SUMMARY:Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum With Denis Conover. Sunday\, August 24\, 2025 @ 10:00 A.M.
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Monthly Spring Grove Cemetery Nature Walk \nLocation: Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum \nDate: Sunday\, August 24\, 2025 \nMeet: At 10:00 A.M. at Spring Grove Cemetery. Park along the main road\, just beyond the tunnel from the main entrance on Spring Grove Avenue (see directions below). \nLeader: Denis Conover\, (513) 390-0863\, conovedg@hotmail.com \nSpring Grove Cemetery is one of Cincinnati’s most beautiful natural settings and its designation as an arboretum is well deserved. A tremendous diversity and number of native and ornamental plants can be found here. The focus of our monthly field trips here will be general nature walks that will focus on botany and birds and all other aspects of nature we come across.  \nOver the years our trip leader\, Denis Conover\, has become our go to guy when botany is the theme of our field trips and we are fortunate to have him share his knowledge with us. Denis is a professor in the department of Biological Sciences at the University of Cincinnati and has been involved in various types of botanical research since 1981. Denis is also a current board member of our local Audubon Society and also has a great interest in birds and will equally focus on them. \nDenis’s usual plan is to take us on a long but leisurely late morning walk through the cemetery observing plants\, birds and other wildlife. Each season offers its own diversity of migrant\, summer and winter resident species of birds and plants in varying stages of their annual cycle. Denis will point out native plants\, ornamental plantings\, invasive species\, shrubs and trees. Birds are usually abundant at Spring Grove and will also be pointed out.  \nOther than a short drive from here or there to move to a different part of the cemetery\, participants should be prepared for a few hours of being on foot and moderate walking. Much of the walking will be relatively flat and on pavement\, but there are a few low hills. In August we suggest wearing comfortable footwear and a hat\, insect repellent and sunscreen\, and plenty of water. Binoculars are necessary to see birds well. Restrooms are available at the cemetery office. If you have any questions feel free to contact Denis. \nDirections: The Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum main entrance is located at 4521 Spring Grove Avenue just west of the Winton Road intersection. To find our meeting spot\, drive in the Spring Grove Avenue main gates and go straight. You will go through a short tunnel (old RR archway). Just beyond the tunnel\, pull over and park alongside the road and look for Denis. \nSpring Grove Cemetery website: \nhttps://www.springgrove.org/locations/spring-grove-cemetery-arboretum/#hrs \nSpring Grove Cemetery Map: \n(Click on or cut and paste into your browser) \nhttps://assets.takeshape.io/af54a46e-9d1d-4a13-84ea-ea820654ba30/dev/66f7f564-13e7-4da3-9599-d5fc44c9d764/Spring%20Grove%20Cemetery%20and%20Arboretum%20Map.pdf \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger) \nThe Meeting Place can be found here: Spring Grove Cemetery

SUMMARY:Labor Day Birding. Shawnee Lookout Park and Lost Bridge With Ryan Jorgensen
DESCRIPTION:Fall Migration; Warblers & Shorebirds \nLocation: Shawnee Lookout Park and Lost Bridge \nMonday\, September 1st\, 2025 (Labor Day) @ 8:00 am \nMeet: At the Shawnee Lookout boat ramp upper parking lot. The upper parking lot is located directly across from the Shawnee Lookout Park entrance. (See directions below) \nLeader: Ryan Jorgensen\, (630) 333-2631\, jorgensen28ryan@gmail.com \n An excellent argument can be made that\, after May\, September is the next best birding month in our region\, at least in terms of the greatest number of species one could find in a given month. September represents the peak of fall migration for both song birds (especially warblers) and shorebirds. Numbers of other species such as early waterfowl\, long-legged waders\, tern’s\, raptors and others also migrate south during this month. Fall migration will be revving up on this date and finding a diversity of species will be the primary focus on this field trip. \nOur trip leader Ryan Jorgensen is a skilled birder and naturalist and an expert level herpetologist. Ryan is also a current ASO board member. Since our primary focus of this field trip is the fall migration of warblers and other songbirds\, Ryan will spend most of the morning at Shawnee Lookout. Shawnee Lookout is a great birding location and