SUMMARY:Great Backyard Birdcount
DESCRIPTION:Weminuche Audubon invites you to celebrate the beauty of birds with us in February events. First up is the Great Backyard Bird Count\, four days in February when the world comes together for the love of birds\, a global event organized by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\, National Audubon Society and Birds Canada.  Beginning on Friday\, February 14\, and extending through Monday\, February 17\, you can participate by counting birds for as little as 15 minutes or for as long as you like wherever you are and then entering your observations on ebird.org. It’s just that easy.  Enter as many or as few checklists of your observations as you like at different locations or times during the 4 days of the count \nDocumenting bird populations across the globe before one of their annual migrations  helps scientists understand how bird populations are faring.  For more information on the count see birdcount.org.

SUMMARY:Birding for the Great Backyard Birdcount
DESCRIPTION:Weather permitting\, we invite you to join us during the count to look for birds on the Riverwalk on Sunday\, February 16. The weather outlook for Saturday does not look good and we are hoping for better conditions on Sunday. We will tally our count and add it to the Great Backyard Birdcount. Bring your binoculars and meet at the native plant garden near the GGP domes in Centennial Park at 8:30 AM.  This is a family friendly event\, but please leave dogs at home. We plan to walk to the end of the section past Apache St but you can leave early if you want.

SUMMARY:February Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, February 19\, join us in sharing good news stories about two bird species that have come Back from the Brink in North America. First up\, videographer Darryl Saffer will present his beautiful short film on the limpkin and other wetland waders.  The film has already won 6 international awards. Up until not many years ago this bird of wetlands and swamps was only seen in the US in central and southern Florida. According to an article in National Audubon magazine\, in 2023 limpkins started showing up as far north as Canada and west as Colorado. Find out what has fueled this range and population explosion of a bird which not too long ago was considered for threatened status in Florida.  Throw your hat in the ring to see who will be the first to spot a limpkin in Archuleta County.\nHerb Grover will show his photos of another comeback bird\, the whooping crane\, taken during a recent trip to Texas. Whoopers are one of the success stories of wildlife conservation as they were down to about 20 birds in the mid-1940’s.  Recovery has been somewhat slow\, but would probably not have occurred without human intervention.\nAnd to get you thinking about the annual Crane Festival in Monte Vista\, we will end the meeting with some of Herb Grover’s beautiful photos of sandhill cranes.  Take a trip over the hill to Monte Vista for the festival events between March 7 and 9 and be wowed by the thousands of cranes and other birds that stop at the National Wildlife Refuge before heading off to northern breeding grounds.\nWe meet at the Community United Methodist Church on Lewis St.  Enter through the side door closest to the parking lot or let us know to open the main doors for handicap entry.  Enjoy appetizers and snacks with us starting at 6 PM.  If you are inclined\, bring a creation of yours to share. Presentations will follow a short business meeting at 6:30 .\nIn appreciation for our meeting space\, contributions of non-perishable food for the church food bank are collected at our meetings.  If you are unable to join us in person\, use this link to join on Zoom. \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/85427553781?pwd=q5FyR7tG76NxIwN80PPP4lRcbU1cyw.1 \nMeeting ID: 854 2755 3781\nPasscode: 297730\nOne tap mobile\n+17193594580\,\,85427553781#\,\,\,\,*297730# US\n+16699006833\,\,85427553781#\,\,\,\,*297730# US (San Jose)\nDial by your location\n• +1 719 359 4580 US\n• +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n• +1 253 205 0468 US\n• +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n• +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n• +1 669 444 9171 US\n• +1 309 205 3325 US\n• +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n• +1 360 209 5623 US\n• +1 386 347 5053 US\n• +1 507 473 4847 US\n• +1 564 217 2000 US\n• +1 646 931 3860 US\n• +1 689 278 1000 US\n• +1 929 205 6099 US (New York)\n• +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n• +1 305 224 1968 US \nMeeting ID: 854 2755 3781\nPasscode: 297730
