoom “Flappy 
Hour” on April 16, at 5pm ET. FREE
 
It’s been a big year for owls in New York City. First there was Rocky, the 
Northern Saw-whet Owl found in the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in 
December, and then only a few weeks later we had our first Snowy Owl sighting 
in Central Park in 130 years! Given all of this owl excitement, now is a great 
opportunity for young birders and conservationists to learn more about the owls 
that live in the five boroughs of New York City, and how to seek out and watch 
owls in ethical fashion!
 
Run of Show:
1. Ornithologist Dr. Shannon Curley discusses owls in NYC and ethical owling. 
2. Meet an Eastern Screech-Owl with the Raptor Trust in New Jersey. 
3. Play Owl Trivia
.
The NYC Audubon Young Conservationists Council is a group of eight young New 
Yorkers who are committed to sharing the wonders of this city’s diverse 
ecosystem with the next generation of New Yorkers, and who are dedicated to 
protecting and conserving its natural habitats.

[nysbirds-l] NYC Audubon FREE presentation by Thomas Mellins Feb 10 from 7-8pm

[Kathryn Heintz]

Please join NYC Audubon for a presentation by Thomas Mellins
Monday, February 10, 7-8pm
Parish House of Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church
921 Madison Avenue, New York, NY

Throughout its history, New York City’s natural spaces have been shaped by
urban planning and development. Join author, curator, and architectural
historian Thomas Mellins to explore this process through the lens of his
book, New York Rising, an illustrated history of real estate development in
Manhattan. Learn about the big ideas, big personalities, and big risks that
collectively shaped the natural spaces that we love—and love to bird. Much
of the material is drawn from the Durst Organization archives. Mellins is
also the co-author, with Robert A. M. Stern, of New York 1880, New York
1930, and New York 1960. He has organized exhibitions at the Museum of the
City of New York, the National Building Museum, and Yale University. Copies
of New York Rising will be available for purchase and signing after the
lecture.

Refreshments served from 6:30 pm

NOTE: NYC Audubon's lecture series has migrated to a new location! The new

[nysbirds-l] NYC Audubon FREE Lecture with Roger Pasquier, December 16th. New location.

[Kathryn Heintz]

On Monday, December 16, New York City Audubon will present a lecture
by Roger Pasquier.
Roger will speak about "Birds in Winter," the subject of his new book.
Free and open to the public, all are welcome to come early at 6:30 for a
beverage and bird-friendly socializing.

BIRDS IN WINTER: SURVIVING THE MOST CHALLENGING SEASON
By Roger F. Pasquier
Monday, December 16, 7-8pm

NOTE: NYC Audubon's lecture series has migrated to a new location! The new
venue is
the Parish House of Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church
921 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10021 (between 73rd and 74th Streets).

Join us for an in-depth exploration of the ecology and behavior of birds
during their most challenging season: winter. Ornithologist and
conservationist Roger Pasquier will examine how winter affects birds' lives
all through the year, starting in late summer, and will show how the birds'
resulting behaviors can be visible to any interested observer. He will also
delve into the unique conservation challenges posed by winter and how global
warming is altering the nature of the season itself. Pasquier is currently
an associate in the Department of Ornithology at the American Museum of
Natural History. He has worked for the Smithsonian Institution, the World
Wildlife Fund, the Environmental Defense Fund, and the National Audubon
Society. He has authored several books on birds and art history, which,
along with "Birds in Winter" (Princeton University Press, 2019), will be
available for purchase and signing by Pasquier after the lecture.
