SUMMARY:Members Webinar: Introduction to the New England Shorebird Guide
DESCRIPTION:For over 50 years\, Soheil Zendeh has been monitoring shorebirds populations in Massachusetts and elsewhere. Over the past 35 years there have been drastic drops in most shorebird populations\, particularly long distance migratory birds from the Arctic. He is the author of New England Shorebird Guide\, a web-based field guide for New England shorebirders focused on helping introductory to medium level observers. His field guide is hosted on the Bird Observer website. \nThis webinar will discuss data from past years compared to current numbers\, and talk about the difficulties of monitoring these birds considering their far-flung trajectories – nesting in the arctic\, migrating through coastal and inland wetlands\, wintering in Central and South America. It will also discuss the difficulties of keeping up with shorebird plumage changes through the seasons. The goal of this webinar is to help build a constituency for these birds in order to enhance conservation measures for the ones that need help. \nFor more information and to register.

SUMMARY:Mount Auburn in Summer
DESCRIPTION:Mt. Auburn Cemetery is most heavily visited during migration season\, but birding there in the summer allows you to see the large number of vibrant breeding birds without the crowds. Expect to see herons\, vireos\, flycatchers\, and raptors\, which may include some Great Horned Owls if we are lucky. Birders and nature-lovers of all skill levels are welcome. The walk will be about a mile in the summer heat with some elevation\, so bring sun protection\, water\, appropriate footwear\, and binoculars. \nMeet: Outside Story Chapel (580 Mt. Auburn St)\, which is the red sandstone building that looks like a chapel near the cemetery entrance (inside the cemetery). \nThe Cemetery gates open fairly promptly at 8am and you can usually park on Lawn Ave. where it circles the Asa Gray Garden. That is very near the meeting spot. Parking is allowed on any road that doesn’t have a green center line. Park completely on asphalt\, not touching the grass. \nPublic transportation and bicycling are fine ways to reach the cemetery. There are racks for your bikes inside the gates. https://www.mbta.com/trip-planner is an easy way to find a route on the T and the trip planner can give you a route that takes into account weekend schedules and temporarily closed train lines.
