SUMMARY:Confusing Fall Warblers  via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Many of our ‘Summer Birds’ molt before starting the long journey to their winter territories in Central and South America.  Some of them look quite different in their ‘basic plumage’ while others look surprisingly similar.  The young-of-the-year can also be confusing\, often appearing like adult females.  This talk will explore some of the differences with clues for recognizing birds that you might mistake for new species.  Presented by Matt Valencic. About 1-hour in length.   \nRegister in advance for this meeting. \nWhen: Sep 18\, 2025 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nHttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/ifaqfYaCTQWEghyNhx4wzQ  \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

SUMMARY:Gardening for a Concert  via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:From bird songs in the spring and summer to an evening chorus of\ncrickets and katydids in late summer into fall\, we can invite and\nwelcome nature’s chorus into our yards and gardens. A large park may\nhave a full-sized orchestra\, but the intimacy of a chamber ensemble\nsinging close to our homes is also very rewarding. If we know what\nthe performers need to create their music\, we can begin to provide a\nsetting in which they will thrive. \nLisa Rainsong holds a Doctor of Musical Arts in Composition from\nthe Cleveland Institute of Music and is a member of CIM’s music\ntheory faculty. A soprano as well as a teacher and composer\, she also\nearned a Naturalist Certificate from the Cleveland Museum of Natural\nHistory\, where her study focused on field experience. She now teaches\nbirdsong\, amphibian song\, and insect song classes across the state\nand does field recording of bird songs and insect songs. In addition\,\nshe does field research on crickets and katydids – research work that\nis done primarily by ear. Her recordings and photos can be found on her\nblog\, Listening in Nature at http://listeninginnature.blogspot.com \nTo join the Zoom presentation please visit\nwww.natureinmybackyard.clevelandaudubon.org/programs

SUMMARY:A conversation with...  via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:A Conversation with Ginger Woolridge and Harvey Webster \nGinger and Harvey will engage in a wide-ranging conversation about native trees and shrubs and their importance\, sustainability\, conservation at home and how to support native biodiversity in your yards and communities. You won’t want to miss it.\nGinger Woolridge is an author\, speaker and landscape consultant with a long-held focus on the health of our environment. In 2018\, she and Tony Dove\, a retired Smithsonian Institution horticulturist\, published Essential Native Trees and Shrubs for the Eastern United States. The book provides a useful guide to many of the native woody plants that support our diminishing insect and bird populations.\nMs. Woolridge earned a BS in Landscape Architecture from the Penn State University and an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. She is a Master Naturalist and served for 10 years on the board of a Maryland-based Smart Growth Advocacy group. A current focus is the protection of native flora\, especially our canopy trees. These plants are threatened by out of balance deer populations and an epidemic of invasive plants\, some of which continue to be sold in garden centers. To this end\, in 2023\, she cofounded the Annapolis based non-profit\, Save Our Trees. www.saveourtreestogether.org Through action\, education and advocacy\, the group helps our city\, county\, communities and individuals save our woodlands from fatal vine infestations. \nNature in my Backyard is a program of the Audubon Society of Greater Cleveland\, the Shaker Lakes Garden Club and the Master Gardeners of Cuyahoga County.\nTo join the Zoom presentation please visit\nwww.natureinmybackyard.clevelandaudubon.org/programs

SUMMARY:Sparrows & Finches of NE Ohio  via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Due to an unexpected scheduling conflict\, this program has been changed to: “LBJs: Sparrows & Finches of NE Ohio.” \nLittle Brown Jobs!  That’s how many of us identify sparrows and finches\, mostly because they are LBJs!  But each of the 28 species we find in NE Ohio has one or more features to help lead to its identity.  Through lots of photographs this program introduces you to these small birds\, where to find them\, when to expect to see them\, and how to separate them from similar species. It’s time to put a name to the face!  About 1-hour. Presented by Matt Valencic. \nRegister in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIof-2vqjMvHdCOTdNohYmMrHl767MgbzgW \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

SUMMARY:Winter Sowing  via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Winter sowing is a germination method starting seeds outdoors in an enclosed container in winter. Sowing native seeds in January is a fantastic way to kickstart your spring garden! Winter sowing offers the unique advantage of giving your plants a head start\, allowing them to grow and develop faster than those sown in the spring. By planting seeds in an enclosed container\, you can place them outdoors where they will benefit from a cozy micro-environment that helps accelerate both germination and growth. This seed sowing presentation will provide you with the knowledge and techniques needed to sow seeds effectively and successfully. Presented by the Natural Resources team at the Nature Center of Shaker Lakes.\nJoin the Zoom Presentation:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/82474073716?pwd=\n1BaaewMtQK51WQukXhzTsTfCqvcjbZ.1\nMeeting ID: 824 7407 3716\nPasscode: 671486 \nNature in My Backyard is a program of the\nAudubon Society of Greater Cleveland and the Shaker Lakes Garden Club. \n

SUMMARY:Where do they go?  via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand! Zoom in to hear Dave Tomashefski speak:\nWhere Do They Go? \nWe love to watch pollinators visiting our flowers\, but as the growing season ends\, we may wonder about the pollinators’ lives away from the flowers. Where do they go to find shelter\, and how can we modify our gardens to give these insects a home? This presentation explores the garden as though it were a city of pollinators with habitat features that we\, the gardeners\, can provide. Special emphasis will be given to winter shelter.\nDave Tomashefski\, the Director of Education for Meadow City Native Plant Nursery\, will speak on the importance of leaving the leaves\, to the lives of butterflies\, bees and moths – and so much more! By treating fall leaves and stems gently\, we can improve the overwintering success of the pollinators we work so hard to attract. \nJoin the Zoom Presentation\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/81271573092?pwd=PZ4PHwedQuZ5juF9avFBz57lLSvHQb.1\nMeeting ID: 812 7157 3092\nPasscode: 030261

SUMMARY:Brown Bagging It  via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Let’s get this done….The worst invasives and how to put an end to them. \nMatt Valencic has always appreciated habitat. As a hunter and fisherman in his youth\, he knew where to look for game based on the animal’s needs at that time of year. After studying Forest Biology and Botany in college\, he learned how to enhance animal populations by managing the habitat. Upon retirement he attended Master Gardener training and learned a great deal more about plants and insects. Today he is helping manage habitat in the sanctuaries of the Audubon Society of Greater Cleveland where he and other volunteers battle invasive plants that compete with natives\, all this in the name of increasing biodiversity. \nToday he will share some of the methods used in that battle. Sometimes they dig … sometimes they cut and treat stumps … and sometimes the only solution is chemical. He is going to share when each is appropriate and why. \nTo join the Zoom presentation:\nhttps://us04web.zoom.us/j/71706567628?pwd=s5CRDU1BRcWB6TQE3bo0tC8vn7fcTb.1\nMeeting ID: 816 1167 4725\nPasscode: 911542
