SUMMARY:Bringing Specimens to Life Through Stories of Inspiration and Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exclusive behind the scenes “virtual tour” of the Cornell University Museum of Vertebrates with Curator Vanya Rohrer!\n\n\nNatural history collections fuel scientific discovery. They are the corner stones upon which knowledge about species are built. They allow detailed examination of traits and genes to understand the rich and continuously unfolding evolutionary history of life on earth. They offer glimpses into how populations and species respond to natural and human-caused environmental changes and\, in so doing\, help guide conservation efforts. Despite these benefits and services\, many people view collections as outdated relics of the past. of natural history collections. During this live virtual walkthrough\, Vanya Rowher will highlight some of ways that Cornell’s Ornithological collection is being used\, with the hopes that attendees gain a better appreciation for the value and uses of natural history collections. \nAbout the Presenter \nVanya Rohwer is the Curator of the Bird and Mammal Collection at the Cornell University Museum of Vertebrates. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest\, he marked the seasons by the arrival and departure of migratory birds and the flowering and senescence of plants. Vanya is a firm believer that spending time outside leads to new observations\, new ideas\, and creative ways of thinking about natural systems. For graduate work\, he studied nest building behaviors of birds and\, to this day\, can’t seem to stop marveling at bird nests. Vanya’s interest in natural history collections began as a child roaming the hallways of the ornithology collection at the Burke Museum in Seattle Washington\, where his father\, Sievert\, was the Curator of birds. Because of this\, Vanya grew up steeped in museum activities that ranged from adventures in the field to tending the colony of beetle used to prepare skeleton specimens. This upbringing has instilled in Vanya a deep appreciation of natural history collections and he is excited to try an exclusive “virtual tour” of the Cornell University Museum of Vertebrates for Audubon Everglades. \n \nLearn more here: \nhttps://www.cumv.cornell.edu/ \n\n\n\nA celebration of avian diversity.  \n\n\n\nVanya instilling in his daughter\, Nona\, a curiosity and love for nature.

SUMMARY:Oak Hammock Park
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Corey Callaghan as he leads us on a new birding adventure.\n\n\nJoin us for a new birding adventure at Oak Hammock Park\, a lush 11+ acre natural oasis nestled within the City of Sunrise. Guided by expert birder and scientist\, Dr. Corey Callaghan\, this unique park offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and educational exploration. Situated on the south side of NW 44th Street\, approximately 1\,500 feet west of Pine Island Road\, this park was acquired with funding from the Broward County Land Preservation Bond Program. There are meandering trails through the park’s diverse habitats\, including a canopy of centuries-old live oaks\, a pine forest\, and an ancient midden. The park features a porous paved walkway\, mulch trails\, and an elevated boardwalk that extends over the wetland section\, offering stunning views and opportunities for birdwatching. This is a new site for us\, and Dr. Corey will expertly lead the way through this area. \nEvent Details: \n\nMeeting Point: Use the address provided to meet in the parking lot. There are two entrances to the park\, so please ensure you use the correct address.\nRestrooms: Available on-site.\nAccessibility: Most of the park is accessible via sidewalks and boardwalks. There is a small portion with dirt and woodchips\, but it is close to the sidewalk and may be manageable with some assistance.\n\nImportant Notes: \n\nProhibited Items: Drones\, glass containers\, littering/dumping\, alcohol\, and illegal substances.\nRegistration Required: Advance registration is mandatory for participation\, and walk-ins cannot be accommodated.\nLimited Group Size: To ensure an intimate experience\, group size is limited.

Callaghan is an Assistant Professor of Global Ecology at the University of Florida\, where he leads the Global Ecology Research Group in the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation. His research focuses on understanding how species respond to human-induced changes in the environment. By adopting a multi-taxa approach\, Dr. Callaghan and his team integrate large datasets\, including those derived from citizen science and remotely-sensed products\, with advanced quantitative methods\, geospatial analyses\, and macroecological theory. This comprehensive approach allows them to uncover the processes and mechanisms that shape biodiversity in our rapidly changing world. For more information about his work\, visit his research page.
