December Meeting: Tom Snyder – Nature, zoos, and conservation

The Clover Center of the Arts and Spirituality/The Baptist Temple 1101 Clover Street, Rochester, NY, United States

Tom Snyder will take you through his path to his current role as a zoo director. He will talk about a childhood of exploration, and about his early field days in the Bahamas through his most recent trip to Guatemala. He will give you a glimpse of what it is like to have to balance partnerships, and a dedicated staff to increase conservation impact while telling a compelling story.

October: Kyle Horton – “Using Radar to Quantify and Forecast Migratory Patterns”

The Clover Center of the Arts and Spirituality/The Baptist Temple 1101 Clover Street, Rochester, NY, United States

The notion of hundreds of millions, if not billions, of migratory birds passing in and out of broad geographic areas is of considerable public and ecological interest – and of conservation concern. Capturing and quantify these large-scale movements has remained a principle challenge.

September: Janet Allen – “Creating a Bird-Friendly Yard”

The Clover Center of the Arts and Spirituality/The Baptist Temple 1101 Clover Street, Rochester, NY, United States

May: Suan Hsi Yong – “Who goes there? Birding with Infrared Thermography”

The Clover Center of the Arts and Spirituality/The Baptist Temple 1101 Clover Street, Rochester, NY, United States

Infrared Thermography allows one to see the temperature of everyday objects. It can highlight warm objects against a cooler background, making it a great tool for finding birds and other warm-blooded animals.

March: Lynn Braband – “Protecting Yourself from Ticks & Tick-borne Disease”

The Clover Center of the Arts and Spirituality/The Baptist Temple 1101 Clover Street, Rochester, NY, United States

As March is ushered in and the snow begins to melt, more of us will be heading out to our favorite birding spots. As we trek through fields and forests in search of birds, we must take precautions against ticks. Come to the March 8, 2018, RBA meeting where Lynn Braband of the New York State Community Integrated Pest Management Program of Cornell University will talk to us about these insects and what we all need to do to keep safe.

February: Andrea Patterson – “What’s In a Name?”

The Clover Center of the Arts and Spirituality/The Baptist Temple 1101 Clover Street, Rochester, NY, United States

Why is an Orange-crowned Warbler called by this name when only a tiny bit of orange--rarely seen--exists on its head? Why is a Robin called a Robin when it is in the Thrush family? Come find out when Andrea presents results of her research at the February 8, 2018, Rochester Birding Association monthly meeting.

November: Andrea Patterson – “A Bird in the Hand”

The Clover Center of the Arts and Spirituality/The Baptist Temple 1101 Clover Street, Rochester, NY, United States