songbirds\, both resident and migrants are abundant here. Towards the end of the morning Ryan will lead us over to Lost Bridge\, which spans the Great Miami River. There should be a lot of exposed sandbars at this location which can attract a host of water birds\, including shorebirds. This is also the premier spot in Hamilton County to see Bald Eagles. Ryan found a large number of soft-shelled turtles at Lost Bridge recently and we may see a few of them. The nearby gravel pits may also hold some of these same species. If time permits Ryan might take a look at the Oxbow\, another great nearby birding location. \nThe diverse habitats of these excellent birding sites at this time of the year should yield a great diversity of species. Warblers and many other song birds should be abundant. Shorebirds\, herons & egrets\, terns\, and other water birds could be seen in nearby locations. Hawks\, including Osprey & Bald Eagles\, are all likely to be found during this morning trip.  \nThe plan is to bird until a little after noon. There will be quite a bit of walking on this trip\, but most of it will be generally easy and at a comfortable birding pace. Binoculars are necessary if you expect to see birds. Restrooms are available at Shawnee Lookout. A Hamilton County Park Motor Vehicle Permit is required at all Hamilton County Parks. Daily Motor Vehicle Permits can be purchased for $5 for Hamilton County residents and $8 for non-residents at park entrance booths ($10 & $16 annual). Please feel free to contact Ryan if you have any questions.  \nDirections to Shawnee Lookout Park: We will meet at the Shawnee Lookout boat ramps upper parking lot at 8:00 a.m. The upper parking lot is located directly across from the Shawnee Lookout Park entrance. Shawnee Lookout is located at 2008 Lawrenceburg Rd. North Bend\, Ohio. Take I-275 to the Kilby Road Exit # 21. Turn south on Kilby Road and go about 1 mile to the stop light at U.S. 50. Turn right onto US 50 and go about 2 miles to the stop light at Lawrenceburg Road and turn left. Follow Lawrenceburg Road to the stop sign at the end of the Great Miami Bridge (Lost Bridge)\, turn right and go about 1.5 miles to the park entrance which is on the left. The upper boat ramp parking lot where we will meet is on the right\, directly across from the Park entrance.  \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger) \nThe Meeting Place can be found here: Shawnee Lookout boat ramp upper parking lot

SUMMARY:East Fork State Park Saturday\, September 13\, 2025 with Bill Stanley
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Early Fall Migration \nLocation: East Fork State Park \nDate: Saturday\, September 13\, 2025 \nMeet: 8:00 A.M. at the South Swimming Beach Parking Lot (see the directions below) \nLeader: Bill Stanley\, (513) 324-2796\, tyrannus58@gmail.com \nCome out and join us for what should be a great day of birding. The focus of the trip will be early fall migrants. The migration patterns of many types of birds overlaps around this date. Many neo-tropical song birds (including many warblers) should be found. Water birds of several families should also be seen. Harsha Lake and its shorelines attract shorebirds\, long-legged waders\, terns\, gulls\, grebes and ducks all of which can be expected around this date. Hawks\, Osprey & Bald Eagles are also likely to be seen and Broad-winged Hawk and Sharp-shinned Hawk migration is just beginning around now. Also consider that East Fork has a well-deserved reputation for attracting rare species. For instance American Avocets have recently been seen at South Beach and a Neo-tropical Cormorant seems to have been present all summer and continues to be seen. \nOur trip leader\, Bill Stanley\, is a skilled and expert birder and an experienced naturalist. Bill is a long time ASO advocate and current board member. Many of you know Bill as he has led many field trips for ASO and several other local conservation organizations over the years. While East Fork State Park is a well-known birding destination in the Greater Cincinnati area\, few people know the area as well as Bill does. East Fork happens to be Bill’s “local patch” as he virtually lives right next door to this large 4\,870 acre State Park which is located in Clermont County\, Ohio. \nBill plans to begin our trip at the south beach which is probably the best spot to find a diversity of water birds. From there\, Bill will move to several other spots and habitats around the park. Bill is a well-rounded naturalist who\, aside from birds\, has a great interest in all aspects of nature and he will gladly share his knowledge on these topics. While we will