SUMMARY:Amphibian Event February/March 2025
DESCRIPTION:Date: To Be Determined February/March 2025 \nTime: After 7:00 PM \nLocation: East Fork State Park Camping Area Parking Lot. \nJoin the Audubon Society of Ohio (Cincinnati) and the Greater Cincinnati Herpetological Society for a night out searching East Fork State Park for salamanders\, frogs and anything else we can find. \nIf the conditions are right we can expect to see various salamanders including Spotted\, Jefferson’s\, Streamside\, Two-lined\, Eastern Newts and others that come out on warm rainy nights in late February and March looking for places to breed and lay eggs. While the salamanders are on the move we can also expect to find Spring Peepers\, Western Chorus Frogs\, Wood Frogs\, American Toads and others that are also breeding and laying eggs. Warm is a relative term with nights 40F or above fitting the bill and a steady rain is required. Salamanders and frogs are utilizing the vernal pools created by the rains to lay their eggs. We can also expect to see egg masses left by salamanders in the vernal pools. \nIt is very difficult to predict when conditions will be right for amphibians to move so we are going to try something different this year. Anyone interested in attending this event will need to email me (Bill Stanley tyrannus58@gmail.com) your name and email address. When it appears that the conditions are going be right I will send an email out notifying the group that we will be meeting at East Fork. I will try to do this on a Friday or Saturday night so more can attend\, but this event is driven by weather and I might not be able to choose a weekend night. \nDress for the weather! It will be raining and cold. Bring a flashlight and extra batteries. This trip requires a lot of walking at a slow pace. The complete route is will be about 5 miles. If the distance is to far you are welcome to do a portion of the walk. \nTo make this event a success and continue to do it in the future we need to put the WELFARE OF THE ANIMALS FIRST. The salamanders and frogs are small\, slow and we look for them on wet roads in the dark making it difficult to see them. We have to take care not to step on them. These are wild animals and though they are easy to catch they should not be handled. We will not be picking up these animals\, but if it is necessary to handle them then clean rubber gloves should be used or hand sanitizer should be used before and after handling an animal. Various diseases and fungi can be transferred from one animal to another through improper handling. \nThis will be an exciting night out and you will observe things that not many people get to see so sign up and come out to get a unique view of the world of some of our local salamanders and frogs. \nBill Stanley \ntyrannus58@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Spring Grove Cemetery With Denis Conover
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Winter or First Signs of Spring Botanical & Bird Walk \nLocation: Spring Grove Cemetery \nDate: Sunday\, February 23\, 2025 \nMeet: 10:00 A.M. at Spring Grove Cemetery\, along the road just beyond the tunnel from the main entrance on Spring Grove Avenue \nLeader: Denis Conover\, (513) 390-0863\, conovedg@hotmail.com \nWill this late February field trip to Spring Grove Cemetery give us a winter landscape or will it give us the first signs of early spring. Regardless\, our regular Spring Grove leader\, Denis Conover\, will focus on whatever nature brings us. Snow will not cancel this field trip. Severe winter weather of course would cancel the trip. If you are unsure at the time\, don’t hesitate to contact Denis. Denis has become our designated ASO field trip leader for our monthly field trip to Spring Grove Cemetery. He is a UC biology professor an ASO Board Member and an expert botanist and naturalist. And he loves Spring Grove and knows it as well as anyone. \nAs always Denis will take us on a walk and point out the diverse botanical community and seasonal birds found at Spring Grove Cemetery. Denis will identify the tremendous diversity of trees\, shrubs\, and other plants that can be found here and expound on their ecology. He will also point out our native flora\, invasive species\, and ornamental plantings as well as show us some of the champion trees found here. Denis has interests in all aspects of natural history and he will be sure to point out the birds and other fauna we are sure to see. So come along and join Denis to see the beautiful grounds of the cemetery on what should be a beautiful winter or early spring (your guess is as good as mine) morning walk and gain some tips and insight into plant identification and their natural history as well as winter resident bird species.  \nParticipants should be prepared for a few hours of steady walking\, most of which will be relatively flat and on pavement\, but there will also be some walking off pavement on trails or in damp grass or snow. This will be a three to four hour walk but you can always end your walk whenever you like. Denis is always willing to stay later if anyone wants to go longer. We suggest wearing good waterproof footwear and dress for cold temperatures. Binoculars are not necessary to see plants but are recommended if you have them\, or want to see birds clearly. Restrooms are available at the cemetery office. \nDirections: The Spring Grove Cemetery main entrance is located on Spring Grove Avenue just west of the Winton Road intersection. To find our meeting spot\, drive in through the main entrance gates and go straight. You will go through a short tunnel. Just beyond the tunnel pull over and park on the right side of the road. \nSpring Grove Cemetery website: \nhttps://www.springgrove.org/locations/spring-grove-cemetery-arboretum/ \nSpring Grove Cemetery Map: \nhttps://assets.takeshape.io/af54a46e-9d1d-4a13-84ea-ea820654ba30/dev/5d7beeda-d7d3-4c82-966c-d22f93ebe751/2023_Visitor%20Map_current%20champion%20trees%20(2).pdf \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)
