SUMMARY:RBA March 9 Meeting - Greg Lawrence - Grassland Birds
DESCRIPTION:Grassland birds have declined more than any other suite of birds in the Northeast over the past 40 years. Management agencies and conservation groups have now identified grassland bird management and conservation as a priority. Greg will discuss the history of grassland breeding birds and their habitats in New York State\, as well as their management and conservation. He will provide an overview of grassland bird research and expand upon his own research on grassland birds in the state. He also will discuss future directions and controversies for grassland bird conservation in the region. \n \nGreg Lawrence is a graduate student at SUNY Brockport studying grassland community ecology\, with a focus on grassland breeding bird management and conservation. He currently works for Ecology & Environment\, Inc.\, and has previously worked as a grassland bird technician with the NYS DEC\, and on multiple research grants/projects at SUNY Brockport. He also serves on the board of the New York State Ornithological Association and Bergen Swamp Preservation Society. He has been an active birder in the area and member of the Rochester Birding Association since 2005\, starting as a young birder. He has led numerous field trips and given two previous talks for RBA.

SUMMARY:December:  "Gulls and Terns of Upstate New York" - Brad Carlson
DESCRIPTION:An overview of the species of gulls and terns that frequent Upstate NY\, including “hot spot” birding locations to find these species\, some identification tips including reference materials\, and a few highlighted rarities that have been located in our area. \nBrad Carlson was raised in Rochester\, NY and started birding at a young age.  His early birding involved day trips with his father and brother along the southern shore of Lake Ontario at Braddock Bay\, “Island Cottage Woods”\, Oak Orchard and the Niagara River.  After graduating from RIT\, Brad began birding all the major birding “hotspots” throughout North America.  Later\, he expanded this further to bird on a global scale exploring parts of Europe\, South America\, Asia\, and Africa.  In 1993\, he took up bird photography\, and subsequently has taken thousands of bird photos documenting his life list\, recording rarities and developing a library of photos to utilize for bird slide shows for local organizations.

SUMMARY:November: Dr. Christopher Norment - "At the Edge of the Arctic: Ornithological Research in the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge\, Alaska"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Christopher Norment will describe his experiences with ornithological fieldwork in the western part of the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge\, at the edge of the Bering Sea – one of the most important waterfowl breeding grounds in Alaska. He will speak of his work as part of a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service team working on annual studies of breeding bird nest productivity\, and will introduce the audience to a wild and beautiful landscape\, as well as to birds such as the Spectacled Eider\, Emperor Goose\, and Sabine’s Gull. \nChris Norment is a professor and chair of the Department of Environmental Science and Biology at the College at Brockport\, State University of New York\, where he specializes in the breeding biology\, ecology\, and conservation of migratory birds. In addition to numerous scientific articles\, he is the author of four books of creative nonfiction\, most of which seek to integrate personal narrative and lyrical descriptions of the natural world with the results of scientific research. His most recent book is Relicts of a Beautiful Sea: Survival\, Extinction\, and Conservation in a Desert World\, which is a meditation upon the wonder and tragedy of rare and endangered species. Set in the Death Valley region\, the book tells the stories of six rare desert species\, all of which are restricted to aquatic habitats: four types of pupfishes\, a toad\, and a salamander. The book uses their stories to illustrate the beauty of evolution and ecology\, and explore ethical and practical issues of conservation: just what are these species worth\, why are they rare\, and what would the cost of their extinctions be?

SUMMARY:October Speaker: Kimberly Sucy on Birding Japan
DESCRIPTION:Kimberly Sucy is a the Rochester Birding Association’s Field Trip Chairperson\, and enjoys nothing more than an outing to find new birds or enjoy familiar sightings.   She’s only been birding since around 2003\, after being enlisted into a major birding competition and forced to learn everything she could about passerines in a few short weeks.  Since then\, she’s focused primarily on New York State birds\, but has made multiple trips to Japan to see as much as she can of this wonderful country and its fascinating birds.  In her non-birding life\, Kimberly works in IT at a local hospital system\, geocaches\, plays Pokemon Go\, and plans field trips. \nWith a diversity of climates and habitats\, a wonderful public transportation system\, and ample amenities nationwide\, Japan is an ideal country to visit for birders who enjoy seeing new species and interesting endemics without suffering through the heat and species overload of many tropical trips.  Kimberly’s talk will include photos and anecdotes from the harsh conditions of northern Hokkaido to the sweltering heat of Japan’s southernmost outposts in Okinawa.  Throughout the length of the country\, she has encountered amazing bird life\, curious mammals\, intriguing customs\, delectable food\, and most of all a warm and welcoming populace that makes this country a dream destination for American visitors.

