SUMMARY:Birders' Night--The Bird–Caterpillar Connection with LeeAnn Kriegh
DESCRIPTION:Caterpillars are the single most important insect in the diet of most terrestrial birds\, yet our knowledge of these larval marvels often begins and ends with The Very Hungry Caterpillar. So\, let’s get caught up on the latest research. We’ll explore the life cycles of each of the 160\,000 species of caterpillars (or at least a few of the best-known)\, discuss why these bristly sausages are so vital to nestling diets\, and learn a few simple ways we can boost caterpillar populations in our own backyards.  LeeAnn Kriegh is a woolly bear enthusiast and author of The Nature of Bend and The Nature of Portland. She’ll have the 2025 editions of both books available for sale at the talk. \nThe program will start at 6pm. Feel free to come early for dinner and a beverage. There is typically a nice group there by 5:00pm or so. \nAnd Worthy Brewing offers a nice Happy Hour Menu from 3-6pm.

SUMMARY:Birders' Night: Harry Fuller on Birding Harney County
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Sora at Page Springs\, taken by Wendy Temko \nBIRDING HARNEY COUNTY \nWhere and when are always crucial elements when seeking that special bird.  And Harney County has many birds not found where most birders live.  From Bobolink to Common Nighthawk.  From Ferruginous Hawk to Franklin’s Gull.  From White Pelican to Wilson’s Phalarope this area is a birder’s challenge.  Timing\, habitat\, amount of water in the basin–the variables are many and crucial to understand.  Although Malheur NWR is the largest refuge in the 48 states\, it is a small parcel of what huge Harney County has to offer–a county large than Rhode Island\, Delaware and Connecticutt combined\, with fewer than 8000 human residents. \nHarry Fuller is a veteran birding guide.  He currently leads field trips for the Malheur Field Station in eastern Oregon as well as for Salem Audubon and Polk County Soil Conservation. Baskett Slough and Cornerstone Preserve are favorite birding locations near Salem.  He also leads GGOwl trips to Ashland area. \nHe writes occasional bird essays for Salem Reporter website. \nHarry has authored four natural history books: San Francisco’s Natural History: Sand Dunes to Streetcars; Great Gray Owls of CA-OR-WA; Freeway Birding\,  freewaybirding.com; and most recently Birding Harney County. \nHis bird blog: ecowise.wordpress.com\nHe also contributes to “Salem Turkey Tracker” group on Facebook. \nThe program will start at 6pm. Feel free to come early for dinner and a beverage. There is typically a nice group there by 5:00pm or so.  And Worthy Brewing offers a nice Happy Hour Menu from 3-6pm.

SUMMARY:Birders' Night: Tracking Lewis’s Woodpecker Migration Using Motus Technology with Kaly Adkins
DESCRIPTION:Birders’ Night: Tracking Lewis’s Woodpecker Migration Using Motus Technology with Kaly Adkins \nCome learn about how wildlife biologists from the state\, a variety of NGOs and Cal Poly Humboldt have collaborated to learn about migratory pathways of Lewis’s Woodpeckers throughout the PNW using Motus wildlife tracking technology. This technology can be expanded to a variety of small-bodied wildlife and is helping to unravel the mystery of migration for many of these species. Kaly Adkins is a Regional Wildlife Diversity Biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in Bend that specializes in species of greatest conservation need east of the crest of the Cascades in Oregon. \nIf you want to learn more about MOTUS towers before the Birders’ Night\, you can listen to a podcast that Kaly did with Northwest Nature Matters on this topic. Here is the link to the podcast episode: http://nwnaturematters.libsyn.com/motus-a-collaborative-research-network-tracking-wildlife-movement \nThe program will start at 6pm. Feel free to come early for dinner and a beverage.
