SUMMARY:Wednesday Birders
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday Birders is a group of birders\, birding\, but not a traditional field trip with a named leader who always provides a guided field experience. Everyone helps everyone else\, shares\, learns and enjoys birding together. Usually some advanced birders are there and are so helpful.  All are welcomed. We carpool when possible. \nAs times vary from week to week\, please watch COBOL for details and times which are usually announced a few days prior to Wednesday. \nAll the locations are listed on our website. From the home page\, select Birding Resources\, and from the drop-down menu\, you can choose Birding by County where you will get a list of favorite birding places including directions to the spots and what birds you might hope to find. \nOne of the goals of Wednesday Birders is to encourage everyone to use the ECBA birding site guides and get used to using those directions and the “how to bird it” tips for the locations. Simply select the county and the hotspots are listed alphabetically. \nImportant Notes: \n\nPlease remember to read COBOL by Tuesday mornings for last minute details and changes to plans in case of adverse weather\, road conditions or detours\, bird news or better birding opportunities. Watch COBOL for meeting and carpooling times and places or for changes in the plan.\nCOBOL is Central Oregon Birders Online.  It’s free to join.\nRemember to dress for the weather. Be prepared with food\, sunscreen\, etc. and bring a pair of binoculars. Spotting scopes are helpful on many trips.\n\nFor questions and for more information contact: brian.macdonald9@gmail.com or brianmacdonald0458 in Discord

SUMMARY:Birders' Night: Waddle We Do Without Penguins?
DESCRIPTION:Patty McGill will talk about the conservation status of penguins that live at lower latitudes and challenges they face.  Of these species\, she will emphasize African penguins\, found in South Africa and Namibia.  Last fall\, African penguins were declared Critically Endangered and they could be extinct in the wild in by 2035.  Patty serves as the Program Leader for a group of zoos and aquariums focused on saving African penguins\, and Patty will tell us about the array of projects the team leads and/or supports; these projects are focused on the most urgent and important conservation priorities. \nBackground: \nDr. Patty McGill received her PhD from Cornell University\, where she studied competition among species of gulls and also other species of seabirds.  She spent most of her career working in AZA accredited zoos\, in animal (bird) care and conservation.  She led the program to manage Humboldt penguins in zoos–and from there began to work with colleagues in South America on conservation & research projects on these penguins.  In one way or another Patty has worked with Humboldt penguins for 40 years\, and has been working with African penguins for about 10 years. \n
