SUMMARY:Florida Scrub Jay Walk
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a short walk as you witness the behavior of these endemic birds. \n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nThrough a partnership with Johnathan Dickinson State Park\, we are promoting their Florida Scrub Jay Walk. \n\n\n\nThe Florida scrub jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) is one of the species of scrub jay native to North America. It is the only species of bird endemic to the U.S. state of Florida and one of only 15 species endemic to the continental United States. \n\n\n\nThere is no water or restrooms right there\, and the walk can get hot quickly – even in January. The path is a well-documented spot where scrub jays have congregated for years\, and the federally-threatened birds are seen on most outings but not assured – they are wild animals. Any lightning close enough to hear thunder will cause immediate cancellation of the tour. Your guide\, Jim Howe\, will also accentuate the Florida scrub ecosystem itself and why fire is essential\, while pointing out gopher tortoise burrows and unique plants found only at JDSP. \n\n\n\nWalk meets less than 1/4 mile from the park entrance\, along the road to the Pine Grove Campground. We will take a once well-paved road\, that is now for foot and bicycle traffic only. The walk is between 1/4 and 1/2 mile in length\, on gently rolling\, open scrub terrain. \n\n\n\nFrom the check in station\, take a left turn less than 1/4 mile from the park entrance. There will be a parking lot on the right-hand side.  \n\n\n\nYou will see an information sign Camp Murphy Off Road Bridge trail.  \n\n\n\nEntrance Fee is $ 6.00 per vehicle.  \n\n\n\nI would appreciate anyone that completes this walk to share their eBird list with me at Paula@ Auduboneverglades.org. Thank you.  \n\n\n\nRestrooms are located at the following locations: (bear Right from entrance) \n\n\n\nThe bicycling staging area at the Railroad Track Crossing. (porta-potty)  \n\n\n\nThe Visitors Center at the back of the property\, about 4 miles in.  \n\n\n\nThis is a monthly event\, the first Wednesday of the month.

SUMMARY:The Big Sit at Green Cay
DESCRIPTION:Come join us at Green Cay Nature Center and Wetlands on Saturday\, Oct. 8 to enjoy a day of birding and nature as part of Audubon Everglades resurrection of our annual Big Sit! Event. You can stop by and join the fun anytime between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the gazebo on the north/west side of the boardwalk. This is usually done while sitting\, visiting with fellow birders and relaxing! It’s a cool way to see how the bird activity changes throughout the day. The Gazebo will provide some relief from the sun\, and we will have water if you bring a refillable drinking container. \n\n\n\nThis is an accessible area for people with disabilities and is ideal for families. We will have extra binoculars available for both children and adults. There is enough room for approximately 10 people to comfortably be in the Gazebo at any given time. \n\n\n\nThe Big Sit! is an annual\, international\, non-competitive birding event sponsored by Birdwatchers Digest and founded by the New Haven (Connecticut) Bird Club. Some people have called it a “tailgate party for birders.” Within the gazebo\, we will create an imaginary circle 17 feet in diameter and count all the bird species we see or hear from the circle from 8am to 2pm. That’s it. Find a spot\, sit in it\, have fun. Then we will submit our findings. \n\n\n\nParticipants are allowed to come and go from the circle—especially for the purpose of bringing food or water back into the circle. There are Big Sit! circles all over the world\, including Guatemala\, India\, the Netherlands\, England\, Vietnam\, and New Zealand. \n\n\n\nPlease email me at scott@auduboneverglades and let me when you might be coming and approximately how long you plan to stay.

SUMMARY:The Big Sit! at Peaceful Waters
DESCRIPTION:The Big Sit! was founded in 1992 by fun-loving members of the New Haven (Connecticut) Bird Club. In the early years\, The Big Sit! was held annually on the second Sunday in October. Because some Big Sit! participants were unable to Sit on Sundays\, The Big Sit! now includes the Saturday before the second Sunday.  \n\n\n\nThe Big Sit! is like a Big Day or a Bird-a-thon. Individuals or teams find as many species as possible in 24 hours. There is one critical difference – all observations must be made from within a circle no more than 17-foot diameter circle. \n\n\n\nJoin Linda McCandless & Al Pelligrinelli as they do they do The Big Sit under the pavilion from 7:30 am – 1130 am

