SUMMARY:October Program – Julie Zickefoose
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 17 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm\n\n\n\n\nBooks\, Birds\, and Following Passion’s Path\n\nPresented by Julie Zickefoose\n\nThursday\, October 17th 2024\, 7:00 p.m.\n\nSharon Woods Visitor Center\n\n\n\n\nBooks\, Birds and Following Passion’s Path  \n  \nThis talk is an origin story; a close look at the making of a natural history writer and illustrator. It follows the threads of inspiration from formative books and influential artists in Julie’s early years\, to the creation of her own books. Zickefoose tracks in intimate detail the exceptionally close interactions she has with birds under her study and care. These experiences have given her deep insight into the way birds think and see the world. “There’s no better way to come to know a bird than to be its mama. Then\, to let it go and watch it learn to navigate its world and become what it was meant to be—this is how I come to understand birds: from their beginnings on outward.” \n  \nIllustrated with the author’s own photographs\, drawings and paintings\, this lecture brings viewers into Julie’s world\, and that of the birds she has come to know. A brood of Carolina wrens: ferociously intelligent\, surprisingly affectionate\, inventive and comical\, consumed Julie’s summer in 2023. You’ll leave with a far greater appreciation of these small brown birds\, and all birds\, who have been Julie’s best instructors in the ways of the wild. \n  \nBio: \nJulie Zickefoose lives and works quietly on an 80-acre wildlife sanctuary in the back country of Whipple\, Ohio. She is a prolific writer and painter who was an All Things Considered commentator for five years. Her illustrated work\, The Bluebird Effect\, was an Oprah’s Book Club pick in 2012.  After 37 years of contributing art and writing to Bird Watcher’s Digest\, Julie recently became Advising Editor to the new and improved BWD Magazine. Her heavily illustrated books include Natural Gardening for Birds\, Letters from Eden\, The Bluebird Effect\, and Baby Birds: An Artist Looks Into the Nest. Her newest book is Saving Jemima: Life and Love With a Hard-Luck Jay\, the intimate story of how an orphaned bird can save a soul.\n\nSharon Woods Visitors Center is located at 11450 Lebanon Road\, Sharonville\, Ohio 45241 (0.8 miles) south of I-275

SUMMARY:Fall Color & Botanical Walk at Spring Grove Cemetery with Denis Conover
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Fall Color & Botanical Walk \nLocation: Spring Grove Cemetery \nDate: Sunday\, October 20\, 2024 \nMeet: 9:00 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 \nFall color should be near peak on this date and Spring Grove is a great place to see the beauty of an autumnal morning. This will be the focus of this field trip\, but as always our field trip leader\, noted botanist Denis Conover\, will point out the diverse botanical community found at Spring Grove Cemetery. Come out and join ASO Board Member\, UC professor\, and expert botanist and naturalist Denis Conover as he leads us on a mid-morning autumnal walk through the beautiful grounds of Spring Grove Cemetery. This is a beautiful time of the year and fall color should be brilliant. \nBesides fall color\, Denis 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 brilliant 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 will also 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. Just beyond the tunnel\, pull over and park alongside the right side of the road.  \nSpring Grove Cemetery website: \nhttps://www.springgrove.org/locations/spring-grove-cemetery-arboretum/ \nSpring Grove Cemetery Map: \nhttps://www.springgrove.org/resource/maps/ \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)

SUMMARY:Late Fall Migration and Nature Walk at East Fork State Park with Bill Stanley
DESCRIPTION:Late Fall Migration and Nature Walk \nLocation: East Fork State Park \nDate: Saturday\, October 26\, 2024 \nMeet: 8:00 A.M. at the East Fork State Parks south Swimming Beach parking lot\, nearest the Pavilion (see the directions below). \nLeader: Bill Stanley\, (513) 324-2796\, tyrannus58@gmail.com \nJoin our trip leader Bill Stanley for what should be a great day of birding at East Fork State Park during a beautiful time of the year. Bill is an expert birder and skilled naturalist and a board member of our Audubon Society. Bill has been a fixture in our birding and conservation community since he joined the Cincinnati Zoo’s Jr\, Zoologist Program as a young teenager. October is a beautiful month and autumn color should be near peak on this date. October is also centered in the middle of fall migration and because of that it offers somewhat of a mixed bag of species. East Fork SP and Harsha Lake is an excellent spot to find this diversity of species.  \nWhile neotropic migration is over by this date\, there are several species of late fall migrant songbirds moving through. These numbers are augmented by the new arrivals of our wintering species. Shorebird migration is slowing down by this date\, but a few of those species should still be around. Waterfowl migration will be close to peak on this date which is also true of gulls\, grebes\, loons and a number of other species of water birds. Raptors are on the move throughout the month and Bald Eagles should be expected. And there is always a chance for a rarity\, as East Fork has an excellent reputation in that regard\, particularly in the fall.  \nBill\, who lives nearby\, knows East Fork SP as well as anyone and plans to visit several different locations and habitats within the park. This will entail driving to a few different spots\, interspersed with light walking at a birders pace between. While we will walk a bit during the morning\, it 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 and join Bill for some great birding on what should be a beautiful autumnal morning. This trip will probably end around noon or so. Restrooms are available in the park. Dress for the weather\, it is always colder close to the water. If you have scopes bring them. If you have any questions feel free to contact Bill. \nDirections:  \nWe will meet at the Parks south swimming beach parking lot\, nearest to the Pavilion. To get to the East Fork SP south entrance 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 Old State Rte. 125 (opposite Rt. 222) and follow the signs to the Park entrance. Follow the Park Road (and signs) to the East Fork SP Swimming Beach. Meet in the Parking Lot nearest the Pavilion. \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 \nHere is a google maps link to the meeting location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4JxpdckyTMm7Jtjv8 \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)
