SUMMARY:Hamlin Beach State Park
DESCRIPTION:We’ll start off walking flat wooded and brushy areas of the park\, looking for thrushes\, sparrows\, and maybe a half-hardy warbler or two.

The remainder of the trip will be a series of stops on our way back to Rochester. Possible stops include plowed fields\, Salmon Creek overlooks\, and East Spit\, all depending on the time and conditions. \nDress appropriately for cooler weather along the lake and wear comfortable footwear. \nRestroom facilities are available at Hamlin Beach State Park. \nMeet at 8:00 a.m. in Hamlin Beach State Park\, Parking Lot 1.

SUMMARY:October Meeting in Person & via Zoom with Speaker Adriaan Dokter\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 12 \nAdriaan Dokter\, Ph. D.\, Research associate\, Cornell Lab of Ornithology \nAdriaan Dokter studies the seasonal migrations of birds\, from the continental-scale movements of species to the fine-scale behavior of individuals flying through the atmosphere. He uses weather radar networks as well as individual tags to address questions in migration ecology\, including when and where birds migrate\, when and where birds die within the annual cycle\, and how shifting patterns in mortality and recruitment of young birds cause bird abundances to change. He also develops software tools for biologists using weather radar as a tool in their research. \nAdriaan Dokter is an ecologist with a background in physics. His research bridges the disciplines of ecology\, computer science\, physics\, and meteorology\, addressing questions about the effects of global change on the distribution and seasonal migration of birds. \nAfter receiving his Ph.D. at the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Physics in Amsterdam\, Dokter studied animal movement during postdoctoral appointments at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology\, the University of Amsterdam\, and the Netherlands Meteorological Institute. He has a continuing interest in understanding the role of individual decision making as a constituent of large-scale movement patterns\, which he explored in individual tracking studies on dark-bellied brent geese (Brant) and Eurasian Oystercatchers. \nLook for the Zoom link in your email a few days prior to the meeting. The Zoom Room will open at 6:45 PM.  Don’t wait until the last minute to sign on\, you might be left out!
