SUMMARY:November: Robert Rice - "A Warbler in My Coffee? : Linking Conservation to the Market Place via Bird Friendly Certification"
DESCRIPTION:Neo-tropical migratory birds have shown some drastic population declines in recent decades\, evidence of a number of challenges they face during the entire migratory cycle. Landscape transformation leading to habitat change and/or destruction in much of Latin America ranks high as a factor in overwintering sites for these declines. A coffee technology that transforms traditional\, shade-grown holdings to treeless\, agrochemical-dependent ones is seen by many as one such factor that has eliminated viable\, quality habitat for both migrant and resident birds. \nA science-based certification program developed by researchers at the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center (SMBC)—“Bird Friendly Coffee”—underpins an initiative to educate coffee farmers\, roasters and consumers about the role that a diverse shade coffee system can play in providing sorely needed habitat for many migrant species. Dr.Rice will present the journey that SMBC researchers have taken in developing and expanding this innovative scheme that links conservation to the market place. \nA geographer by training\, Robert A. Rice joined the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center (SMBC) at the Smithsonian’s National Zoological Park in 1995\, concentrating on research and policy issues related to migratory bird habitat and conservation. Rice’s organizing of the “First Sustainable Coffee Congress” and the “First International Workshop on Sustainable Cocoa Growing” helped place the SMBC on the map as a dynamic research group capable of acting as a catalytic force around conservation\, agriculture\, and the market place. Themes of Rice’s research and policy efforts include how the management of tropical agroecosystems relates to ecological questions\, as well as the socioeconomic benefits derived from diverse agroforestry systems. Since coming to the SMBC\, he helped develop a set of science-based criteria for shade coffee\, a system shown through research to serve as viable avian habitat—resulting in the “Bird Friendly” certification program. Rice has organized numerous workshops in coffee regions to train inspectors in the assessment of shade coffee systems.  These efforts have placed the Bird  Friendly certification on more than 12 million pounds of organic coffees—bringing a habitat/biodiversity dimension to environmental certification.

SUMMARY:Diane Henderson & Lucretia Grosshans:  Peru Birding Adventure
DESCRIPTION:Starting in Lima on the Pacific Coast\, long-time RBA members and past RBA officers Diane Henderson and Lucretia Grosshans traveled by planes\, trains\, vans\, taxis\, buses\, boats and even motorcars.  What’s a motorcar?  From sea level to 14\,000 feet elevation they saw over 500 species of birds in three weeks (July 16 – August 3\, 2014). \nBirds with names like Surf Cinclodes\, Parodi’s Hemispingus\, and Russet-backed Oropendola made their heads spin.  Omar\, their fabulous Peruvian guide pointed these out\, as well as many other species.  The country was beautiful and the people wonderful.   Some of the trip pushed Diane & Lucretia’s physical limits but they would go back to Peru – in a heartbeat!

SUMMARY:December:  Jeff & Tess Freedman - A Comparison of Birds in sub-Saharan East Africa and Central New York
DESCRIPTION:Jeff and Tess Freedman have boated extensively on Central New York (CNY) and regional waterways\, observing and photographing local birds. Their local travels by boat have included the Erie\, Oswego and Seneca Canals\, several of the Finger Lakes\, the Thousand Islands area\, and the Rideau Canal and the Trent-Severn Waterway in Ontario. In October\, 2012\, they went on a photo safari to Kenya and Tanzania\, visiting national parks\, conservation areas and game reserves where they observed\, identified\, and photographed wildlife\, including more than 100 species of East African birds\, from ostriches to the common drongo. This talk will present some of their favorite bird photographs\, with a view towards comparing the birds of far-off Africa\, and other equatorial zones (South America\, Galapagos Islands) recently visited\, with our own birds here in Central New York. Some topics to be discussed include: which families of birds are represented in both continents; how some East African and CNY birds are adapted similarly to their specific habitats; how certain African birds\, like the Sacred Ibis or the Secretary Bird\, got their names\, and other “fun facts” related to feeding or other adaptive behaviors. Certain species of East African birds seen\, such as the Lesser Flamingo\, some vultures\, the Secretary Bird\, the Southern Ground Hornbill\, and the Grey-crowned Crane\, are near-threatened\, vulnerable\, or endangered for extinction. \nSpeaker and amateur photographer Jeffrey C. Freedman (B.A. Swarthmore College; Ph.D. in Biology\, University of Pennsylvania) has taught Biology at Reed College\, Portland\, Oregon.  Subsequently\, after post-doctoral research at Yale University\, he performed research and taught Medical Physiology for 35 years at SUNY Upstate Medical University\, Syracuse\, NY\, where he is now emeritus faculty.  He also is an avid boater\, is Past-Commodore of Onondaga Yacht Club and Past-Commander of Syracuse Sail & Power Squadron.  In his retirement he teaches boating safety and boating-related courses to the public.  He is also Past-Chair of the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Community Participation Working Group (CPWG) on the remediation of Onondaga Lake.  An amateur photographer\, he has exhibited in the “On My Own Time Art Show” and at the library at SUNY-Upstate\, at the Everson Museum of Art\, and at the Museum of Science and Technology (MOST) in Syracuse. \nPrincipal amateur photographer Tess Freedman (B.A. Swarthmore College; Ph.D. in Chemistry\, University of Pennsylvania) is a retired Research Professor of Chemistry at Syracuse University where for many years she performed research and taught Chemistry\, and has also taught at Swarthmore College and at Onondaga Community College.  An avid boater and amateur photographer\, her photographs are displayed at Onondaga Yacht Club\, Liverpool\, NY\, where she is currently Commodore.  She is also the Education Officer of Syracuse Sail & Power Squadron.  She has won photo contests of the Onondaga Lake Partnership\, and has had photos selected for publication by the Army Corps of Engineers\, and also by the Great Lakes Conservancy for a poster regarding citizen participation in the control of invasive aquatic plants.

SUMMARY:September: Dominic Sherony - Those Amazing Birds!!!
DESCRIPTION:A look into the lives of selected bird families touching on a variety of subjects such as how they have adapted to a variety of habitats\, some that carry out unimaginable quests for food\, a contrast of birds that are colorful and others that are not\, and how their long past history is viewed today. Observing birds as living organisms has always interested Dominic Sherony. Through stories and a wide variety of sources\, Mr. Sherony hopes to give his audience a different perspective on birds\, perhaps one that will allow his listeners to see birds in different ways than they are accustomed. \nDominic Sherony was born and grew up in northern Illinois and attended University of Detroit and Illinois Institute of Technology\, completing degrees in Chemical Engineering. He worked for Xerox Corporation for 31 years after graduate school. He took up bird watching as a hobby in 1972 and has been an active birder since \, especially since his retirement. He leads local birding field trips\, was a region coordinator for the NYS Breeding Bird Atlas and volunteers at the Braddock Bay Bird Observatory. Dominic has written numerous papers about birds\, enjoys the challenge of photographing birds\, and occasionally give talks.