drive to several spots around the park\, we will mostly be on foot. But the walking will be moderate and at a leisurely pace over mostly level trails and roadsides. Bill will probably stay at it until birding begins to tail off around noon. So come out and see a diversity of birds on what should be a beautiful early fall morning. Restrooms are available in the park. If you have any questions feel free to contact Bill. \nDirections: We will meet at the swimming beach parking lot located on the south side of East Fork State Park. We will meet at 8 AM on the far right side of the beach parking lot (when facing the lake); although at that time of day it shouldn’t be a problem finding our group. To get to the beach\, enter the park from the south side and follow the park signs to the beach. To get to the south side entrance to East Fork SP from I-275\, take exit # 65\, SR 125 (Beechmont Ave./Ohio Pike) and go east about 9 miles to the junction of Rt. 222. Turn left onto Bantam Rd. (opposite Rt. 222) and follow the signs to the park entrance. \nThe Meeting Place can be found here: East Fork State Park South Beach \nVisit the East Fork State Park website for a Park map and other info at: \nhttps://ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property/east-fork-state-park \nhttps://stateparks.com/east_fork_state_park_in_ohio.html \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)

SUMMARY:Odonata - The World of Dragon and Damselflies\, Near and Far
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, September 18\, 2025 \nTime: 7 pm \nLocation: Sharon Centre and Zoom \nSpeaker: Brian Wulker \nHave you ever been out birding and come across a flash of crimson or emerald across the sky\, only to find out it is no bird at all\, but a brilliantly colored dragonfly? Despite sharing the skies with our feathered friends\, dragon and damselflies have wildly different live cycles and behaviors than what we see in birds. To learn more about these aerial\, predatory insects\, please join us in learning from local dragonfly expert (and birder) Brian Wulker on Thursday\, September 18th at 7pm at the Sharon Centre. Brian will cover the life history\, behavior\, taxonomy\, and habitats of dragonflies broadly\, as well as focus on local species and places you can go to see them yourself! \nThe Meeting Place can be found here: Sharon Centre \nThis meeting is in person at Sharon Centre and on zoom as well. \nHere is the zoom invite for those who want to attend from home: \nPlease wait until 6:50 before clicking the link.  You will be admitted when the program is ready to begin. \nhttps://zoom.us/j/97031147863?pwd=xu0JYu8FXOLpvrxwLqMEkevHwOQZIK.1

SUMMARY:Songbird Migration At Mt Airy Forest With Jack Stenger
DESCRIPTION:Fall Songbird Migration \nLocation: Mt. Airy Forest \nDate: Sunday\, September 21\, 2025 \nMeet: At 7:30 A.M. At Mt. Airy Forest in the parking lot at Everybody’s Tree House on Trail Ridge Road (see directions below). \nLeader: Jack Stenger\, (513) 503-3389 jack@cardinallandconservancy.org \nFall songbird migration will still be underway on this morning walk and both\, residents and migrant songbirds should abound. Our trip leader will be Jack Stenger. Jack is an expert birder\, a skilled naturalist and a long time ASO advocate. He is also the Director of Conservation for the Cardinal Land Conservancy. His field skills\, particularly his recognition of bird calls and songs\, are off the charts. With Jack’s help we expect to find many species of warblers as well as many other songbirds including flycatchers\, vireos\, swallows\, thrushes\, tanagers\, sparrows\, grosbeaks\, and buntings among others. Hawks\, cuckoos\, hummingbirds and woodpeckers will be present and even Wild Turkeys are likely. \nMt. Airy Forest is a large City of Cincinnati Park that consists of 1\,459 acres of mostly woodlands that range from mature forest\, mixed conifer-deciduous woodlands\, pine groves\, woodland edges\, tree lined streams\, open park land and an arboretum. There are miles of hiking trails and roadsides\, making birding access easy. Mt. Airy also acts as a “migrant trap” during spring and fall\, as from the sky this large “island” of green stands out from the surrounding urban sea and thus attracts many birds.  \nJacks plan is to walk and bird around at least a few different sections of the park\, beginning at the well-marked and very obvious Everybody’s Tree House. Other than to move from one section of the park to another\, this trip will consist mostly of walking. Most of the area is relatively flat and walking will be at a leisurely birders pace. Restrooms are available in the park. If you expect to see birds binoculars are necessary. Water and comfortable shoes will make your walk more enjoyable. The trip will break up around noon. If you have any questions feel free to contact Jack. \nDirections: Mt. Airy Forest is located at 5083 Colerain Avenue. To get to our meeting spot from the Mt. Airy Forest Colerain entrance\, turn into the park onto Blue Spruce Road and immediately turn left onto Trail Ridge Road. Drive 4 tenths of a mile on Trail Ridge Road to the parking lot for the Everybody’s Tree House. \nVisit the Mt. Airy Forest website for further information. \nhttps://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/cincyparks/visit-a-park/find-a-parkfacility/mt-airy-forest/ \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)

SUMMARY:Monthly Spring Grove Cemetery Nature Walk With Denis Conover
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Monthly Spring Grove Cemetery Nature Walk \nLocation: Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum \nDate: Sunday\, October 12\, 2025 \nMeet: At 10:00 A.M. at Spring Grove Cemetery. Park along the main road\, just beyond the tunnel from the main entrance on Spring Grove Avenue (see directions below). \nLeader: Denis Conover\, (513) 390-0863\, conovedg@hotmail.com \nSpring Grove Cemetery is one of Cincinnati’s most beautiful natural settings and its designation as an arboretum is well deserved. A tremendous diversity and number of native and ornamental plants can be found here. The focus of our monthly field trips here will be general nature walks that will focus on botany and birds and all other aspects of nature we come across.  \nOver the years our trip leader\, Denis Conover\, has become our go to guy when botany is the theme of our field trips and we are fortunate to have him share his knowledge with us. Denis is a professor in the department of Biological Sciences at the University of Cincinnati and has been involved in various types of botanical research since 1981. Denis is also a current board member of our local Audubon Society and also has a great interest in birds and will equally focus on them. \nDenis’s usual plan is to take us on a long but leisurely late morning walk through the cemetery observing plants\, birds and other wildlife. Each season offers its own diversity of migrant\, summer and winter resident species of birds and plants in varying stages of their annual cycle. Denis will point out native plants\, ornamental plantings\, invasive species\, shrubs and trees. Birds are usually abundant at Spring Grove and will also be pointed out.  \nOther than a short drive from here or there to move to a different part of the cemetery\, participants should be prepared for a few hours of being on foot and moderate walking. Much of the walking will be relatively flat and on pavement\, but there are a few low hills. In August we suggest wearing comfortable footwear and a hat\, insect repellent and sunscreen\, and plenty of water. Binoculars are necessary to see birds well. Restrooms are available at the cemetery office. If you have any questions feel free to contact Denis. \nDirections: The Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum main entrance is located at 4521 Spring Grove Avenue just west of the Winton Road intersection. To find our meeting spot\, drive in the Spring Grove Avenue main gates and go straight. You will go through a short tunnel (old RR archway). Just beyond the tunnel\, pull over and park alongside the road and look for Denis. \nSpring Grove Cemetery website: \nhttps://www.springgrove.org/locations/spring-grove-cemetery-arboretum/#hrs \nSpring Grove Cemetery Map: \n(Click on or cut and paste into your browser) \nhttps://assets.takeshape.io/af54a46e-9d1d-4a13-84ea-ea820654ba30/dev/66f7f564-13e7-4da3-9599-d5fc44c9d764/Spring%20Grove%20Cemetery%20and%20Arboretum%20Map.pdf \nThe Meeting Place can be found here: Spring Grove Cemetery  \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)

SUMMARY:A Journey of Discovery Among Endangered Birds With Sophie A. H. Osborn
