SUMMARY:DOS November Meeting: "Use of a Delaware Bayshore marsh hummock by songbirds during migration" by Kitt Heckscher
DESCRIPTION:A citizen science project in the early 1990s identified the Delaware Bayshore marsh hummocks and barrier islands as an important stopover region for migratory songbirds. No further study of songbird stopover ecology has taken place along the Delaware Bayshore. In 2020\, the Heckscher Lab at Delaware State University initiated a two-year pilot study to further investigate songbird stopover ecology along the Delaware Bayshore. DOS member Kitt Heckscher will discuss preliminary results of this ongoing investigation and will reveal the bayshore’s potential role as a critical migratory stopover region for north and southbound migrants. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Christopher (Kitt) Heckscher is Associate Professor of Environmental Science & Ecology at Delaware State University and the Institutional Project Director of the NOAA EPP Environmental Cooperative Science Center at DSU. \n\n\n\nHis lab’s research includes the effect of sea level rise and climate change on coastal stopover sites for migratory birds\, as well as long-term studies of the behavioral ecology and migratory connectivity of Veerys. Dr. Heckscher is also an expert on the inventory and conservation of rare terrestrial and wetland-associated invertebrates especially Lampyridae (fireflies)\, Odonata (damselflies and dragonflies)\, and Lepidoptera (butterflies\, skippers\, moths [esp. Catocalaand Papaipema]). He has extensive experience in zoological assessments of Mid-Atlantic natural areas and in conducting field research specifically aimed at providing data for informed land management decisions. \n\n\n\nPreviously\, he served as Delaware’s State Zoologist for 12 years for The Nature Conservancy and Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife\, where he initiated\, developed\, and maintained the Delaware state zoological database and conducted field inventories of rare species. Kitt also has 9 years of experience as a zoologist for The Nature Conservancy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe meeting is held online via Zoom software. \n\n\n\nMembers will receive an email with Zoom login info prior to the meeting.  If you are not a member and would like to attend\, please use the button below to request login info which is available a few days before the meeting.   \n\n\n\nWe look forward to ‘seeing’ you soon! \n\n\n\n\nRequest Zoom Login

SUMMARY:43rd Annual Beginner's Shorebird Field Trip!
DESCRIPTION:Shorebirds for Beginners at Bombay Hook!\n\n\n\nDelaware Ornithological Society (DOS) is sponsoring a Beginner’s Shorebird Field Trip on Saturday\, July 24\, at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge\, Smyrna\, Delaware. This will be a Half Day trip – tailored for beginners\, and is the 43rd consecutive outing for this popular field trip. “Par” is 15 species of shorebirds\, usually a challenging goal\, because arrival dates\, water levels and weather conditions all change year to year.  Emphasis is on basics of shorebird identification for beginners\, although there are always several experienced birders to assist. Pace is slow – everyone should see each shorebird species satisfactorily. While this is not a photography workshop\, our slow pace allows for photographic experimentation and networking. There will be some “prizes” awarded for categories not yet determined! Drinks and snacks advised\, as well as sunscreen\, bug spray and a hat. An optional\, informal tally luncheon is usually held following the trip at a local eatery.  \n\n\n\nWe meet in the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge Visitor’s Center parking lot in Smyrna\, DE at 8 a.m. and wrap up by noon. \n\n\n\nRefuge fees are in effect – $4 per car\, or free entry with a 2021-2022 season duck stamp (or other special passes). This would be a fine opportunity to recycle your lightly used\, expired prior season duck stamp(s) – Donate it/them to support DOS Bird-a-Thon!  \n\n\n\nTrip leader is Bob Rufe – rrufe1@aol.com – if you have questions.  A few “loaner” binoculars will be available\, please contact leader to request if needed.More information on DOS is available at the society’s website – DOSBirds.orgMore information on Bombay Hook NWR is available at https://www.fws.gov/refuge/Bombay_Hook/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://tinyurl.com/sz4bt9cx

SUMMARY:DOS June Meeting: "What's new about birds on the move? Recent research from the Aeroecology Program at the University of Delaware" by Jeff Buler
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Buler will share highlights of recent and ongoing research by his lab and colleagues in the field of aeroecology; the study of the ecology of flying animals aloft. He will talk about how he uses radar and telemetry technologies to make new discoveries into 1) why and where birds stopover when migrating through the Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes regions\, 2) how waterfowl in the Delmarva peninsula may play a role for avian influenza transmission risk to poultry\, and 3) the movement and roosting ecology of Purple Martins in our region.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Jeff Buler was recently elected to the DOS Council. He received his B.A. from St. Mary’s College where he studied biology.  He went on to study nesting songbirds for his M.S. research at Louisiana State University and stopover ecology of songbirds using a variety of methods including weather surveillance radar for his dissertation research at The University of Southern Mississippi.  In 2011\, he joined the faculty at the University of Delaware. Jeff is an international leader in the discovery of novel methods to expand scientific knowledge within the young field of aeroecology focused on the basic and applied ecology of organisms that inhabit the atmosphere.  His current research focuses on radar biology\, avian ecology and migration\, landscape ecology\, and conservation biology.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe meeting is held online via Zoom software. \n\n\n\nMembers will receive an email with Zoom login info prior to the meeting.  If you are not a member and would like to attend\, please use the button below to request login info which is available a few days before the meeting.   \n\n\n\nWe look forward to ‘seeing’ you soon! \n\n\n\n\nRequest Zoom Login

SUMMARY:DOS May Meeting: "Crash Course in Wildlife Photography" by Josh Ward
DESCRIPTION:Program Description:Have you ever looked at the work of the famous National Geographic photographers and wondered just how on Earth they manage to do what they do? Well\, I don’t claim to be NatGeo caliber\, but in this program we will take a look at all the general themes\, tips\, and tricks of being a wildlife photographer. We will jump into a rapid crash course about wildlife photography\, covering the ways to find and observe wildlife\, techniques for photography\, and how to use camera settings properly. Photography is a wonderful way to record what you might come across when you’re outdoors\, and it’s far easier to get into it than you might think! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJosh is currently a rising senior in Wildlife Conservation at Virginia Tech. He has been obsessed with the natural world since he could first walk and talk — everything from birds to bugs and frogs to bats. He has become an avid birder\, herper\, and all-around naturalist in the past several years Five years ago he began his path into the world of photography and hasn’t looked back since. He plans on pursuing a career in either writing about his experiences in nature or becoming a wildlife photographer full time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe meeting is held online via Zoom software. \n\n\n\nMembers will receive an email with Zoom login info prior to the meeting.  If you are not a member and would like to attend\, please use the button below to request login info which is available a few days before the meeting.   \n\n\n\nWe look forward to ‘seeing’ you soon! \n\n\n\n\nRequest Zoom Login
