SUMMARY:Proposed Name Changes to Birds
DESCRIPTION:John “Barny” Dunning is a Professor of Wildlife Ecology in the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources at Purdue. Join Barny as he presents a program about the upcoming proposed name changes for birds. The American Ornithological Society has proposed changing the common names of all birds that were named after specific people. This has been proposed as an action to make birding more welcoming and open to all people\, but has been criticized by many people. Barny will go over the reasoning why professional ornithologists have decided to take this step\, and give pros and cons on whether it should be done.

SUMMARY:September Lake Watch Experience Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join ABAS and field trip leader Bill Sharkey for a Saturday at Lake Michigan to look for fall migrants. This is an opportunity for anyone curious or interested in how to do a lake watch\, to learn from one of the state’s most experienced lake watchers.  \nFor those curious what a lake watch is\, it is an opportunity to witness the southern movement of passerines\, shorebirds\, gulls\, waterfowl\, and if lucky\, witness the power and aerial maneuvering of a Jaeger.  \nThere are three possible Jaegers that have been viewed from a lake watch on Lake Michigan—Long-tailed\, Parasitic\, and Pomarine Jaeger. In September\, our best chances would be to see a Long-tailed Jaeger but a Parasitic is also a possibility. Pomarine Jaegers are seen in late fall\, if at all.  \nThis field trip will take place on Saturday\, September 6 beginning a half hour before dawn and run until 10:00 am Central Time. Participants are welcome to stay longer if desired. Meet at Marquette Park on the sand dune behind the concession stand. A scope is necessary for this field trip as many of the birds will be far out into the lake. Parking is along the side of the road that parallels the lakefront. Getting there early is helpful/essential. \nBe sure to bring sunscreen\, water\, food\, and possibly a folding chair. Plan for the weather and expect the air temperature to be 10 degrees cooler than inland.  \nThere is a maximum of 8 people who can register for this trip. ABAS members will have priority until July 31\, but don’t hesitate to sign up if you are interested as non-members are first come\, first serve. If you wish to come up on Friday\, there are hotels in Porter\, Chesterton\, and Michigan City. ABAS will cancel for severe weather so check communications.  \n  \nRegistration: Email Laurie Voss\, Field Trip Chair at laurievoss25@gmail.com \nWhen registering\, please provide your phone number in case we need to text in the last minute with changes.