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, October 16\, 2025 \nTime: 7 pm \nLocation: Sharon Centre and Zoom \nSpeaker: Sophie A. H. Osborn \nBirds are visible\, vocal sentinels that alert us to environmental harms through their declining numbers or their failure to thrive. In her book Feather Trails—A Journey of Discovery Among Endangered Birds\, Sophie Osborn shares her personal experiences reintroducing endangered Peregrine Falcons\, Hawaiian Crows\, and California Condors to the wild. While immersing readers in the triumphs and tribulations of being a wildlife biologist\, Sophie explores the threats that imperiled these birds\, and reveals that what harmed them threatens us\, too. She will discuss what led to the endangerment of these three captivating species\, recount the efforts of biologists to recover their populations\, and read a few excerpts from her book that describe what it was like to work with these magnificent birds. \nSophie A. H. Osborn is an award-winning environmental writer and wildlife biologist whose work has included the study and conservation of more than a dozen bird species in the Americas. She contributed to reintroduction efforts for several endangered birds and served as the field manager for the California Condor Recovery Program in Arizona for four years. Her first book\, Condors in Canyon Country\, won the 2007 National Outdoor Book Award for Nature and the Environment. Reviewers for the American Birding Association (ABA) chose her second book\, Feather Trails\, as their favorite bird book of 2024. Sophie has written articles for BirdWatching\, Wyoming Wildlife\, and Sojourns magazines. Her writings are also available on her website (https://www.wordsforbirds.net/) and her “Words for Birds” Substack blog. \n  \nThis Meeting is in person and Zoom. The Sophie is not local so she will present via Zoom which we can watch together on the big screen at Sharon Centre or you can watch from home. \nHere is the Zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/92439072826?pwd=SQxNEaqfy2NghfzrbNqlRs46XVuBlE.1       Participants will be admitted to the program starting around 6:50 pm \n

SUMMARY:2025 Audubon Society of Ohio Bird Course
DESCRIPTION:2025 ASO Bird Course \nThree Sunday Mornings\, 19th\, 26th & November 2nd\, 2025 \nHone your birding and identification skills by registering for the 36th annual Audubon Birding Course. Our local Cincinnati Audubon Society Chapter (ASO) has been sponsoring this class since 1987. The three-week course will be held on three consecutive Sunday mornings. This year’s dates are; October 19th\, October 26th and November 2nd. Father-son team Jay Stenger and Jack Stenger will again be this year’s instructors. Both Jay and Jack are well known and exceptionally knowledgeable birders. Jay has been an instructor for this course since its inception in 1987 and Jack for over 18 years. The course will be held at the Fernald Preserve Visitor Center. Fernald Preserve is located in northwestern Hamilton County. The entrance is located at 7400 Wiley Road\, about ¼ of a mile west of State Route 128. Follow the entrance road to the Visitor Center. You can visit the Fernald Preserve website for further information at https://www.energy.gov/lm/fernald-preserve-ohio-site \nEach class will begin at 8 AM with a casual class-room session that includes a continental breakfast. The classroom sessions will be followed by a field trip on the Preserves grounds or to a nearby local hot spot\, usually wrapping up about 1 PM. The field trip locations will be determined by current birding conditions and the interests of the participants. \nThrough discussions\, visual and audio presentations and field observations\, the course will particularly focus on sharpening identification skills. But the course will offer much more than that. When\, where and how to find birds in our area is also prioritized. Other course topics will include migration\, bird abundance and distribution\, habitat\, conservation\, local hotspots\, birding equipment and resources. The setting is informal and questions are encouraged. Jay and Jack also infuse a lot of fun\, levity and enthusiasm throughout.  \nThis course is geared towards all birding levels. While mid-level birders may gain the most from this course\, most birders\, beginners and experienced alike\, will find that this course will help hone their ID skills and add to their knowledge of local birds. Over 700 area birders have taken this course over the years and have found it entertaining and informative. The course is open to everyone\, including older kids if accompanied by an adult. Binoculars are required and a field guide will be useful to refer to in class and in the field. If you do not have a pair of binoculars\, the ASO can lend you a pair during the course. \nCourse fees are $20 for ASO members and $35 for non-members which include a $15 annual membership in ASO. The course will be limited to a maximum of 30 participants. To register and pay online use the following link \nhttps://cincinnatiaudubon.regfox.com/audubon-bird-class-2025 \n \n \nRegistration is limited to 30 participants. If the event is full\, email Jay Stenger at jaystenger1@gmail.com to be placed on a waiting list.

