SUMMARY:ASO May Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:ASO May Monthly Meeting  \n  \nTitle: Time Machine Salamander \nPresenter: Ryan Jorgensen \nTime and Date: Wednesday\, May 20th\, 7pm \nLocation: Sharon Centre in Sharon Woods\, 11450 Lebanon Road\, Sharonville\, OH 45241 and Zoom (see link below) \nOrganizer: Ryan Jorgensen at jorgensen28ryan@gmail.com \nMany organisms around us feel far removed from a human life\, but if we look closer\, we can find many surprising similarities that give us a window into the history of life on Earth. By observing the anatomy and physiology of a salamander\, we can look back to a time where vertebrates were originally moving on to land. With their amphibious lifestyle and ancient body plan\, salamanders have many traits that resemble our ancient ancestors. Come join salamander fanatic and ASO board member Ryan Jorgensen as he walks us through the adaptations necessary for a fish to move to land and how we can see many of these adaptations in today’s salamanders. \nThis meeting will also be available on Zoom at:  https://zoom.us/j/96615275424?pwd=dAvhZKBKatZ7mlsNWiqpU3fA4UsZLN.1 \nMeeting ID: 966 1527 5424 \nPasscode: 579054 \n  \n(Contributed by Ryan Jorgensen) \n

SUMMARY:Spring Migrant and Breeding Birds Nature Walk
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Spring Migrant and Breeding Birds Nature Walk \nLocation: Indian Creek State Wildlife Area \nDate:  Saturday\, May 23\, 2026 \nMeet:  At 8:00 AM at the Marathon Gas & Food Mart in Fayetteville Ohio\, located on the northwest corner of the US 50 & SR 68 intersections in Fayetteville. See directions below. \nLeader: Bill Stanley\, (513) 324-2796\, tyrannus58@gmail.com \n  \nWe have not visited this unique area for quite a while\, but prior ASO trips have always proved popular and successful. If you have never been to this location\, you are in for a surprise. \nLocated about 20 miles east of Milford and just south of US 50\, the 1800 acre Indian Creek State Wildlife Area (SWA)\, is a little known\, but wonderful hidden gem that can teem with birds and other wildlife and provides excellent birding at any season. Woodlands\, weedy and brushy fields\, many marshy ponds\, wooded riparian Indian Creek and a managed wetland create a multitude of habitats which in turn attract a diversity of birds and other species. This quiet and little visited area has miles of gravel roads which make for easy access and walking. \nOn this date spring migration may be a bit past peak\, but there still should be many migrants moving through. Summer resident birds should be abundant and near their breeding peak. Many songbirds\, raptors and wetland birds should be found. Some interesting species that are likely present include Northern Bobwhite\, Red-headed Woodpecker\, Bell’s Vireo\, and Blue Grosbeak. \nOur trip leader\, Bill Stanley\, is an expert birder and naturalist who knows this area very well.  Bill is the current president of our Audubon Society (ASO) and also an officer of the Cincinnati Herpetological Club. We will meet Bill at the Fayetteville Marathon Station (see directions below) and caravan from there.  Indian Creek is easily accessed off of US 50 and is only about a 3 minute drive from our meeting spot. Expect mostly walking on this trip\, but the walking will be moderate over level ground and at a leisurely birders pace. Bill will probably occasionally drive from one stop to another. \nBill figures this trip will last no later than noon. It can be hot in late May\, so you may want to bring water\, sun screen\, insect repellent and a hat to make your trip more comfortable. Bill will plan restroom stops along the way. There is a restroom at our meeting location and a few primitive facilities at Indian Creek. Feel free to contact Bill if you have any questions. \nDirections to Marathon Gas & Food Mart in Fayetteville\, Ohio: \nFrom I-275 at the Milford Parkway/US 50 Exit # 59\, take US 50 east for about 20 miles to the intersection of US 68 in Fayetteville\, Ohio. The Marathon Station is located on the NW corner. Meet in the Parking Lot\, but park away from the front doors if possible. \nIndian Creek SWA website: \nhttps://ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property/indian-creek-wildlife-area \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)

SUMMARY:Spring Botanical and Bird Walk
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Spring Botanical and Bird Walk \nLocation: Spring Grove Cemetery \nDate: Monday\, May 25\, 2026 Memorial Day  \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 \n  \nDenis Conover has become our designated ASO field trip leader for our monthly field trip to Spring Grove Cemetery. Denis 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. Denis says that rain will not cancel this field trip. \nTrees\, shrubs\, wildflowers and a host of other plants will be near or in full bloom on this walk. Birds\, both resident and spring migrants will also be present in good numbers. Spring migration will be winding down on this date and the breeding season will be moving into full swing. Some migrants will still be around of course\, especially those species which are particularly late migrants. Summer resident breeding birds should be obvious. \nAs always\, Denis will take us on a walk through the beautiful cemetery grounds and point out the diverse botanical community and seasonal birds found at Spring Grove Cemetery. He will identify the tremendous diversity of wildflowers\, trees\, shrubs\, and other plants that can be found here and expound on their ecology. Woodland wildflowers should be particularly on display on this walk. 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. \nDenis 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 and hear. So come along and join him on what hopefully will be a pleasant spring morning walk and gain some tips and insight into plant identification and their natural history\, as well as see some spring migrant and resident birds. \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 (possibly) wet grass. This will be a three-hour leisurely walk\, but you can always end your walk whenever you like. We suggest wearing good footwear and dress for mild temperatures (which vary in the spring). 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. \n Directions: 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  \n(Contributed by Jay Stenger)
