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: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.

SUMMARY:Indiana’s Rare Plants
DESCRIPTION:Join Roger Hedge for an online program about Indiana’s rare plants. From oak savannas\, prairies\, dunes\, and natural lakes of northern Indiana\, to southern Indiana’s forested hills\, glades\, barrens\, and cypress swamps\, our state has a rich biodiversity.  These and other Indiana natural communities support a spectacular array of plant and animal species\, including nearly 450 vascular plants that are considered endangered or threatened in the state.  Many of these species occur on dedicated state nature preserves and other public lands.  \nThe Indiana Natural Heritage Data Center in the Division of Nature Preserves\, Department of Natural Resources\, tracks and monitors these rare species and high-quality natural communities.  Roger Hedge is an ecologist and botanist with the data center.  His primary duties include searching for and monitoring these natural features.  Enjoy an armchair tour of some of Indiana’s finest natural areas and the rare species they support. \nThis will be an online program using Zoom. Participants will register using Eventbrite and there will be a limit of 100. To register go to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/indianas-rare-plants-tickets-123747228291. Once we are close to the program date\, you will receive an email with an invite to a Zoom meeting. \n  \nPhoto: Roger Hedge and Scott Namestnik\, Indiana Natural Heritage Data biologists\, monitoring rare plants at Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge in southeast Indiana. \nPhoto credit: Joe Robb

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. \nPhoto courtesy of Chuck Anderson.

SUMMARY:A Season on the Wind – Spring Migration through the Midwest
DESCRIPTION:Every spring\, billions of birds go sweeping northward across North America. This vast parade of small migrants was the subject of Kenn Kaufman’s book A Season on the Wind\, published in April 2019. Although the book focused on the concentrations of migratory birds in the Magee Marsh area of northern Ohio\, in this program Kenn will talk about larger patterns of spring bird movements throughout the Midwest\, including central Indiana.

SUMMARY:Why Bird Feeding Makes a Difference
DESCRIPTION:Join ABAS Board Director Brian Cunningham for an informative program about feeding the birds. \nAnyone who has ever fed wild birds knows that it can bring joy to their lives. But\, does bird feeding just benefit people? Do the birds become dependent on the food we provide? We’ll take a look at what we have learned from various scientific studies and citizen science data on why feeding wild birds makes a difference for the health and well-being of people and for our backyard feathered visitors. \nBrian Cunningham has a love for the outdoors\, nature\, and birds. His greatest passion is helping others experience nature and opening their eyes to the wonder and beauty of birds. Brian has worked at Wild Birds Unlimited for 22 years and is their Product and Hobby Education Manager. \nBrian has a BS in Forestry with an emphasis in Forest Recreation from Purdue University.

SUMMARY:Hoosier Whooping Cranes
DESCRIPTION:Join Danielle Williams\, Whooping Crane Outreach Program Assistant for Indiana for the International Crane Foundation (ICF)\, for an informative program about Whooping Cranes in Indiana. \n\n\nDid you know the tallest birds in North America winter right here in Indiana? Historically\, this was not always the case. In this program\, Danielle will discuss how the Whooping Crane made its amazing comeback from fewer than 20 individuals in the 1940s to over 800 today. Learn about the creative methods used to bring Whooping Cranes back to the eastern United States\, the ongoing challenges associated with this effort\, and what the ICF is doing to help these cranes right here in Indiana. \n\n\nDanielle graduated from Indiana University with a B.S. in Biology before earning her M.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Science from Penn State. \n\n\nIn 2018 ABAS supplied a grant to the ICF to help promote Whooping Crane Awareness in Indiana. The ICF also received a Birdathon grant in 2018. \n\nTo learn more about the ICF and their work\, please visit savingcranes.org.
