SUMMARY:Birding Belize: It’s UnBELIEZEable! - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:David Rupp\, owner of IndiGo Birding Nature Tours in Bloomington\, will give a presentation about birding in Belize\, an emerging destination in Central America. David fell in love with Belize on his first visit and has led multiple birding tours to Belize since. The presentation will feature photos from recent tour participants as well as from Belizean photographers. \nBelize is only the size of Massachusetts but has a bird list of nearly 600 species. From 22 species of hummingbirds to the Ocellated Turkey\, Belize offers birds of all shapes\, sizes\, and colors. The combination of tropical birding and a diverse and fascinating culture make Belize appealing for all levels of birders. As a bonus\, the people are super-friendly and the food is delicious! \nDavid will introduce you to the different regions of the country\, some unique birds you can find\, and give some examples of the variety of lodging that could fit a tight budget or provide a luxurious experience. David hopes to be joined via Zoom by his friend Isaias Morataya\, guide extraordinaire at Black Rock Lodge and the #3 eBirder in Belize\, who will share some of his passion for birding and answer questions as well. \nDavid is a former board member of both ABAS and the Sassafras Audubon Society and began his career as a naturalist in the Indy Parks system. \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/birding-belize-its-unbeliezeable-tickets-138804284351. Once we are close to the program date\, you will receive an email with an invite to a Zoom meeting. \nPhoto courtesy of David Rupp.

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.

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. Once we are close to the program date\, you will receive an email with an invite to a Zoom meeting. \nPhoto courtesy of Chuck Anderson.

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.
