SUMMARY:Warbler Warm-up  via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Some of the prettiest birds on the planet are in NE Ohio from April through October. 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.

SUMMARY:Terminal Velocity  Third Thursday Series (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Terminal Velocity: The Saga of the Falcons and the Tower  \nThe Peregrine Falcon is the fastest bird in the world\, capable of spectacular dives in pursuit of their prey\, reaching speeds of 200+ mph! They are a majestic\, awe-inspiring and cosmopolitan species that seems to epitomize evolutionary perfection. And yet by the late 1960s\, they had been extirpated from their range in most of the U.S. and the world. Then a critically endangered species restricted to the cliffs of distant wilderness areas and devastated by pesticides\, they have staged a remarkable recovery\, moving into the canyons of our cities! This illustrated program will explore the thousand-year-old relationship between Peregrines and people and chronicle their transformation from birds of wild places to urban dwellers. The program will focus on the story of the falcons that came to dwell at the Terminal Tower in downtown Cleveland. Presented by Harvey Webster. \nYou must register in advance for this meeting using this link: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwtce6qqTMtHdJ1oYHy_8T0bdqqEwDKplRv   \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
