SUMMARY:Tracking Birds From The Great Plains to The Chihuahuan Desert
DESCRIPTION:Grassland birds are among the most imperiled group of birds in the United States. The Motus Wildlife Tracking System (Motus) is a network of automated radio telemetry stations that offers an effective method to explore animal movement. Join Avian Ecologist Matt Webb to learn more about how Bird Conservancy of the Rockies is developing a network of Motus stations and tagging birds across the Great Plains and Chihuahuan Desert to study the movement behavior of grassland birds. This network will allow researchers to gain a new understanding of how grassland birds move throughout their full annual cycle. \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/84223552864?pwd=KytVZktsNmxLSkpiRWJaemhSdHZkQT09 \nMeeting ID: 842 2355 2864\nPasscode: 143561

SUMMARY:Aiken monthly meeting: Effects of Climate Change on Birds of Colorado (and beyond)
DESCRIPTION:Join us next Wednesday\, March 16 @ 7:00 pm for our monthly meeting and presentation. Aiken President\, Clark Jones\, will be giving a presentation examining the forecasted (and observed) effects of climate change on birds in Colorado. Current climate models portend to a warmer future in Colorado. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA)\, “Statewide annual temperatures [are] projected to warm between 2.5°F and 5°F by 2050 relative to a 1971–2000 baseline. A 2-degree increase would make the city of Denver’s temperatures in 2050 more like the southern Colorado city of Pueblo is today. With higher emissions (RCP 8.5)\, the projected warming for Colorado is as much as 6.5°F by mid-century\, which would make Denver’s temperatures more similar to those found today in Albuquerque\, New Mexico.” This warming has deep implications for birds in Colorado\, as well as across the globe.

DESCRIPTION:VIEW RECORDING HERE \nThursday\, March 24\, 2022 2:00 PM –  3:00 PM MT \nWhite-throated Sparrow. Hermit Thrush. Black-and-white Warbler.

SUMMARY:Aiken Monthly Meeting: Pinyon Jays in Colorado
DESCRIPTION:The amazing social pinyon jay is familiar to many and yet surprisingly\, little to no research has been done regarding the species in Colorado. We do know that pinyon jay populations have recently been declining. Because of these declines\, Colorado Parks and Wildlife initiated a study in 2019 to locate breeding colonies across the state to better understand habitat use\, assess site fidelity\, and identify threats to reproductive output. Come spend an evening learning about the natural history of this species and recent research findings with Amy Seglund from Colorado Parks and Wildlife. \n  \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/83817861538?pwd=UXBOZVNwQnl5cHBKZEJHUWw2ek1PUT09 \nMeeting ID: 838 1786 1538\nPasscode: 950611 \n