SUMMARY:Florida Scrub Jay Walk
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a short walk as you witness the behavior of these endemic birds. \n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nThrough a partnership with Johnathan Dickinson State Park\, we are promoting their Florida Scrub Jay Walk. \n\n\n\nThe Florida scrub jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) is one of the species of scrub jay native to North America. It is the only species of bird endemic to the U.S. state of Florida and one of only 15 species endemic to the continental United States. \n\n\n\nThere is no water or restrooms right there\, and the walk can get hot quickly – even in January. The path is a well-documented spot where scrub jays have congregated for years\, and the federally-threatened birds are seen on most outings but not assured – they are wild animals. Any lightning close enough to hear thunder will cause immediate cancellation of the tour. Your guide\, Jim Howe\, will also accentuate the Florida scrub ecosystem itself and why fire is essential\, while pointing out gopher tortoise burrows and unique plants found only at JDSP. \n\n\n\nWalk meets less than 1/4 mile from the park entrance\, along the road to the Pine Grove Campground. We will take a once well-paved road\, that is now for foot and bicycle traffic only. The walk is between 1/4 and 1/2 mile in length\, on gently rolling\, open scrub terrain. \n\n\n\nFrom the check in station\, take a left turn less than 1/4 mile from the park entrance. There will be a parking lot on the right-hand side.  \n\n\n\nYou will see an information sign Camp Murphy Off Road Bridge trail.  \n\n\n\nEntrance Fee is $ 6.00 per vehicle.  \n\n\n\nI would appreciate anyone that completes this walk to share their eBird list with me at Paula@ Auduboneverglades.org. Thank you.  \n\n\n\nRestrooms are located at the following locations: (bear Right from entrance) \n\n\n\nThe bicycling staging area at the Railroad Track Crossing. (porta-potty)  \n\n\n\nThe Visitors Center at the back of the property\, about 4 miles in.  \n\n\n\nThis is a monthly event\, the first Wednesday of the month.

SUMMARY:Audubon Everglades Fall  Pelagic Tour
DESCRIPTION:Audubon Everglades is excited to announce the return of our very popular program\, Pelagic Tour! Get your sea legs on and come join us! \n\n\n\nA pelagic birding trip is done by traveling by boat offshore to view seabirds that rarely come ashore except to breed. Seabird (pelagic) species include tropical terns\, shearwaters\, jaegers\, gannets and others. Come take a journey with Pelagic birding experts\, Michael Brothers\, Mitchell Harris\, Larry Manfredi\, & Dan Scolaro.  \n\n\n\nTHE DETAILS \n\n\n\nSpace is limited — 40 person maximum. People who are current Audubon Everglades and NAS members will have priority to register. If spaces are not filled\, it will be open to the public to register.  Registration link and details will be sent to the Member’s email. Keep an eye out\, spaces fill up fast! \n\n\n\nCost: $105 per person. This includes the boat trip\, tip for boat crew\, pelagic leaders\, snacks\, water and fun. For people unfamiliar with the cost of other pelagic trips\, this is a phenomenal value! \n\n\n\nThis is a 5 hour Pelagic Trip with Guides Michael Brothers\, Mitchell Harris\, Larry Manfredi and Dan Scolaro on board.  \n\n\n\nWe are so excited to have all these wonderful Pelagic bird guides in one place and have them share their knowledge and expertise to our Audubon Everglades audience. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMeet our Pelagic tour leaders: \n\n\n\nMichael Brothers –  Retired as Director of the Marine Science Center in Ponce Inlet\, Michael has been leading pelagic birding expeditions off Florida and Georgia for nearly 20 years and natural history tours throughout Florida\, the Galapagos Islands\, Kenya\, and the Amazon. He is a member of the Florida Ornithological Society Records Committee and is the Florida regional editor of the journal North American Birds.  \n\n\n\nMitchell Harris (Florida Ornithological Society) – Mitchell has been interested in Natural History and all things out-of-doors from his earliest memories as a small child growing up in Vero Beach Fl. He took up birding fifteen years ago\, and is now an avid birder that is most interested in pelagic type birds but enjoys anything that flies. His spark bird might have been a white morph Gyrfalcon that he saw many years ago\, just north of the Brooks Range on the North Slope of Alaska. \n\n\n\nLarry Manfredi – Many birders might remember his name for the Western Spindalis that showed up in his yard between January 3rd and February 26\, 1992. More than 400 people came to see that amazing vagrant. Realizing the number of people that share his interest\, He decided to start guiding professionally. He contributed to the book titled “A Birder’s Guide To Florida” by Bill Pranty. He wrote the chapter on Homestead and helped with the sections on Miami\, the Florida Keys\, and Everglades National Park. He co-authored “A Birder’s Guide To Metropolitan Areas of North America” by Paul Lehman and sold by American Birding Association.

