SUMMARY:Field Trip to Broome County Fields
DESCRIPTION:Broome County Fields\nSaturday\, February 28 – 8:00am \nThere are still a lot of birds to be seen in Broome County in the winter. Let’s see what winter specialties we can find. We’ll visit local hotspots to look for Northern Shrike\, Rough-legged Hawks\, Snow Buntings\, Horned Larks\, Bald Eagles and Tree Sparrows. We’ll also try for some rarer species including\, Redpolls and Pine Siskins.\nFOR BOTH TRIPS – meet at Oakdale Mall\, pole #6 at the back of Sears. Volunteer drivers may be necessary.

SUMMARY:Membership Meeting – Caspian Terns of Oregon
DESCRIPTION:Dylan Horvath will discuss the Caspian Terns of Oregon. He will share stories about his experience in Caspian Tern research in the Columbia River Estuary in the Northwest (Oregon/Washington).  Dylan lived on East Sand Island for 4 months monitoring and guarding the largest Caspian Tern colony on the west coast.  Other wildlife antics on the island were often just as interesting as the terns themselves! \nDylan Horvath is the Steward of Natural Areas of Binghamton University and a Wildlife Biologist.  He not only oversees activities and maintenance of the campus’ natural areas\, but also develops and coordinates educational programs for area school groups\, as well as facilitates the research and academic use of these areas.  In addition\, Dylan has spent nearly 15 years as a wildlife field biologist researching various organisms from salamanders to birds\, bats\, and wolverines. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Membership Meeting – Clark's Nutcrackers & Whitebark Pine Decline
DESCRIPTION:Whitebark pine and Clark’s Nutcrackers have a fascinating relationship: the trees provide rich\, fatty seeds\, and the birds “plant” the trees’ seeds —a single bird may hide up to 98\,000 seeds in a year. The food caches help the birds get through the winter\, and the leftovers grow into new trees. In fact\, whitebark pine trees sprout almost exclusively from nutcracker seed caches. This dependency has led to considerable concern for both species because whitebark pine ecosystems are rapidly disappearing in the western United States.\nLearn how research has advanced our understanding of the magnitude of the impact of the decline of whitebark pine on Clark’s Nutcrackers’ behavior and populations and how this data will aid in the design of biologically informed management interventions which will help maintain a healthy ecosystem by ensuring persistence of nutcrackers throughout their range. \nTaza Schaming\nTaza tells us that her career in ornithological and conservation research is not only her professional goal\, it is one of her greatest passions. A graduate of Cornell University\, Taza is currently working on finishing her PhD\, studying the topic she will be discussing at our meeting. \nThrough her research\, she is striving to create a better understanding of the intersection between conservation\, ornithology\, behavioral ecology\, and community ecology.

SUMMARY:Membership Meeting - Humpback Whales - Composers of the Sea
DESCRIPTION:Humpback whales are the maestros of the marine world. Their “songs” actually develop and change over time – an example of cultural evolution in a non-human species. Katy Payne and Ann Warde of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Bioacoustics Research Program have teamed up for this audio-visual presentation during which they will introduce the audience to whales\, the sounds they make\, and the concept of deep listening. \nOur September Meeting will feature an Open House.  Barb Cole\, club member and  licensed wildlife rehabilitator\, will bring a rescued animal to the September Open House meeting. At the meeting\, we encourage members to show their support for local wildlife rehabilitators by helping to collect donations of rehabilitation supplies. Suggested donations include: small coffee filters\, baby food\, powdered milk\, old blankets and towels\, dog food\, and paper towels. \nMeetings are open to the public.  The talk will include a question & answer session and light refreshments.

SUMMARY:Membership Meeting - BIRDS AND THE IMPACT OF THE CONSTITUTION PIPELINE
DESCRIPTION:BIRDS AND THE IMPACT OF THE CONSTITUTION PIPELINE \nby Andy Mason \nThis program will address the impacts and outline what concerned citizens can do during the public review process for the Constitution Pipeline project. The proposed 124 mile Constitution Pipeline\, slated to run from Susquehanna County\, PA through Broome\, Chenango\, Delaware and Schoharie Counties in NY will fragment large tracts of forest in the region\, bringing about significant changes for breeding birds that depend on these habitats.  These include many neotropical migrants such as Wood Thrush\, Scarlet Tanager\, Black-throated Blue Warbler\, and other species  that are already at risk. The\n100 ft. wide pipeline corridor will expose these birds to increase predation and nest parasitism\, reducing breeding success.  In addition\, the pipeline route will impact wetlands\, streams and other natural areas important to  birds\, including  an Audubon- designated Important Bird Area and two state forests. \nAndy Mason is co-president of the Delaware-Otsego Audubon Soc. and co- chair of the group’s  Franklin Mt. Hawkwatch. He is past chair of the Audubon Council of NY State\, and past president  of the NY State Ornithological Assoc.  He has been an active  birder for over 30 years\, participated in the NY State Breeding Bird Atlas\, and has lead bird  workshops for the Appalachian Mountain Club.

SUMMARY:Membership Meeting - "Smart" Feeders and Optimal Bird Foraging
DESCRIPTION:Americans spend billions of dollars each year feeding birds and provide an enormous food  subsidy. But little research has been conducted to understand how birds use the food we provide\, and how that food influences the survival and behavior of birds. \nUsing passive integrated transponders (PIT tags) and “smart” bird feeders\, we’re tracking the feeding behavior of individual birds and gaining an unprecedented view of their activity. This presentation will reveal how we use technology to study feeding behavior\, and will explore the movements\, survival\, and daily and annual activity patterns of our favorite feeder birds. \nSpeaker David Bonter is an ornithologist working as Senior Lecturer at Cornell University and Assistant Director of Citizen Science at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

SUMMARY:Membership Meeting
DESCRIPTION:How Introduced Plants\, Worms\, and Deer are Reshaping Our Neighborhoods\n\nAll habitats of the Northeast and their inhabitants are currently facing an unprecedented challenge by needing to simultaneously respond to global climate change\, invasive species\, habitat fragmentation\, and increasing deer herds. Which species can be assumed safe? Which species will likely go extinct? And what is the role of humans not only as facilitators of global change but also as stewards of our natural heritage? \nDr. Blossey will focus on the interplay of deer\, worms\, and invasive plants and address what individuals and organizations can do to help conservation efforts. Bernd Blossey is an Associate Professor in the Department of Natural Resources at Cornell University. \nPhoto provided by Christina Rollo\, http://www.rollosphotos.com.
