SUMMARY:Surviving the Urban Jungle\, A Talk on Human/Wildlife Conflict - Presented by Michele Dodge
DESCRIPTION:As people continue to expand their territory\, wild animals find themselves more and more impacted by people. This can result in difficult situations for the wild animals who don’t know how to navigate an increasingly urbanized landscape.  Presented by a wildlife field rescuer with real life photos and stories about helping our wild neighbors. Sometimes heartbreaking\, sometimes disturbing\, sometimes funny\, and sometimes heartwarming\, we will hear about rescues of everything from squirrels to owls\, from foxes to eagles\, and discuss some of the dangers we unintentionally create in suburban America.  Come learn about the urban jungle\, and how we can become better friends to our wild neighbors.   \nMichele Dodge is a wildlife photographer and wildlife rescuer that lives in Granite Bay\, California.  She was an animal crazy kid that grew up to be an animal crazy adult\, and has been involved with animals her entire life.   She volunteers for several licensed wildlife rescue organizations\, working their emergency call phone lines and helping people with complex or dangerous rescues.  She also does workshops and trainings on wildlife\, photography\, and rescue for many organizations including rescue groups\, community colleges\, wildlife festivals\, and conservation groups.

SUMMARY:Diet and Nomadic Migration in Red Crossbills
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Konshau Duman \nKonshau’s research is on the relationship between diet and nomadic migration in the Red Crossbill. He spent his first season studying their migration diet by observing them in the field during the period when most of them are on the move in early summer\, and his continuing work will have to do with more intensive study of their fattening and energetics. Konshau is especially interested in the differences in movement strategies across the call types to figure out how far they have to go and why. In this talk\, Konshau will cover the Red Crossbill annual cycle\, how these questions fit into it\, and how eBird and iNaturalist users can make this and other research possible. \nKonshau is a second year PhD student at UC Davis studying diet and movement in birds\, with a focus on the Red Crossbills. He is an avid birder and field naturalist with a passion for identifying everything\, and he enjoys thinking about the life histories of birds\, insects\, plants\, fishes\, and more. Natural history has been his passion since he was a child growing up in the Western Mojave Desert. He got his BS from UC Davis in 2020 and since then he and his wife Lynette have worked several bird survey field jobs in Montana\, SE California\, and the Central Valley. The thing he really loves about birds is that they are so good at flying and how that really sets them apart from other living things in terms of their habitat use and adaptations.

SUMMARY:Gardening for Native Pollinators in the Central Valley
DESCRIPTION:By Amy Weiser and Doug Weiser \nThis presentation will discuss gardening for native pollinators.  When we bought our current house in Stockton\, we had a strong interest in fruit and vegetable gardening.  As a result\, we became very interested in encouraging pollinators to increase the yield from our small suburban yard.  We converted our front yard into a native garden to attract pollinators\, and we have been involved in similar projects at the University of the Pacific and John McCandless Charter School (Swain Campus).  In this talk\, we will discuss the ecology and benefits of native pollinators\, including butterflies\, native bees\, and hummingbirds.  We will also discuss simple gardening strategies that you can use on your property to provide invaluable habitat for native pollinators. \nDoug Weiser has been a professor of Biology at the University of the Pacific since 2009. He got a Bachelor in Chemistry from the College of Wooster in Ohio and a Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Duke University.  His research focuses on genes involved in stress response pathways and apoptosis using zebrafish as a model organism.  He teaches a variety of classes at UOP including general biology\, genetics\, biochemistry\, pharmacology\, cell biology\, cancer biology\, and molecular biology. \n Amy Weiser has been teaching AP Environmental Science and Biology at Lincoln High since 2017. She has also taught sixth and fourth grade. In addition\, Amy has worked as a wildlife biologist for the California Audubon Workinglands Group conducting Tricolored Blackbirds population counts and shorebird studies in the Grasslands near Merced. Amy also worked for 9 years as an environmental consultant on Avian Mortality studies on the Altamont Wind Resource Area. Amy taught outdoor education at Micke Grove zoo\, Tulare County Outdoor Education\, Mission Springs in Santa Cruz\, Point Reyes Summer Science Camp\, Camp Arroyo in Livermore\, and Anglican Youth Works in the Royal National Park (NSW\, Australia).  Amy has a Bachelor’s degree in Zoology from the University of California\, Davis\, and a Master’s Degree in Environmental Literacy from the Teachers College of San Joaquin.

SUMMARY:Birds of Papua New Guniea (PNG) with a Brief but Complex History of the Region and a Sprinkling of Australian Birds
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Chris Conard \nIn August 2022\, Chris joined a group largely composed of Sacramento/San Joaquin-based birders to Papua New Guinea (PNG)\, which comprises the eastern half of the world’s second largest island. We had a wonderful time viewing and listening to perhaps the most spectacular avifauna on earth\, including the incomparable birds of paradise\, bowerbirds\, crowned pigeons\, and paradise-kingfishers to name but a few. The tour ranged from the humid\, leech-infested lowlands to cool\, mossy forests over ten thousand feet in elevation\, and wrapped up on the volcano-strewn island of New Britain in the Bismarck Sea. PNG is both magnificent and fraught. It is also one of the most ethnically complex regions of the world\, with a history of human settlement of over fifty thousand years; twenty percent of the world’s languages developed on the island. The capital\, Port Moresby\, is perennially listed among the ten most violent cities in the world. There is palpable tribal tension in the highlands and shocking poverty in the lowlands. Yet\, the local guides were wonderfully helpful and proud to show some of the highlights of their country. If all that wasn’t enough\, most of the group spent five days in Australia before heading home.Chris Conard is a Natural Resource Specialist at the Bufferlands in Sacramento County. He regularly leads field trips for Sacramento Audubon\, serves as a county editor for eBird\, and is a past president of the Central Valley Bird Club.