SUMMARY:September Speaker:  J. Drew Lanham\, Diversity in Conservation
DESCRIPTION:RBA is collaborating with the Seneca Park Zoo Society to host a special speaker on Tuesday\, September 27\, on the RIT Campus (COLA Auditorium in the College of Liberal Arts). \n*** \nDrew Lanham is a birder\, hunter\, writer\, and profound thinker about man’s relationship to nature. In his twenty years as Clemson University faculty he’s worked to understand how forest management impacts wildlife and how human beings think about nature. In his teaching\, research\, and outreach roles\, Drew seeks to translate conservation science to make it relevant to others in ways that are evocative and understandable.  As a Black American he’s intrigued with how culture and ethnic prisms can bend perceptions of nature and its care.  Drew is also a widely published author and award-nominated poet\, writing about his experiences as a birder\, hunter and wild\, wandering soul. RBA president Laura Kammermeier describes Drew’s writing like this: “he chisels out words like a blacksmith on metal.” \nDrew’s talk is sponsored by the Zoo. \nDrew’s first solo work\, The Home Place-A Colored Man’s Love Affair with Nature\, was recently published.  By turns angry\, funny\, elegiac\, and heartbreaking\, The Home Place is a remarkable meditation on nature and belonging\, at once a deeply moving memoir and riveting exploration of the contradictions of black identity in the rural South—and in America today. \nDrew’s talk is titled:  “The Uncomfortable Elephant Bird of Color in the Room–Addressing the Coming Changes in Conservation.”  He discusses the future of conservation and the necessity to broaden the message beyond its current audience. \nPut this one on your calendar! \n\nTuesday\, September 27 at 7 pm\n RIT Campus – COLA Auditorium\, located in the College of Liberal Arts\nSponsored by Seneca Park Zoological Society and Rochester Institute of Technology. \n\n\nBooks available. Book signing to follow. \n

SUMMARY:Beginner Trip: Charlotte & Badgerow Park
DESCRIPTION:We’ll be looking for shorebirds\, warblers\, and other fall migrants in Greece and environs. George W. Badgerow Park is a small area that offers good vantage points along pleasant trails\, with the occasional surprise rarity.  We’ll look for gulls in many plumages and some shorebirds\, too.  \nMeet at 8:00 a.m. at Ontario Beach Park in Charlotte in the northeast corner of the parking lot\, beside the Genesee River outlet.  Extra spotting scopes would be very helpful.\n \nNote: This is a field trip for beginners. New birders should feel free to join these trips regardless of experience level: bring binoculars if you have them\, and we will share our scopes. The pace & focus of Beginner Trips may not be satisfying for experienced birders. Our Beginner Trips focus on teaching identification skills\, learning new habitats\, and answering questions. Experienced birders are welcome but may be pressed into service as educators!

SUMMARY:Beginner Trip: Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge
DESCRIPTION:Learn more about the fall migration of shorebirds in this nearby birding treasure. We’ll visit key spots you’ll want to revisit again and again!  \nMeet in the Bushnell’s Basin Park and Ride lot at 2:00 p.m. The meeting site is off Route 96 just south of Exit 27 from I-490. Extra spotting scopes and FRS radios would be very helpful.  \nNote: This is a field trip for beginners. New birders should feel free to join these trips regardless of experience level: bring binoculars if you have them\, and we will share our scopes. The pace & focus of Beginner Trips may not be satisfying for experienced birders. Our Beginner Trips focus on teaching identification skills\, learning new habitats\, and answering questions. Experienced birders are welcome but may be pressed into service as educators!
