SUMMARY:Coyotes with Gerrian Albers\, Indiana Department of Natural Resources
DESCRIPTION:Coyotes illicit a range of emotions in people. They are native to Indiana and have an interesting history in the state\, but their populations were very low for a long time\, giving many the perception we didn’t have coyotes for many decades. Coyotes are adept at living in all types of habitats\, including urban areas\, and this has allowed them to thrive in Indiana. Join Indiana’s furbearer biologist as she talks about all things coyote.

SUMMARY:Cerulean Warbler Research - Dr. Kamal Islam
DESCRIPTION:Join us this May for a discussion with Dr. Kamal Islam—Professor of Wildlife Biology at Ball State University. Dr. Kamal Islam has been conducting research since 2000 focused on investigating factors that may be contributing to the decline of Cerulean Warbler breeding populations in southern Indiana. He and his students have conducted baseline studies on distribution\, relative abundance\, and characteristics of territories\, including spacing\, song perch selection\, and vocalization behavior. Currently\, they are focused on breeding biology and the effects of past silvicultural practices on Cerulean Warbler abundance. He will be presenting the findings of his research during our program.

SUMMARY:Certified Wildlife Habitat Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Certified Wildlife Habitat Workshop is a unique educational opportunity for individuals and families who are interested in protecting the natural beauty and local wildlife of Indiana. Program participants will learn about native plants and animals\, explore the links between their communities and larger ecosytems\, and discover how to create wild-life friendly habitats. The workshop will be presented by Indiana Wildlife Federation’s Habitat Programs Manager Aaron Stump. \nOur native species are best suited for the soil and weather conditions in Indiana and are the perfect plants to grow in your yard. They require no fertilizer\, no pesticides\, and less water than non-native species\, all while attracting and supporting Indiana’s wildlife. Aaron’s expertise in native plants and Indiana habitats will be a great resource for anyone interested in transforming their outdoor space into a wildlife oasis.

SUMMARY:Caves and Caving in Indiana
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Dean Wiseman is a professor of biology at the University of Indianapolis with multidisciplinary expertise in physiology\, cell biology\, pathophysiology and pharmacology. He is also an avid caver and will be sharing his knowledge of caving with us this December. Dean has vast caving experience beyond Indiana such as 5 expeditions to Lechuguilla\, multiple visits to Mammoth Cave\, and his ongoing participation in ground-breaking surveys of Vietnam’s Tiger Cave System. However\, he is also a very avid caver within the state as a former director and active member of the Central Indiana Grotto—our local chapter of the National Speleological Society. This talk will be a great opportunity for those curious about caving in Indiana and ways to get involved in the local speleological scene.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Bird and Nature Photography
DESCRIPTION:Join Brian Zwiebel of Sabrewing Nature Tours for an informative presentation on beginning and intermediate bird photography. Brian is a business partner of current ABAS President\, Rob Ripma\, another proprietor of Sabrewing Nature Tours. \nThis introductory program is great for beginners and will offer a few nuggets for the intermediate shooter as well. Learn what Brian does\, and what you should do too\, every time you get your hands on a new digital camera. Discover what a histogram is\, how to read it\, and how to use it to make better exposures. Speaking of exposures\, you will learn which exposure modes Brian uses in various situations and why. Learn to improve your images with better compositions and backgrounds\, as well as how to improve your action and behavior images. All of this and much more will be included in the program and each talking point supported by Brian’s award-winning photography. \nThis will be an online program using Zoom. Participants will register using Eventbrite and there will be a limit of 90. To register go to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/an-introduction-to-bird-and-nature-photography-tickets-131892665513. Once we are close to the program date\, you will receive an email with an invite to a Zoom meeting. \nPhoto courtesy of Brian Zwiebel.

SUMMARY:Examining the Ecological Consequences of Climate Change through Phenology
DESCRIPTION:Join Amanda Cantrell\, a Board Member of Indiana Phenology for our March program. Phenology is the study of the timing of recurring plant and animal life cycle stages\, such as leafing\, flowering\, and fruiting in plants and migration and reproduction in animals.  These changes are driven by climate and other abiotic factors and govern how living organisms interact with each other and even the cycling of water\, carbon\, and other elements within local and global ecosystems. \nOur climate is warming at an unprecedented rate due to human activities such as the production and burning of fossil fuels.  In this presentation\, we will explore how changes in phenology\, such as earlier Spring leafing and flowering or insect emergence driven by warming temperatures\, can be indicators of climate change’s impact on ecosystems and help elucidate downstream effects on abundance\, diversity\, and the interaction of species.  You will also learn how you as a citizen scientist can help track these changes through phenology observation to build a local dataset useful to scientists\, policymakers\, land managers\, and conservationists to mitigate and adapt to climate change. \nThis will be an online program using Zoom. Participants will register using Eventbrite and there will be a limit of 90. To register go to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/examining-the-ecological-consequences-of-climate-change-through-phenology-tickets-138299099329.

SUMMARY:Hoosiers for Whoopers: How You Can Help Whooping Cranes in Indiana
DESCRIPTION:Join Taylor Franklin for an update on the Eastern Migratory Population of Whooping Cranes. Taylor is a Whooping Crane Outreach Program Assistant with the International Crane Foundation (ICF). Taylor will cover where and when whoopers are in Indiana\, how people can help by reporting locations of birds they see\, and a protocol for watching them. He’ll also cover how to turn in people that are harming them\, and other interesting and important information for folks to know about whooper conservation.\n\n\nThis will be an online program using Zoom. Participants will register using Eventbrite and there will be a limit of 90.

SUMMARY:The Dark Side of Lepidoptera
DESCRIPTION:Join Amanda Smith\, Superintendent of Natural Resources and Education for the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Department\, for an informative discussion about the dark side of Lepidoptera\, specifically moths. They make up 90% of the Order of Lepidoptera. However\, they share very little of the excitement or appreciation that surrounds their more popular cousins\, the butterflies. Moths are critical to the food webs\, extremely diverse\, understudied\, and many are more striking than the prettiest butterfly. In this program we will discuss moth identification\, their importance in the ecosystem\, how to attract them\, tips on moth photography\, and provide connections to resources and projects geared to helping people learn about these fascinating and yet often overlooked insects. \nThis will be an online program using Zoom. Participants will register using Eventbrite and there will be a limit of 90. To register go to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-dark-side-of-lepidoptera-tickets-131374539785.
