SUMMARY:Member Meeting - Darwin's Tangled Bank in a Changing World: The ecological and evolutionary implications of climate change for insects in temperate environments
DESCRIPTION:Tom Powell will be the guest speaker for our February meeting. He will discuss how anthropogenic climate change poses multifaceted threats to insect diversity well beyond the intuitive stresses of warmer summer temperatures. We will discuss some of the major ways that insects in our region are expected to be imperiled by changing seasonal regimes in the coming decades\, including the regulation of life cycle timing\, aspects of overwintering physiology\, and altered interactions with other species. \n  \nAs always\, Naturalists’ Club Member meetings are free and open to the public. \nCan’t make this month’s meeting in person?

SUMMARY:Member Meeting - Tracking Mammals in the Northeast
DESCRIPTION:Linda Spielman will be the guest speaker for our January meeting. She will discuss techniques for finding and identifying mammal tracks. \nLinda has been an environmental educator and student of animal tracking for over twenty-five years. She has studied tracking with Charles Worsham\, Paul Rezendes\, Susan Morse\, George Leoniak\, and Tom Brown. The tracker and artist Charles Worsham encouraged her to use drawing as a learning tool. Linda has been drawing ever since and loves the way drawing a track leads her to insights she would otherwise have missed. She has also been photographing tracks for many years and enjoys sharing her extensive collection of photos. She leads tracking workshops and informal outings with participants\nat all levels. She has worked with conservation organizations\, tracking conferences\, nature centers\, college and university classes\, and school-age youth. She also leads the Ithaca Tracking Club. Linda’s expertise will be shared with our club at our monthly meeting at the Vestal Public Library and again on a tracking field trip on February 4 (see below). You can also learn more through her book\, A Field Guide to Tracking Mammals in the Northeast. \n  \nZoom Meeting Information \nUse this link to join the meeting: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86125429140?pwd=N2pjMy9mU3RBZTFSZ1JiVGpyam9mUT09\nMeeting ID: 861 2542 9140 Passcode: 948386 \nAll participants will be muted until the question and answer period of the presentation.

SUMMARY:Member Meeting - What's Up With The Trees?
DESCRIPTION:We’ll take a look at what’s going on with our trees – in the recent past and today – and what the future might hold. Environmental and ecological changes are accelerating\, and trees are a sort of visible canary-in-the-coal-mine indicator of nature’s health. We’ll look at a few species from American Chestnut to Ashes to Eastern Hemlock. Are the problems manageable? \nJeff Smith is a Naturalist and board member at Waterman Conservation Education Center (WCEC)\, with a focus on wetland ecology and botany. In the past few years he’s been working on inventorying plants and plant changes at WCEC sites. Recently he’s focused on invasive plants and insects and troubled trees (especially Hemlock and Ash). He promotes general nature education through nature/plant identification walks and talks. As a videographer\, he maintains the WCEC YouTube channel “Waterman’s STNY Nature” (youtube.com/@watermancenter). \nSilent Auction\nThe Naturalists’ Club will be holding their annual Silent Auction at our May membership meeting. Please bring any nature related items you would like to donate to the club for this fundraiser. Items can include books\, optics\, gardening supplies\, knick-knacks\, bird feeders\, and more. There will be bidding forms describing the item. Fill in your name and your bid amount on the form. Keep an eye on any items that you want. Someone may outbid you and then you can rebid to try to win the item. The bidding will close at program start. Come a little early to drop off your donation and browse through all the items. Thank you in advance for your donations. All proceeds help fund club activities.

SUMMARY:Online Meeting - California Condors: Back from the Brink
DESCRIPTION:California Condors once soared across the continent\, but progressive decline of food sources\, habitat\, and interactions with humans meant that by the 1980s\, there were barely two dozen birds alive. Massive efforts to keep the largest of North American birds alive have resulted in three well-monitored flocks that once again soar over the western regions of Mexico and United States. \n \nGuest speaker Christina Baal is a bird artist and naturalist whose dream in life is to meet and paint 10\,000 different species of birds. After graduating from Bard College with a degree in studio art\, she started her own art business and travels across the country and around the world searching for birds. Christina currently lives in Pinnacles National Park in Central California where she volunteers with the California Condor Recovery Program. \nJoin us online using this link to join the meeting:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86125429140?pwd=N2pjMy9mU3RBZTFSZ1JiVGpyam9mUT09\nMeeting ID: 861 2542 9140 Passcode: 948386 \nThis meeting is open to the public\, all are welcome to join.

SUMMARY:Online Meeting - The Mysterious Stone Piles in the Woods
DESCRIPTION:Thousands of carefully laid up piles of stones are scattered across the hillsides of southern New York and northern Pennsylvania. They were built by human hands sometime after the glaciers retreated north more than 12\,000 years ago. When they were made\, who made them\, and why they were constructed are questions that do not have definite answers. \nDolores Elliott encountered a site in 1966 in Painted Post while on highway survey for the proposed right-of-way of route 17. In the years since she has inventoried several hundred more sites. Over 30 years ago she reported on them at a program of the Broome County Historical Society which met in Sears Harkness at Roberson Center. She has collected some more information since then but the questions are still not answered. \nClub member Dolores Elliott grew up her father’s Chenango County dairy farm and graduated from Bainbridge High School. She received a BA in Anthropology from Harpur College and a Masters in Archaeology from SUNY Binghamton.  \nJoin us online using this link to join the meeting:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86125429140?pwd=N2pjMy9mU3RBZTFSZ1JiVGpyam9mUT09 \nMeeting ID: 861 2542 9140     Passcode: 948386 \nYou will be able to join the meeting beginning at 7:00pm and the talk will begin at 7:15pm.
