Audubon Society of Greater Cleveland invites you to our
Saturday Afternoon Backyard Naturalist Series
Forest Fragmentation and What Small Woodlot Owners Can Do To Help
Jason Van Houten, Urban Forester, Ohio Division of Forestry

How fragmentation and parcelization is changing our woodland habitats, how these changes may impact birds that rely on woodland habitats, and what small woodlot owners in a fragmented landscape can do to help improve woodland habitat for bird species. Jason Van Houten has worked as a Rural Urban Interface Forester for Ohio Division of Forestry since 2012 and previously worked with Ohio Division of Forestry as an Emerald Ash Borer Forester.

Field Outing - Waterfowl Wander
2015-03-28 09:30 - 14:00 | OH
The drakes are decked out in their finest plumage and the hens are sizing them up. Some have made pair bonds others are in the process of mate selection so their competition is on. Join us on a caravan type tour of some of the ponds and lakes in southern Geauga and northern Portage County. Let’s see how many species are resting and refueling in our area on their journey north to the nesting grounds. Meet at the Ladue Reservoir boat ramp at the end of East Washington Street (see map) near Auburn Center with a full tank of gas and money for lunch at the end of our tour.

LECTURE PROGRAM
More Perils and Pitfalls of Birding
Wednesday, April 1, 2015, 7:30 PM
Bill Thompson III, Editor, Birdwatcher’s Digest

Bill has been birding for four decades during which he has had some unusual experiences, met some unusual people, and learned a great many lessons (the hard way) about birding and human nature. He’s been on the editorial team of Bird Watcher’s Digest since May of 1988, and during that time has watched birds in 49 U.S. states (still missing Hawaii) and more than 30 countries. He is the president and a founding board member of The Ohio Ornithological Society, and also serves on the board of directors for the Roger Tory Peterson Institute. He is devoted to introducing kids to nature and birding. If you don’t laugh at least once during this talk, Bill will clean the binoculars of everyone present. At the Cleveland Museum of Natural History

Great Backyard Bird Count
Aurora Audubon Sanctuary
The Great Backyard Bird Count is a 4 day, world-wide, event sponsored by the National Audubon Society, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Bird Studies Canada where participants count birds in an area for at least 15 minutes or for as long as they wish and submit it on line to birdcount.org. You may count right out your kitchen window or join us for our winter bird survey where we do a 2 mile hike counting every bird we see or hear. The more eyes and ears the better! Meet at the parking lot on the north side of Pioneer trail a few hundred yards east of Page Road in Aurora.
