SUMMARY:A Virtual Field Trip in the Nisqually River Watershed
DESCRIPTION:by Jeff Antonelis-Lapp \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDid you know that the Nisqually River\, originating on the slopes of Mount Rainier and emptying into Puget Sound\, is a national model for watershed preservation and protection? Climb aboard the virtual charter bus and join Jeff Antonelis-Lapp\, Emeritus Faculty at The Evergreen State College\, for A Virtual Field Trip in the Nisqually Watershed\, an image-rich talk from Tahoma and Its People\, his natural history of Mount Rainier National Park. \n\n\n\nThe trip begins with the original inhabitants\, the Squalli-Absch\, “The People of the River\, the People of the Grass.” We then travel the length of the watershed from the Nisqually River’s origin at the terminus of the glacier to its runout into Puget Sound at Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. The talk focuses on some of the watershed’s 78 river miles of natural history stories and some of its groundbreaking restoration projects (including the refuge’s dike removal in 2009). \n\n\n\nAfter graduating from Huxley College (B.S. Environmental Education\, 1978)\, Jeff Antonelis-Lapp worked two summers at Mount Rainier National Park\, igniting a connection to the mountain that endures today. He has summited the mountain\, hiked all of its mapped trails\, and completed the 93-mile Wonderland Trail five times. \n\n\n\nMeeting Location\n\n\n\nWe are planning on an in-person meeting at the church\, and possibly a hybrid meeting so that you can also view using Zoom.  This will be a first for us so please be patient. \n\n\n\nGeorge Galvin is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \n\n\n\nTopic: Sept. 19 Membership MeetingTime: Sep 19\, 2022 06:30 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada) \n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meetinghttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/84650521940?pwd=WXh1Uk5qQytKVlpOTGNBeVE3bkVrdz09 \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 846 5052 1940Passcode: 434302One tap mobile+12532158782\,\,84650521940#\,\,\,\,*434302# US (Tacoma)+13462487799\,\,84650521940#\,\,\,\,*434302# US (Houston)

SUMMARY:On the Frontlines of Extinction: Saving the Rarest Hummingbirds
DESCRIPTION:Found only in the Americas\, hummingbirds surprise and delight us — yet many of these feisty birds are on the verge of disappearing forever\, including 39 that are globally threatened. Habitat loss is the biggest threat they face – particularly loss of forests and mountain shrublands. \n\n\n\nJoin our upcoming webinar on August 31 for a trip across our reserve network\, with stops in Brazil and Ecuador.You’ll learn about some of the rarest hummingbirds and what we’re doing do save them (and other species). \n\n\n\nABC and its partners are determined to prevent these extinctions by restoring and protecting habitat. Through a network of reserves across Latin America and the Caribbean\, we’re helping to protect 241 hummingbird species across more than 1.1 million acres. \n\n\n\nSpeakers on the webinar will include: \n\n\n\nAmy Upgren\, Director of Alliance for Zero Extinction and Key Biodiversity Areas Programs\, American Bird Conservancy;Bárbara Cavalcante\, Northeast Atlantic Forest Project Coordinator\, SAVE Brasil;José León\, Research Coordinator\, Fundación Jocotoco.\n\n\n\nWHAT: On the Frontlines of Extinction: Saving the Rarest Hummingbirds \n\n\n\nWHEN: Thursday\, August 31 at 6:00 PM EDT \n\n\n\nWHERE: Zoom (link provided upon registration) \n\n\n\nI hope you join us!

SUMMARY:Birdwatching Talk with Mike Lanzone at Leica Store Bellevue
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Leica Store Bellevue on Friday\, August 26th at 7:00 pm for the discussion\, “Connecting Networks\, Wings & Wildlife For Conservation” with wildlife researcher\, Mike Lanzone. The evening will feature an in-depth conversation that focuses on the Internet of Wildlife- connecting technology and wildlife to answer the big conservation questions of today and tomorrow. \n\n\n\nMr. Lanzone will discuss how connectivity in our everyday lives is something we all have gotten used to\, both consciously and subconsciously. Whether it’s the watch on your wrist uploading data to the web and then providing you analyses on your phone\, or your phone triggering a connected device in your home when you cross an invisible geofence\, we use connected networks every day. Until now wildlife tracking devices have been designed to work within a single platform (GSM\, ARGOS\, etc.)\, where every device communicates directly with a specific network. The Internet of Wildlife (IoW) leverages each organism in the network to intelligently collect and send information from one organism to the next allowing researchers to collect biological data never before possible. For example\, with IoW small passerines transfer data to turtles\, otters to gulls\, whales to albatrosses; bigger animals can transmit to the internet and/or satellites so that the entire multi-species data stream ultimately reaches the researcher. This kind of intelligent data mesh network enables remote tracking of the smallest organisms. The IoW mesh network leverages existing network infrastructure\, thereby reducing the need to deploy costlier infrastructure specific to certain types of wildlife tag\, e.g.\, ICARUS. The CTT IoW will revolutionize how animal movement data are collected and how researchers and wildlife work together to answer big questions and ultimately help conserve species world-wide. \n\n\n\nAbout Speaker\, Michael Lanzone \n\n\n\nMichael Lanzone is the CEO of Cellular Tracking Technologies\, a company that develops high-end animal tracking devices for studies conducted across the globe.

SUMMARY:Harney County Migratory Bird Festival
DESCRIPTION:Spend an amazing weekend witnessing the spectacular spring migration in the Harney Basin of Southeast Oregon. View thousands of migratory birds as they rest and feed in the open spaces of Oregon’s high desert. Held annually in April in Harney County. \n\n\n\nThe Harney County Migratory Bird Festival was first held in 1981 ​to celebrate the large annual migration of birds passing through Harney Basin on the Pacific Flyway. Harney Basin is one of the three most important areas left in the western United States for spring migratory birds stopping on their way north. \n\n\n\nOver 300 species of birds use the refuge throughout each year\, making Harney Basin a bird watcher’s paradise. Today\, we continue to celebrate the migratory birds’ return each year with guided tours led by experts\, workshops\, and fun activities for both youth and adults.
