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: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

SUMMARY:Birding by Ear with Audubon Rockies Keith Bruno
DESCRIPTION:Bird song can seem complicated. It is\, after all\, another language! However\, with some close examination\, one can quickly come to recognize several vocalizations and thus the presence of a bird species. In this free webinar\, we’ll not only listen to soundbite recordings\, but also look at visual representations of songs and calls\, allowing for various means of understanding. Spring is an active time for birdsong\, complete with songs aimed specifically at finding suitable mates. Let us help you de-code some of the magic! This event is designed for beginner-intermediate birders to open up the birding experience by analyzing songs and calls of familiar regional Rocky Mountain bird species. \nRegister

SUMMARY:April Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:In April we will be discussing our Bird Community Monitoring Project as we get ready for the third season of this study. Join us on Zoom to learn about the importance of this fun citizen science project. \nControlled burns\, thinning of tree stands and removal of the brush layer are some of the methods employed by the USFS to protect our forests and our homes from the devastation of wildfire.  Changes that people make to the forest structure affect the plants and animals that are adapted to live in these ecosystems\, leading members of the local Audubon chapter to wonder how bird populations responded to these manipulations. \nUnder the direction of chapter vice-president\, Herb Grover\, Weminuche Audubon designed a citizen science project in 2019. This project addresses the question; “What are the effects\, if any\, that forest thinning treatments or prescribed fire have on bird community composition and structure?”  With input from our partners in the project\, The San Juan Forest Health Partnership\, Mountain Studies Institute\, and the United States Forest Service\,  3 similar areas of Ponderosa Pine forest were chosen as survey plots.  The differences between them were in the type of fire prevention treatment which had been employed.  The plot on Turkey Springs has been subjected to controlled burns\, the one on Fawn Gulch to mastication of the brush layer and the one on Jackson Mountain to no treatment in recent time. \nVolunteer participants in the study went out in teams to survey pre-assigned points and count all the birds identified by sight or sound in 6 minutes at each point.  2020 was the second year of our study and we all had fun learning from each other and becoming better at bird identification. \nGrover will talk about the findings of the first 2 seasons of our study.  He has been a professor of biology\, ecology and environmental science classes for over 2 decades and continues to teach online classes for Wayland Baptist University. A man of many talents\, he has produced videos explaining the project which may be viewed on youtube by searching Grover Bird Community Monitoring.  He has also written two reports which may be read on our website under the Projects tab\, Bird Community Monitoring.  The chapter is indebted to him for the time and energy that he has put into this project. \nWe are seeking volunteers for the 2021 season which extends from late May into early July.  For a  time commitment of only 15 hours or less\, you can advance the goals of this study and join our dedicated group of participants. You need not be an expert birder.  What better way is there to spend your time than out in the woods listening to birdsong.  To add your name to our volunteer list or for more information\, email us at weminuche.audubon@gmail.com. \nFollowing is the link to join the meeting: \nTopic: April Chapter Meeting\nTime: Apr 21\, 2021 06:30 PM Mountain Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://zoom.us/j/98066384634?pwd=QTdwbURsQ2d0UjI4OGpua0pKVGludz09 \nMeeting ID: 980 6638 4634\nPasscode: 502640\nOne tap mobile\n+12532158782\,\,98066384634#\,\,\,\,*502640# US (Tacoma)\n+13462487799\,\,98066384634#\,\,\,\,*502640# US (Houston) \nDial by your location\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 929 436 2866 US (New York)\nMeeting ID: 980 6638 4634\nPasscode: 502640\nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/afCGhcIms

SUMMARY:Virtual Workshop on the Sagebrush Steppe for Educators
DESCRIPTION:Stretching across 13 western states and 2 Canadian provinces\, the sagebrush steppe is North America’s largest ecosystem. Sadly\, most Americans know little about this biologically rich landscape and the wonders found there. \nThis free virtual workshop is an opportunity for chapter leaders (classroom and informational educators) and community members who lead virtual or in-person outreach efforts to learn about lesson plans\, resources\, and activities that Audubon Rockies’ award-winning educators have created for the sagebrush ecosystem. \nIn this 2-hour webinar\, learn how these free resources can be incorporated into classrooms\, museums\, field trips\, camps\, and more. During the workshop\, we will work on developing individualized frameworks for engaging students in critical thinking about sagebrush ecosystems; provide dynamic tools and lesson plans for teachers; and build bridges between educators\, scientists\, and students.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Today
