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.

SUMMARY:Bird Collisions 101: Making Your Home and Community Safer for Birds
DESCRIPTION:VIEW RECORDING HERE \nThursday\, March 24\, 2022 2:00 PM –  3:00 PM MT \nWhite-throated Sparrow. Hermit Thrush. Black-and-white Warbler. These beloved birds are among the top bird species most at risk from window collisions. If you’ve ever heard a thud coming from your window\, it is possible one of these birds might have collided with it and sustained serious or even life-threatening injuries. \nEvery year up to 1 billion birds die as a result of collisions with glass in the U.S. There is a lot we can do individually and collectively to help birds\, especially during the seasons of migration when collision rates are even higher. \nIn our next webinar\, bird collisions experts will provide practical advice on preventing window strikes at home\, as well as tips to advocate for safer\, bird-friendly building policies in your community. \nSpeakers: \n\nDr. Christine Sheppard\, Glass Collisions Program Director\, ABC\nAnikó Tótha\, Bird Collision Glass Testing Program Coordinator\, ABC\nBryan Lenz\, Bird City Americas Director & Glass Collisions Program Manager\, ABC\n\nhttps://act.abcbirds.org/a/webinar-collisions-101?ms=social
