DOS May Meeting: "Supporting Backyard Birds with Native Plants" by Leah Brooks
2023-05-17 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York)
From fruiting shrubs to seed-bearing wildflowers, native plants provide shelter and forage that are essential to our local birds. Take an in-depth look at how plants that add seasonal interest to the home garden also serve as lifelines for our feathered friends. Join Leah Brooks as she explores the intricate connections between native plants and the animals that have evolved alongside them.

45th Annual Beginner's Shorebird Field Trip!
2023-07-29 08:00 - 12:00
Shorebirds for Beginners at Bombay Hook!

Delaware Ornithological Society (DOS) is sponsoring a Beginner’s Shorebird Field Trip on Saturday, July 29th, at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Smyrna, Delaware. This will be a Half Day trip – tailored for beginners, and is the 45th 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.

We 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.

Refuge fees are in effect – $4 per car, or free entry with a 2023-2024 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 the DOS Bird-a-Thon!

Trip leader is Bob Rufe – rrufe1@aol.com – please email Bob to let him know you’re planning to participate, or if you have any questions. A few “loaner” binoculars will be available, please contact leader to request if needed.More information on Bombay Hook NWR is available at https://www.fws.gov/refuge/Bombay_Hook/

DOS September Meeting: "What's new with avian flu" by Joe Francis
2023-09-20 19:00 - 21:00
Summary: Avian influenza was identified as a viral disease of poultry and wildfowl over a century ago. Researchers have tracked it among migratory bird populations in the Delaware Bay for decades. But never has it had the public’s attention as in the last few years. Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza has caused havoc on the commercial poultry industry and raised the specter of the next pandemic. Threats to wild bird populations are further concerns. How worried should Delaware birders be? Come and hear the latest from scientific and public health studies about the impact of bird flu on wild birds, the likelihood of spread among humans and other mammals, and the critical role of ecosystem health in mitigating harm.

Joe is a public health physician, a birder for over 40 years, and a frequent volunteer at the Ashland Hawk Watch. Joe earned his medical degree at Washington University in St Louis and completed his residency in Internal Medicine and Fellowship in Geriatrics at the University of Pittsburgh. There he obtained a master’s in public health in Chronic Disease Epidemiology and conducted NIH-funded research on delirium in older patients. He currently serves as the Executive Director for the Office of Analytics and Performance Integration in the Office of Quality and Patient Safety (QPS) for the Department of Veterans Affairs. Joe will be retiring next year and has graciously volunteered to be the next President of DOS starting in July 2024.

We may also see muskrat, beaver, and possibly river otter as well. Thanks to regular pedestrian traffic and security patrols from the Wilmington Riverfront, this has been a very safe area even in the waning daylight. Those interested in more information may contact Joe at jfrancismd@verizon.net.

DOS November Meeting: "Birding Italy: the truth behind the rumors!" by Marco Valtriani
2023-11-15 19:00 - 21:00
Italy surprises and delights you, whether you’re a serious observer or a casual birdwatcher. The old rumor, “Nothing to see but House Sparrows,” is completely wrong, and more and more visiting birders are having their eyes opened to the more than 550 species that call the peninsula home, from waterfowl to songbirds. Italy preserves a wide range of natural habitats due the different biogeographic, geomorphologic and climatic conditions. The millennial relationship between humans and nature has been a crucial factor for the extreme complexity of environments and landscapes. More than 20% of the Italian territory is protected thanks to the well managed National Parks, Nature Reserve and Natura 2000 sites.

Marco will give you a first taste, not of Pasta and Chianti but of the most interesting birding areas and species.

Marco is a free lance biologist and nature guide with extensive experience in scientific research and ecotourism. He lives in Tuscany with his family. He is a passionate hiker, birder, and field researcher who has spent years exploring wild areas in Italy and around the world, from Europe to Africa, Asia, and Southern America.

Working as a professional birding guide and tour planner, he has created and leaded birding tours for international tour companies and private travelers. He has collaborated in environmental impact studies, scientific wildlife surveys, and educational efforts in ecology and environmental issues and has guided nature lovers since 1999 in Italy and abroad. He has have written scientific papers and articles on the birds and natural landscapes of central Italy, and co-authored guides to Tuscany’s natural habitats, trails, and wildlife.His binoculars and scope always follow him when he travels, during bird migration camps and, of course, on his excursions.
