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 URL:https://clevelandaudubon.org/event/where-do-they-go-via-zoom/ CATEGORIES:Backyard Naturalist,Education ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://clevelandaudubon.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Common-Eastern-Bumblebee-on-Rattlesnake-Master-plant-e1670433408110.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241009T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241009T130000 DTSTAMP:20260424T231731 CREATED:20240926T143412Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240926T143603Z UID:12608-1728475200-1728478800@clevelandaudubon.org 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 URL:https://clevelandaudubon.org/event/brown-bagging-it-via-zoom/ CATEGORIES:Backyard Naturalist ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://clevelandaudubon.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Matt-Valencic..jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240727T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240727T160000 DTSTAMP:20260424T231731 CREATED:20240422T160701Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240422T160701Z UID:12453-1722092400-1722096000@clevelandaudubon.org SUMMARY:Summer Birds of NE Ohio Event DESCRIPTION:Did you know that more than 50 species of birds travel hundreds\, even thousands\, of miles each spring just to raise a family in NE Ohio?

Most just pass through during May on their way north\, but some stay here to have their babies. Because we only see them for a short time every year we forget how to quickly identify them. This presentation uses actual photographs to help group birds by appearance AND preferred habitat. See all the warblers with eye rings on one slide. Learn about behaviors like tail wagging\, skulking on the ground and walking along branches to help narrow down choices. You will learn to appreciate trilling\, buzzy and high-pitched songs to narrow down birds you hear but can’t see. We even send you home with a list of mnemonics like zay zay zay zoo zee (Black-throated Green Warbler). Approximately 1 – 1 ½ hours in length. \nPresented by Matt Valencic and Kelly Stanek \nRegister in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUqcuGvrjIqHdwMUNsoMB-tTPsL7qS-qyFT \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

Third Thursday Series (via Zoom) DESCRIPTION:Going for the gold! 30 years of Prothonotary Warbler Husbandry \nFor 30 years\, Dan Best has been providing artificial nest cavities to increase nesting success of Prothonotary Warblers (aka\, Golden Swamp Warbler) on the Upper Cuyahoga River in Geauga County.  Join us as Dan reports on nesting success and the many lessons learned about competition from other species\, predation and flood loss avoidance.  For the last 11 years Rachel McKinney\, a Science\, Math and Environmental Education teacher\, has assisted him with the many facets of the project\, including installing the cavities in spring\, banding adult and hatchling birds in summer\, data collection and removing cavities in fall. \nRegister in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYvdO-opzkvGteDT4YG4dGdq4mN2oPysIq-   \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
