SUMMARY:Global Big Day/World Migratory Bird Day
DESCRIPTION:Two annual events that celebrate birds occur this year on Saturday\, May 10\, and you can participate.  Global Big Day brings together people who care about birds and contribute to the effort to understand how bird populations are faring worldwide. Every year the number of participants increases. Last year a new world record was set when more than 63\,000 people entered checklists of the birds they saw on Global Big Day.  \nAdding to this important dataset is easy.  Simply list the bird species and numbers of each that you see in any location and enter your data on ebird.org. You may count for as little as ten minutes anytime between midnight and midnight on the 10th to participate. Count birds at your home or submit a list from your favorite location to watch birds. Every bird counts.  If you are new to ebird\, visit ebird.org to learn how to set up an account.  \nAlso occurring on Saturday the 10th is World Migratory Bird Day. The goal of this global effort is to raise the awareness of migratory birds and the need for international cooperation to conserve them.  Migratory birds rely on good habitat at their winter homes\, along the paths of their spring and fall journeys\, and in their summer breeding areas to survive.  They may travel through several countries each year. \nThe theme of this year’s Migratory Bird Day is Shared Spaces. The day is dedicated to creating bird friendly cities and communities.  Urban development and other human activities pose survival challenges to birds and other wildlife who share the earth with us. In addition to urging area officials and developers to utilize bird-friendly practices in new planning\, there are simple actions that you can take to protect birds.  Among them are; treating glass to prevent bird strikes\, planting native plants in your home space\, keeping cats indoors\, providing clean water\, eliminating pesticide use\, and keeping skies dark at night.  \nMigratory birds like western tanagers\, black-headed grosbeaks\, broad-tailed and black-throated hummingbirds\, chipping sparrows\, green-tailed towhees\, Virginia’s warblers and others are arriving now to spend the summer in our area.  You can take action to ensure that they find a refuge in your shared space.

SUMMARY:May Chapter Meeting/Birding by Ear
DESCRIPTION:In the last couple of weeks\, many of our summer songbirds have returned to brighten our lives with their colorful plumage and cheerful songs. Western tanagers\, black-headed grosbeaks\, house wrens\, yellow warblers\,  yellow-rumped warblers and others\, all announcing ‘I am here’. It’s time to renew our training in matching birds with their songs and calls.\nBirding by ear to identify bird species is an important skill used by volunteers in our Forest Bird Monitoring Project\, set to start soon. Oftentimes\, knowing a song is the only way to count a bird hiding in the brush.  At our May meeting\, Audubon Rockies Community Naturalist\, Keith Bruno\, will help us with some tricks to learn the songs of birds that inhabit our forests. \nThe public is invited to join us for our meeting on Wednesday\, May 21\, at the Community United Methodist Church on Lewis St.  We will gather at 6 PM for socializing  and the meeting will start at 6:30.  Please enter through the side door off the parking lot or let us know to open the main door for handicap entry.  In appreciation for our meeting space\, we welcome donations of non-perishable food for the church food bank.  For those unable to join us in person\, use the following link to join on Zoom. \nTime: May 21\, 2025 05:30 PM Mountain Time (US and Canada)\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://audubon.zoom.us/j/99660105046?pwd=vgitpaWlrPH18oorxCfYgj7eiaHacL.1\n\nMeeting ID: 996 6010 5046\nPasscode: 491384\n\n—\n\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,99660105046#\,\,\,\,*491384# US (San Jose)\n+12532158782\,\,99660105046#\,\,\,\,*491384# US (Tacoma)\n  \n