SUMMARY:Otto Armleder Memorial Park With Lisa Conner
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Mid Fall Bird Walk \nLocation: Otto Armleder Memorial Park \nDate: Saturday\, November 1st\, 2025 \nMeet: At 8:00 AM at the Main Pavilion Parking Lot at Armleder Park (See directions below) \nLeader: Lisa Conner\, (765) 337-4669\, lmconner14@gmail.com  \nArmleder Park in jointly managed by the Hamilton County Great Parks and the Cincinnati City Parks. This 305 acre park has developed an excellent birding reputation\, mostly due to its unique habitats. The park lies in a flood plain along the west bank of the Little Miami River\, about a mile north of its confluence with the Ohio River. The park is prone to flooding\, which can be good for water birds but difficult to access at those times. The park also has a sizeable amount of open space\, including grassland and weedy fields\, an uncommon habitat in the Greater Cincinnati area. This in turn attracts many open country and grassland species. The wooded riparian corridor and sandbars along the Little Miami are very attractive to a number of birds. Brushy woodland edges\, athletic fields and abandoned gravel pits\, at least one which is permanently filled with water\, round out the habitats. All of this attracts a great diversity of species throughout the various seasons. Many trails meander through the park.  \nOur trip leader\, Lisa Conner\, is a skilled birder and naturalist and is also a current and valued board member of our Audubon Society. Lisa’s plan is to walk the trails through the diverse habitats this Park has to offer. We expect to find an abundance of late fall migrants\, winter residents and permanent residents. A variety of a diverse seasonal birds should be seen. Bald Eagles (a pair nests nearby) are also likely. While birds will be our main focus\, Lisa will not ignore any other aspects of nature we find along the way. So come on out with us and join Lisa for what should be an interesting morning walk in a unique park. If time permits\, Lisa may take a short side trip to another nearby birding hotspot\, depending upon birding reports closer to the date. \nVirtually all of this trip will be on foot\, but walking will be easy to moderate and at a birders pace over mostly level terrain. As always\, be prepared for muddy spots\, especially if conditions have been wet. Expect cold temperatures and dress accordingly. Good footwear will make your walk more enjoyable. It should go without saying that binoculars are necessary for seeing birds well. Restrooms are available at Armleder. This field trip will end sometime around noon. If you have any questions about this trip feel free to contact Lisa at her contacts listed above. \nDirections: \nOtto Armleder Park is located at 5057 Wooster Pike\, Cincinnati\, OH 45226. It is located directly north of Lunken Airport and Beechmont Avenue\, but can only be accessed from Wooster Pike. You can access Wooster Pike and Armleder Park from Columbia Parkway (US 50)\, and Red Bank Road from the north or Beechmont Avenue (Rt. 125) or Wilmer Avenue from the south. From Wooster Pike\, turn into Otto Armleder Park and follow the Park road straight to the stop sign at the T intersection. Then go straight ahead\, into the main Pavilion Parking lot where we will meet. \nOtto Armleder Website (Includes Google Directions & Park Map) \nhttps://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/cincyparks/visit-a-park/find-a-parkfacility/otto-armleder-memorial-park/ \nThe meeting place can be found here: Otto Armleder Pavilion \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)

DESCRIPTION:Theme: Late Fall Botanical & Bird Walk \nLocation: Spring Grove Cemetery \nDate: Sunday\, November 9th\, 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 \nJoin us for our monthly field trip to Spring Grove Cemetery. The trees and shrubs on this beautiful property should still be showing some brilliant fall colors on this date. Who better to answer our questions concerning how trees and other plants prepare for winter than our regular Spring Grove field trip leader\, noted botanist Denis Conover. Denis will focus on fall color and the seasonal change that all plants go through and will point out the diverse botanical community found at Spring Grove Cemetery. Denis is an ASO Board Member\, a UC biology professor\, and an expert botanist and naturalist.  \nDenis will identify the tremendous diversity of trees\, shrubs\, fallen leaves and other plants that can be found here and expound on their ecology. Denis 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 fall foliage on what should be a beautiful autumnal morning and gain some tips and insight on plant identification and their natural history. Late migrant songbirds and new winter arrivals should be plentiful and many should be seen.  \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 or wet grass. This will be a three to four walk. Denis is always willing to stay later if anyone wants to go longer. We suggest wearing good waterproof footwear and dress for cool to 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. Denis says rain will not cancel this trip. If you have any questions feel free to contact Denis. \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.

SUMMARY:Cincinnati Bird Window Collisions: A Study in Bird Mortality and Building Mitigation
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Cincinnati Bird Window Collisions: A Study in Bird Mortality and Building Mitigation \nPresenter: Dr. Ron Canterbury \nDate: Thursday November 20\, 2025 \nTime: 7PM \nLocation: Sharon Center at Sharon Woods or on Zoom \n  \nEvery year an estimated ONE BILLION birds collide with windows in the United States alone! Due to their inability to detect glass facades on our many homes\, buildings\, and other glass structures\, they often do not survive these encounters with these man-made barriers. In the midst of a loss of 3 billion North American birds since 1970\, collisions with human structures figure to be a large contributor to the loss of our avian friends. \nLocally\, many birds perish as they pass over the glass-crowned hilltops of Clifton\, as well as other heavily built-up corridors\, such as downtown and the riverfront. Dr. Ron Canterbury\, an ornithologist at the University of Cincinnati\, has taken action to document and address this problem locally.