SUMMARY:Whooping Cranes Are Still Whooping
DESCRIPTION:The Remarkable Recovery of the Whooping Crane. \n\n\n\n\n\nGeorge Archibald\, Ph.D.  \n\n\n\nCo-Founder of the International Crane Foundation   \n\n\n\nFrom a low of 15 birds in 1941\, the Whooping Cranes is recovering and now numbers about 500. I will tell the story of these the tallest of birds in North America and conclude with an account of efforts to establish new populations of Whooping Cranes in Wisconsin and Louisiana by releasing captive reared cranes back into the wild.In 1973\, when cranes were in a perilous situation and many were on the brink of extinction\, George Archibald\, along with fellow graduate student Ron Sauey\, established the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo\, Wisconsin as the world center for the study and preservation of cranes. His dream was to save the world’s cranes and that notion has been his driving force ever since. Dr. Archibald’s visionary leadership in international conservation over the last fifty years has given flight to extraordinary grassroots recovery efforts across the globe.  \n\n\n\nDr. Archibald established the International Crane Foundation with little more than youthful enthusiasm and exceptional talent. Early on\, he pioneered innovative breeding techniques that allowed many rare crane species to reproduce in captivity for the first time. He forged scientific exchanges and field conservation programs in the 1970s with Chinese and Russian biologists in an era when it was a rare occurrence for a western scientist. Under his leadership\, the International Crane Foundation grew into a highly respected organization\, successfully promoting crane and habitat conservation around the world.   \n\n\n\nGeorge Archibald is renowned for his energy\, optimism\, and for stimulating new ways of thinking about seemingly intractable problems. He leverages the charisma of cranes to unite people from diverse cultures and backgrounds to work together to solve problems facing our fragile planet. He has recruited\, inspired\, and mentored countless individuals worldwide in the name of cranes. By focusing on the magic of cranes\, people eagerly engage in the protection and restoration of entire ecosystems.  \n\n\n\nBorn in New Glasgow\, Nova Scotia\, Canada\, Dr. Archibald received his undergraduate degree from Dalhousie University in Halifax\, Nova Scotia\, and completed his Ph.D. at Cornell University. In recognition of his many accomplishments\, he has received four honorary doctorates and many awards including the Gold Medal from the World Wildlife Fund\, a Fellows Award from the MacArthur Foundation\, the Wildlife Conservation Medal from the Zoological Society of San Diego\, the Lilly Medal from the Indianapolis Zoo\, and the Douglas H. Pimlott Award from Nature Canada. In 2013\, Dr. Archibald was awarded the Order of Canada on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II\, and received the inaugural Dan W. Lufkin Prize for Environmental Leadership from the National Audubon Society.   \n\n\n\nDr. Archibald recently completed the book\, My Life with Cranes: A Collection of Stories. He and his wife\, Kyoko\, live in the countryside in Wisconsin where they enjoy gardening and aviculture.

