SUMMARY:We Count! Raptor Migration Monitoring in the Americas
DESCRIPTION:Julie Brown \nJulie will speak about the Hawk Migration Association’s work and the continental network of hawkwatching sites\, why collecting spring and fall migration data is important and what we’ve learned about raptor movements and populations. She’ll dive into migration data from across the continent and what it’s showing us about the health of raptor populations. \n  \nJulie Brown is the Raptor Migration and Programs Director at the Hawk Migration Association. Before joining HMANA in 2009\, she migrated throughout the US and tropics working as a field biologist primarily with raptors\, focusing on human impact studies\, migration research and behavioral studies. She received her BS in Wildlife Ecology from the University of Maine and received her MS in Conservation Biology from Antioch University New England where she studied Peregrine Falcon migration in Costa Rica for her thesis. She lives in New Hampshire with her husband\, whom she met hawkwatching\, and her two bird-loving children\, a flock of chickens\, her dog and lots of fruit trees. She is a volunteer counter at the Pack Monadnock Raptor Migration Observatory each fall. \n  \n\n \n  \nZoom Link to Meeting \nNote: This meeting will be held in person at the meeting house and via Zoom. Zoom signon will start at 7:15 to enable the meeting to begin at 7:30.

SUMMARY:The Utilization of Autonomous Recording Devices (ARU's) at The Great Marsh in Chester County
DESCRIPTION:Mike Coulter \nSince 2019\, the Great Marsh Institute has been utilizing Autonomous Recording Units (ARUs) for the purpose of detecting and monitoring bird species within The Great Marsh in Chester County. ARU’s are useful in remote locations and for targeting rare species. Raw field data is analyzed through a multi-step process which then shows the distribution and relative density of various species. This long-term research allows the tracking of trends which inform future conservation decisions. In this program\, avian researcher Mike Coulter of the Great Marsh Institute will describe the purpose and process of this study and the results obtained to date. \n  \nMike Coulter\, a lifelong Chester County resident\, has been birding the county for over 30 years and has focused his efforts on The Great Marsh for the past 13 years in an effort to better understand the bird species present at this unique 700 acre+ habitat. As a member of GMI’s Science Advisory Board\, he has been instrumental in developing strategies for habitat improvement. \n  \nZoom Link to Meeting \n  \nNote: This meeting will be held in person at the meeting house and via Zoom. Zoom signon will start at 7:15 to enable the meeting to begin at 7:30. \n
