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.

SUMMARY:Field Trip - New Michigan State Forest - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:DUE TO WEATHER – THIS FIELD TRIP HAS BEEN CANCELLED!\nThis is a unique high elevation forest which features boreal forest-like habitat not seen outside the Adirondacks or summits of the Catskills. It is one of the few places that SWAINSON’S THRUSH (a boreal forest bird) actually nests in Central NY. This place you can get ALL brown thrushes in the east at once… WOOD\, HERMIT AND SWAINSON’S THRUSH plus VEERY. In addition\, the spruces are full of warblers\, Blackburnian and Magnolia are particularly abundant here along with quite a few Mourning and Canada warblers.  \nConsider packing a lunch or at least a snack if you need to eat before noon. It is a 1 hour drive\, so we will probably bird from 8 to Noon and then head home.  \nMeet at Oakdale Mall\, pole #6 at the back of Sears at 7:00am. All are welcome!\nPlease consider volunteering to drive as we will likely need more than one vehicle.

SUMMARY:Member Picnic
DESCRIPTION:Our Annual Member Picnic will be on Wednesday\, June 26 at Otsiningo Park in Binghamton.  Please bring your own table service and a dish to pass.  Drinks (soda\, water\, juice) will be provided.  If you don’t have a dish to pass\, come anyway\, as there is always plenty of good food.    \nProgram: History of Otsiningo Park\nIn 1971\, Dolores Elliott directed salvage archeological excavations at Otsiningo Park during the construction of the Comfort Station.  She will talk about the history of the land and will point out where the excavations took place and where the prehistoric houses were located. \nMore than 12\,000 years ago\, the land on what became Otsiningo Park was buried under a mile of ice. As the glacier retreated\, animals such as mastodons\, mammoths\, and other megafauna moved north into our valleys. People we call PaleoIndians followed their prey north. The big animals became extinct\, the climate warmed\, and berry and nut producing plants began to grow here. The cultures of the people changed over the millenia to adapt to the changing environment. Less than 1\,000 years ago a horticulture economy based on many varieties of corn\, beans\, and squash evolved. By 400 years ago people related to the Iroquois were living here. Artifacts documenting life here over the last 12 millenia have been found in Otsiningo Park. \nDirections to Picnic Pavilion:  Otsiningo Park is located near the intersection of Upper Front Street and Bevier Street with the entrance off of Bevier Street.  After entering the park follow the loop.  Shortly after the volleyball pits\, take a right on the driveway to the community gardens follow the driveway to the Pavilion located near the old I-81 rest stop.