SUMMARY:Dr.  Nate Dorn: Droughts\, Floods\, and Wading Bird Nesting in the Everglades
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Nathan Dorn\, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences\, Florida International University  \n\n\n\nAbout the Presentation  \n\n\n\nThe Everglades\, our slow-moving river of grass\, is home to the largest wading bird breeding population in North America. Many spring seasons its coastal mangroves\, sawgrass marshes\, and pine flatwoods are dripping with the whites\, pinks\, and blues of the hundreds of thousands of nesting wading birds that are emblematic of South Florida. But why have the breeding numbers for these waders been so fluid from year to year?  Find out from Dr. Dorn what effects wetland water levels are having on the food webs and nesting conditions of these colorful and elegant birds.   \n\n\n\nAbout Dr. Nathan Dorm  \n\n\n\nDr. Nathan Dorn is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Florida International University.  He is also part of the FIU Institute of Environment where he leads a large lab of students\, post docs and technicians studying wetland ecology.  He received his PhD from Michigan State University in 2003 and has been studying the ecology of the Florida Everglades and adjacent wetlands for more than 19 years.  He is probably best known for his work studying the ecology of freshwater crayfish and food webs\, but his work is diverse and includes examinations of the diets of nesting wading birds. He has also been a contributor to the Annual South Florida Wading Bird Report. “I am a freshwater community ecologist\, and I am particularly interested in the ecological significance of predation and hydrologic variation for population regulation\, trophic dynamics\, and patterns of coexistence in freshwater ecosystems\,” Dr. Dorn said. His research is funded by both federal and state agencies tasked with restoration and management of the Everglades.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAvf-GgrjkpE9CrVObNYsYkk_6XkDzxVEfu

DESCRIPTION:RECOVERING THE RED-COCKADED WOODPECKER  \n\n\n\n“Fires\, cavity management\, and assisted dispersal: A successful strategy for recovering the Red-Cockaded Woodpecker.”  \n\n\n\nDr. Reed Bowman\, Research Program Director\, Avian Ecology\, Archbold Biological Station  \n\n\n\nAbout the Presentation    While Archbold Biological Station’s Avian Ecology Program may be best known for its research of the Florida Scrub-Jay (You may remember Dr. Bowman’s excellent presentation on the Scrub-jay to AE in April 2019.)\, the Station also has an extensive history of working with the Red-cockaded Woodpecker. a bird whose survival is inextricably linked to Longleaf Pine forests. Unfortunately\, these Southeast forests have been reduced to less than 3% of their original size due to timber harvesting\, agriculture\, and development\, which has resulted in a dramatic decline in Red-cockaded Woodpecker populations and the federal listing of the species as Endangered in 1970.  \n\n\n\nFor more than 25 years\, Archbold staff\, under the leadership of Dr. Bowman\, have closely monitored the management of the Red-cockaded Woodpecker at the Avon Park Air Force Range. Dr. Bowman’s presentation will share the Station’s research and show how management efforts have been critical in helping this species rally from the brink of extinction.   \n\n\n\nAbout Dr. Reed Bowman  \n\n\n\nDr. Reed Bowman is the John W. Fitzpatrick Director of the Avian Ecology Program at Archbold Biological Station in south-central Florida\, one of the oldest and most celebrated not-for-profit biological research stations in the US. He holds graduate degrees in wildlife and biology from McGill University and the University of South Florida. Over the last 40 years he has studied the ecology\, demography\, and conservation of several threatened and endangered birds\, including the American Kestrel\, Common Raven\, White-crowned Pigeon\, Red-cockaded Woodpecker\, Florida Grasshopper Sparrow\, and the Florida Scrub-Jay. His primary research focuses on the comparative demography\, ecology\, and evolution of Florida Scrub-Jays in a variety of different landscapes\, using long-term data on marked populations. The study of scrub-jays at Archbold overseen by Dr. Bowman is the longest-running study of marked birds in North America\, now entering its 52nd consecutive year. In addition to his work in avian ecology\, another of Dr. Bowman’s interests is in the many effects\, both local and worldwide\, of urbanization on birds. He is an author on more than 100 scientific papers and book chapters\, the editor of two books\, including the acclaimed Avian Ecology and Conservation in an Urbanizing World and co-author of the second edition of Florida Bird Species. He has made more than 150 public presentations about science\, ecology\, and conservation of Florida birds. He is a Fellow of the American Ornithologists’ Union\, past President of both the Association of Field Ornithologists and the Florida Ornithological Society. He is currently the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Field Ornithology. In 2018\, he received the Wilson Ornithological Society’s Margaret Morse Nice Award for lifetime contributions to ornithology and in 2021 Audubon’s Guy Bradley Award for “his relentless commitment to conserving Florida’s wildlife.”  For over 30 years he has been deeply involved in conservation\, both locally and nationally. He is a graduate faculty member at the University of South Florida and the University of Central Florida and has been the major advisor of two Ph.D. students and 11 Master’s students. Dr. Bowman is also an avid landscape and nature photographer\, using his images to further education and conservation of our endangered landscapes.
