SUMMARY:Aiken Audubon Monthly Meeting. Green Big Year with Scott Somershoe.
DESCRIPTION:The Colorado birding community lost one of its pillars when Joe Roller passed away in November 2020. Joe was a fount of birding lore and loved people as much as birds. Many considered him a beloved friend. To honor Joe’s legacy\, Scott partnered with Colorado Field Ornithologists (CFO) and created the Joe Roller Memorial Grant to support bird research in Colorado. The grant will be initially funded by pledges raised through Scott’s 2021 Green Big Year\, a green (carbon-free) birding initiative. Scott will give a first-hand account of his Green Big Year that has tallied more than 250 species within biking distance of his home in Littleton\, CO.

SUMMARY:Aiken Monthly Meeting: Birds of the Alpine – White-tailed Ptarmigan and Brown-capped Rosy Finch
DESCRIPTION:Though many intrepid explorers hike Colorado’s high elevation mountains\, only a lucky few get to view the magical birds of the alpine – the southern white-tailed ptarmigan and brown-capped rosy-finch. Ptarmigan\, in almost a constant state of molt\, use their remarkable camouflage to disappear from predators and human alike whereas rosy-finches breed in steep\, inaccessible cliffs at extreme elevations. Come learn about these incredible birds and gain an appreciation of how they survive and thrive in the harsh alpine tundra of Colorado. Two researchers\, Amy Seglund (Colorado Parks and Wildlife) and Greg Wann (former graduate student at Colorado State University) will take you on a journey to describe both the natural history of ptarmigan and rosy-finches as well as share results of their research findings that have spanned over 10 years. Together their research has helped provide a better understanding of the distribution and health of these species in Colorado\, in addition to identifying threats that may impact populations into the future.

SUMMARY:Aiken Audubon Monthly Meeting: Mountain Plover Conservation
DESCRIPTION:What do you know about the Mountain Plover? A “shorebird” of sorts\, that doesn’t use the shore…much. This plover\, unlike many other plovers\, uses habitats only found in the Great Plains and is often found on private lands in agricultural settings. Working with private land owners is key to securing the future of this once common shorebird. Join Bird Conservancy of the Rockies Habitat Coordinator Angela Dwyer to learn about how they have worked to conserve Mountain Plovers and their habitats in the Great Plains. \nAngela Dwyer has been a Habitat Coordinator with Bird Conservancy of the Rockies since 2012.  She has a Master’s Degree in Wildlife Management from Stephen F. Austin State University. After graduate school\, she  worked in bird conservation for the National Audubon Society in both North Carolina and Colorado. At Bird Conservancy\, she works at the intersection of grassland bird conservation and collaboration on private lands. She works on several collaborative conservation projects    and oversees four Private Lands Wildlife Biologists. She is passionate to share more about the natural connections with birds and livestock on our grassland ecosystems.

SUMMARY:Aiken Audubon Monthly Meeting: Healthy Freshwater Ecosystems for Birds and People
DESCRIPTION:Water connects us all. Clean and reliable water supplies are essential to our 400+ species of birds and way of life in Colorado. All of us depend on healthy flowing rivers: agricultural producers\, cities and towns\, businesses\, recreation\, and the environment. Join the water discussion and find out why 2021 is a big year for Colorado water. Amid the update of the Colorado Water Plan\, the beginning of the renegotiation around the Colorado River\, drought\, and wildfire resilience and recovery\, one thing is clear: we all play a role in sustaining Colorado’s water future. \n Join Abby Burk\, western rivers regional program manager for Audubon Rockies\, for an engaging presentation on freshwater ecosystems\, current issues in Colorado water and what all of this means for birds and people.

SUMMARY:Aiken Audubon Monthly Meeting: Greater Sage-Grouse — Largest Conservation Effort in U.S. History
DESCRIPTION:Greater sage-grouse are symbolic of the vast open lands of the West. This imperiled bird has brought unexpected partners together and been the center of unprecedented conservation actions. However\, these actions were never given a chance to be implemented. With habitat conditions degrading\, will a change in political leaders and new science reinvigorate efforts to protect this bird and sagebrush country? \nDaly Edmunds is Director of Policy & Outreach for Audubon Rockies. Daly is responsible for furthering the Sagebrush Ecosystem Initiative on a state and regional scale – working with government representatives\, conservation organizations\, and community leaders throughout the West. \nPhoto: Greater Sage-Grouse / Evan Barrientos / Audubon Rockies
