SUMMARY:Light Pollution & Terrestrial Wildlife: Research Into Practice
DESCRIPTION:Learn how light pollution affects wildlife.\n\n\nThe past 20 years have seen an explosion of research into the adverse effects of light at night on wildlife.  In this presentation\, I will describe and categorize those effects and how they affect species and ecosystems\, ranging from the disruption of circadian rhythms for birds to fragmentation of landscapes for puma.  Then I will review the different means by which such impacts can be reduced\, including shielding\, reduction in intensity\, and the synergistic benefits of adjusting spectrum to avoid the most disruptive colors of light.   \nAbout the Presenter: \nTravis Longcore grew up under the Northern Lights of Eastern Maine. He went to the University of Delaware\, followed by UCLA\, where he earned and M.A. and Ph.D. in Geography. He is now Adjunct Professor and Co-Chair of the Environmental Science and Engineering Program at the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability. His landmark article “Ecological Light Pollution” (Longcore and Rich 2004) and 2006 co-edited book Ecological Consequences of Artificial Night Lighting (Island Press) have come to define a rapidly growing research area in ecology. In 2022\, he received the Galileo Award from the International Dark-Sky Association “in recognition of outstanding achievements in research or academic work on light pollution over a multiple-year period.” He is also the President of the Los Angeles Audubon Society. \n \nNew Paper: A Compendium of Photopigments and Visual Spectral Response Curves \n \nLEDs and Terrestrial Wildlife \n  \nhttps://www.ioes.ucla.edu/person/travis-longcore/

SUMMARY:Purple Haze: A Conservation Film
DESCRIPTION:Join us for “Purple Haze: A Conservation Film” – Viewing of the film and discussion about our beloved Purple Martins!\n\n\nJOIN US AS WE CELEBRATE PURPLE MARTIN AWARENESS MONTH IN PALM BEACH COUNTY \nAfter millions of years of evolution\, treacherous migrations\, and forming a unique relationship with humans\, North America’s largest swallow species\, the Purple Martin\, has managed to become almost completely dependent on man-made nesting structures to nest and rear their young. Captain Zach Steinhauser has taken it upon himself\, after spending years guiding folks to North America’s largest Purple Martin roost\, to chase these birds across their range to understand exactly how this species put themselves in this position and discover a lost culture of bird-loving enthusiasts across the Purple Martin’s range. Zach’s journey takes him across the western hemisphere from the Great Lakes to the Amazon Rainforest all the way to the Sonoran Desert making unexpected connections at every turn. \nAfter the film\, Audubon Everglades Purple Martin Conservation Coordinator Shelly Rozenberg will be available to answer any questions. Donations to the event help support Audubon Everglades Purple Martin Program and conservation of the Purple Martin.   Refreshments will be served. \nFor more information please contact Shelly RozenbergShelly@auduboneverglades.org@thepurplemartinqueen

Working full time for the Florida Park Service for several years\, running two Florida Big Years and countless Big Days\, and extensive county listing\, as well as several environmental consulting jobs have led to an extensive knowledge of Florida’s amazing biodiversity. These days\, he continues to work on environmental consulting jobs as well as speaking\, leading trips at festivals\, and conducting private guided tours where he will share this knowledge with anyone who will listen. \n\n\n\nLuis “Beto” Matheus has always been interested in nature and wildlife. Even as a kid growing up in Venezuela\, he always kept a copy of “A Guide to the Birds of Venezuela” by Rodolphe Meyer de Schauensee and William H. Phelps (1978)\, the first bird field guide for any Latin American country\, within reach. Yet he only became a “serious birder” around 2006 when he joined his father on a birding trip with Venezuela’s Audubon Conservation Society to Yacambú National Park\, at the northernmost edge of the eastern Andes. After seeing a male Golden-winged Manakin (Masius chrysopterus) take off in front of him in the cloud forest\, he went home\, bought a pair of binoculars and was hopelessly hooked.he turned into a fully-fledged bird nerd. Beto has been actively birding ever since\, often with his birding parents\, serving as a voluntary eBird reviewer for Venezuela since 2008 and joining several Audubon chapters as he moves around for work. A civil engineer working in renewable energy development\, Beto has lived in Mexico (Mexico City and Pachuca)\, Colorado (Boulder) and\, now Florida (Boca Raton) with his wife and two teenage kids. \n\n\n\nDirections: \nAddress: Bill Bird Marina\, 10800 Collins Ave\, Miami Beach\, FL 33154 \nFor those traveling from Palm Beach area\, please allow ample time for driving\, it is a highly congested area.

We’ll supply snacks and drinks. If you have specific dietary requirements or allergies\, we recommend bringing your own provisions. \nIt is usually breezy on the water. Dress a little warmer or wear layers. It is better to be layered with clothes that you can remove than to be cold and not have a jacket or sweatshirt to ease a chill. It can also get wet. \nWear close-toed shoes with a good rubber deck-gripping sole to prevent slipping or sliding as the boat deck is normally wet. \nBring sunscreen or a large hat as you will be on the water for eight hours. \nThis boat will venture 10 miles out to sea\, we recommend that you take appropriate measures if you’re prone to seasickness.If prone to seasickness\, look into over the counter medications\, and choose the nondrowsy varieties ( Bonine). The main prevention is to get lots of rest the night before! Also avoid alcohol and spicy food prior to trip. Eat something bland for breakfast (i.e. toast) so your stomach is not totally empty; keeping something in your stomach goes a long way to minimizing the effects of seasickness. Consider ginger products. We will provide Ginger Ale\, water\, ginger candy\, and also pretzels on board. \n \n***eBird List: We will maintain a shared eBird list to document our sightings.***\n \nWHAT NOT TO BRINGAerial dronesPetsSpotting ScopesTripodsWeapons
