SUMMARY:November Audubon Program - UC's Avian Mortalities Project
DESCRIPTION:Title: UC’s Avian Mortalities Project\nHost: Professor Ron Canterbury\n          Associate Academic Director\n          UC Department of Biological Sciences\n\nWednesday\,  November  15\,  7:00 to 9:00 pm\nSharon Woods Park Visitors Center\n\n\nDr. Canterbury has been leading local efforts to reduce impact based bird fatalities.  Bird fatalities at building sites are becoming a National issue. The people of Chicago were shocked to learn that 961 birds were killed in one night at one building location. Washington D.C. has put in place local ordinances to address bird fatalities.\n\n Dr. Canterbury will discuss the species killed at glass windows\, the numbers of birds killed this year and the over the last six years.  Dr. Canterbury will also review the buildings/locations with the highest impact rates\, and the factors that affect collision mortality on campus.\n\nSpecific site mitigation and building specific interventions will be covered. Dr. Canterbury will cover the status of UC’s response and the overall scope and status of the project. He will discuss the project’s specific needs and how everyone may get involved\, both locally and nationally.  He will project the results onto avian conservation and ecosystem level analyses\, along with a call to change the global narrative and worldview on this topic. Dr. Ron will review the educational and lobbying plans at local\, state\, and national levels.\n\nWe’ll meet at Sharon Woods Visitor Center on Wednesday\, September 20\, at 7:00 p.m. The Visitor Center is located at 11450 Lebanon Road (U.S. Route 42)\, Sharonville\, Ohio\, about 3/4 mile south of Interstate 275.\n\nContact Rick Marra with any questions\, at rickpmarra@aol.com.

SUMMARY:Late Fall Bird and General Nature Walk at Armleder
DESCRIPTION:Theme:  Late Fall Bird and General Nature Walk \nLocation: Otto Armleder Memorial Park \nDate: Sunday\, November 19\, 2023 \nMeet: At 8:00 AM at the Main Pavilion Parking Lot at Armleder Park (See directions below) \nLeader: Luke Thies\, (937) 733-9325\, thiesluke997@gmail.com \n  \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 (including Short-eared Owls in the winter). 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\, Luke Thies\, is a skilled birder and naturalist. Luke is also a valued board member of our Audubon Society who works for Great Parks of Hamilton County. Luke plan is to walk the trails through the diverse habitats this Park has to offer. We expect to find a diversity of seasonal birds. Among the late fall migrants and winter resident species we should find several species of sparrows and raptors\, including Bald Eagle. While birds will likely be our focus\, Luke will not ignore other flora and fauna we find along the way. Late autumn is a beautiful time of the year. The subtle hues of the landscape interspersed with fall colors offer up a stark beauty. So come on out with us and join Luke for what should be a pleasant morning walk in an interesting and unique park. \nVirtually all of this trip will be on foot\, but walking will be easy to moderate and at a birders pace.  As always\, be prepared for muddy spots\, especially if conditions have been wet. Expect winter temperatures and dress accordingly. 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. \nIf you have any questions about this trip feel free to contact Luke at his 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. \n  \nOtto Armleder Website (Includes Google Directions & Park Map) \nhttps://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/cincyparks/visit-a-park/find-a-parkfacility/otto-armleder-memorial-park/ \n https://www.greatparks.org/parks/otto-armleder-memorial-park/otto-armleder-memorial-park-trails \n  \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)

SUMMARY:Waterfowl and Late Fall Migrants at Brookville Lake Area
DESCRIPTION:Brookville Lake Area  \nWaterfowl & Late Fall Migrants \nDate: Sunday\, November 26\, 2023 \nCo-Leader:  Jack Stenger\, (513) 503-3389\, jackstenger@gmail.com \nCo-Leader: Jay Stenger\, (513) 522-8147\, jaystenger1@gmail.com \nMeet: 7:30 a.m. at the Park & Ride Lot at I-275 Exit # 7. See directions below. \n  \nThe focus of this trip will be the fall waterfowl migration\, which should be near peak at this date. The general plan is to visit several spots around Brookville Lake and\, if time permits\, make the short hop over to Hueston Woods before returning home. Both of these locations are hotspots and are excellent for attracting waterfowl and water birds at this season. The rural countryside surrounding these two large lakes has diverse habitats so we expect to find a great variety and diversity of species throughout the day. In addition to many species of waterfowl (ducks & geese) we also expect to see loons\, grebes\, gulls\, Sandhill Cranes\, late shorebirds (such as Dunlin & Wilson’s Snipe)\, good numbers of Bald Eagles\, many hawks\, numbers of seasonal songbirds and much more. Rare species are always possible at this season. Prairie Falcon and Golden Eagle have been seen on this trip in past years. \nOur trip leaders\, son and father Jack Stenger & Jay Stenger\, are long time ASO advocates and expert birders with excellent field skills. They also know the Brookville region intimately\, so we can expect to find a great diversity of seasonal species. This will be an auto type tour and will consist of driving from spot to spot\, interspersed with a few short easy walks. While this trip does entail considerable driving\, the rewards\, in terms of what we see\, always make this trip well worth the effort. \nThe trip will run into midafternoon\, but of course you can leave at any time you like. Bring your lunch and drinks. It always seems colder around large lakes so dress accordingly. If you have a scope it will prove useful. Restrooms will be available throughout the day. One important note\, Indiana State Parks charges a daily per car entrance fee ($7 resident\, $9 non-resident). At this time of year there are usually no attendants on duty but we cannot be sure of that. \nDirections: \nWe will meet at 7:30 a.m. at the park & ride lot\, located right at the I-275 Exit # 7 at SR 128\, marked Cleves-Hamilton. This is the first exit just west of the Great Miami River at Miamitown. We will caravan from there to the Brookville area\, about a 30-minute drive. \nIf you have any questions about this trip feel free to contact Jay or Jack at their contacts listed above. \n  \nFor a map and other info visit the Brookville Lake website at: \nhttp://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/2961.htm \nVisit the Whitewater Memorial State Park (at Brookville Lake) website at: \nhttp://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/2962.htm \nVisit the Hueston Woods SP website at: \nhttps://ohiodnr.gov/wps/portal/gov/odnr/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property/hueston-woods-state-park \n  \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)
