SUMMARY:August Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce a presentation by Deb Callahan\, Board President of The Friends of the San Luis Valley National Wildlife Refuges\, at our August meeting on Wednesday\, August 18 at 6:30 PM.  The Friends of the San Luis Valley National Wildlife Refuges formed in 1999 as an independent nonprofit organization.  \nMany of us make a yearly spring trip to Monte Vista to view the spectacular assemblage of sandhill cranes who stop to fuel up on their northern migration.  The Friends\, along with the Refuge staff\, the Monte Vista Chamber\, Rio Grande County\, and the City of Monte Vista\, plan and operate the annual Monte Vista Crane Festival which brings thousands of visitors from all over the world to the refuges. To date\, the Friends have contributed to the building of the Meadow Lark Trail on the Monte Vista NWR\, the Discovery Room at the Alamosa NWR\, many years of Kid’s Crane Festivals\, and Fishing days (alas\, fish disease and drought has stopped this activity). They also assist the refuge with the yearly Friends and Neighbors Picnic that brings the neighbors of the refuge up to date on the refuge happenings. Friends members worked hard to advocate for the establishment of the Baca NWR in 2005.  In 2021 the Friends received a $15\,000 grant to improve a critical parking area on the Monte Vista Refuge\, wildlife camera installation\, and an educational kiosk.  \n  \n Callahan  received her bachelor’s degree and  master’s in earth sciences from the University of Northern Colorado. Her master’s thesis was funded by the U.S. Geological Survey in Idaho’s Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness.  Later\, she combined her mapping\, spatial abilities\, and computer skills to learn GIS (Geographic Information Systems) working for the Bureau of Reclamation in Denver. She was fortunate to be involved in several projects involving the recovery of endangered species in New Mexico and throughout the west.  She has  now retired in Monte Vista and still loves camping\, hiking\, and skiing in the west. Taught by her parents the importance of public service\, she has served on the boards of the Evergreen Parks and Recreation Board\, The Evergreen Naturalists Audubon Society (10 years of Breeding Bird Surveys)\,  Wild Connections (roadless area mapping and preservation)\, and now the Friends of the San Luis Valley National Wildlife Refuges.\nUse the following link to join the meeting on Zoom.  Please note: If you experience a problem joining the meeting directly with this link\, copy the address and paste it into your browser. \nTopic: August Chapter Meeting\nTime: Aug 18\, 2021 06:30 PM Mountain Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/86855961712?pwd=d3VHbEtsaGtxSmlpTTRDUlFXYkpvUT09 \nMeeting ID: 868 5596 1712\nPasscode: 787110\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,86855961712#\,\,\,\,*787110# US (San Jose)\n+12532158782\,\,86855961712#\,\,\,\,*787110# US (Tacoma) \nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 929 436 2866 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\nMeeting ID: 868 5596 1712\nPasscode: 787110\nFind your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kHswp830K

SUMMARY:July Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Water\, always an important topic in our area\, will be the focus of this month’s meeting\, on Wednesday\, July 21 at 6:30 PM on Zoom. We will learn about the work of the Upper San Juan Watershed Enhancement Partnership\, a local organization working to address the management of this precious resource. Al Pfister\, on behalf of the Upper San Juan Watershed Enhancement Partnership (WEP) will be presenting the results of data collected in Phase II of the WEP’s assessment of the environmental\, recreational\, and agricultural infrastructure needs in the Upper San Juan River. The WEP’s data collection is a part of the implementation of the Colorado Water Plan of 2015 in the development of a Stream Management Plan/Integrated Watershed Management Plan. The WEP’s data collection efforts were done to assess local environmental\, recreational\, and agricultural infrastructure needs in the face of a warming and drying climate. \nPfister is a semi-retired fish and wildlife biologist who has worked in 7 western US states dealing with endangered species issues trying to find a balance between conserving imperiled fish\, wildlife\, plants\, herptiles\, and invertebrates\, while still allowing the various uses (development\, recreation\, grazing\, timber harvest\, energy development\,etc) to coexist.  In addition to his work with WEP\, he serves on the board of the Geothermal Greenhouse Partnership\, and on the board of the San Juan Water Conservancy District.  He is a past board member of the Weminuche Audubon Society.\nAudubon meetings are open to the public.  Use the following link to join the meeting. \nTopic: July Chapter MeetingTime: Jul 21\, 2021 06:30 PM Mountain Time (US and Canada)Join Zoom Meetinghttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/81287270778?pwd=K3oyZ3hWcTRkWUpIRDRkUWpMVTU4UT09Meeting ID: 812 8727 0778Passcode: 008685One tap mobile+12532158782\,\,81287270778#\,\,\,\,*008685# US (Tacoma)+13462487799\,\,81287270778#\,\,\,\,*008685# US (Houston)Dial by your location        +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)        +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)        +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)        +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)        +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)        +1 929 436 2866 US (New York)Meeting ID: 812 8727 0778Passcode: 008685Find your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kcn1K0Man7

SUMMARY:Native Plant Garden Ribbon Cutting
DESCRIPTION:Native Plant Garden in Centennial Park\nOn June 23\, at 11 AM\, we will be hosting a ribbon cutting at our garden near the domes.  Thanks to the efforts of our volunteers who have assisted with plantings and maintenance\, the plants are flourishing and the garden is a showcase for the value of landscaping with plants that provide food for birds and other pollinator species.\nAt this time\, we will be dedicating the garden to the memory of  Terry Hershey.

SUMMARY:May Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Learning to identify birds by their songs and calls will be the topic of the next Weminuche Audubon Chapter meeting\, on Wednesday\, May 19 at 6:30 PM.  Keith Bruno\, Audubon Rockies Community Naturalist and Weminuche Board Member\, will lead us in this exercise of seeing with our ears.  With mating season and the arrival of our summer birds\, the air is filled with birdsong.  Some birds we haven’t heard for several months.\nDistinguishing a bird by its unique sound is a fun challenge. Bruno will provide tips for picking apart the song we hear and aligning it with the bird singing it.  Learn about the technology available to teach yourself this skill.\nChapter members are getting ready to begin our third season of surveying bird populations in areas of the San Juan National Forest.  This citizen science project is designed to study the effects of different fire prevention practices employed by the USFS on bird populations. A link to reports and youtube videos on our study may be found under the Projects tab\, Bird Community Monitoring\, on our website\, www.weminucheaudubon.org.            Identifying birds by their songs is an important skill in recording birds that are difficult to see hidden in the canopy or the brush in the forest\, and will add to your enjoyment of the birds at your home.  All interested parties are invited to join us at our meeting on Zoom.  Use the following link to join the meeting.Time: May 19\, 2021 06:30 PM Mountain Time (US and Canada)Join Zoom Meetinghttps://zoom.us/j/96682817997?pwd=OTA3QUNNWW91amJCdXV3MVY0Z1FtZz09Meeting ID: 966 8281 7997Passcode: 593478One tap mobile+12532158782\,\,96682817997#\,\,\,\,*593478# US (Tacoma)+13462487799\,\,96682817997#\,\,\,\,*593478# US (Houston)Dial by your location        +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)        +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)        +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)        +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)        +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)        +1 929 436 2866 US (New York)Meeting ID: 966 8281 7997Passcode: 593478Find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/afn5Dln1
