SUMMARY:Dragonflies
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 8\n7:00 – 9:00 PM\nSpeakers: Kathy Biggs and Sandra von Arb\nEvent is free. Register HERE for this speaker series. \nTopic:\nLearn about the colorful and interesting Dragonflies and their unique biology with enthusiast Kathy Biggs and field biologist Sandra von Arb. These co-authors of Dragonflies (Anisoptera) of California will teach about the 47 species that occur here\, how to identify them and present what the Dragonflies need for survival\, where to find them and their migratory habits. Seeing these colorful beauties on your screen will be a delight. \nSpeaker Bios:\nKathy Biggs has been a nature lover all her life. When she built a wildlife pond in the backyard in 1996\, dragonflies arrived and she found her true passion. Wanting to share her passion\, she developed websites for her wildlife ponds\, and those matured into her authoring California’s first Dragonfly Guide\, Common Dragonflies of California\, as well as other publications. \nShe manages the eGroup CalOdes and is a member of several other Odonate groups\, and tracks flight data and distribution for California and the greater southwest. \nSandra von Arb has been a professional wildlife biologist for 30 years\, focusing on sensitive and endangered species in northern California\, southern Oregon\, and northern Illinois. She is a co-founder of Biodiversity Education and Research Foundation\, whose mission is to foster ecological stewardship through science and education.

SUMMARY:Phalaropes in the Big City: Can Human Habitats Help Save the Birds of America's Saline Lakes?
DESCRIPTION:Phalaropes in the Big City: Can Human Habitats Help Save the Birds of America’s Saline Lakes?\nThursday\, February 12\n7:00-9:00 PM\nSpeaker: Nathan Van Schmidt\nEvent is free. Register HERE for this speaker series. \nTopic:\nWilson’s Phalaropes and Red-necked Phalaropes are exceptionally unique shorebirds that specialize in hypersaline habitats. Nathan will discuss the challenges facing phalaropes within the San Francisco Bay and across their intercontinental migration. He will discuss monitoring data within the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project\, how saline lakes like California’s Mono Lake have declined under the pressure of unstainable water withdrawal and climate change and key research questions and next steps that the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory (SFBBO) plans to address these conservation science needs. \nSpeaker Bio:\nNathan Van Schmidt is the Director of Regional Strategies at SFBBO. He obtained his B.S. from University of Wisconsin – Madison and his Ph.D. at U.C. Berkeley. He currently leads monitoring and research on non-breeding waterbird guilds\, colonial waterbird breeding activity\, waterbird disease and abatement research\, and is the Lead Author of the Central Coast Regional Report for California’s Fifth Climate Change Assessment. \nPhoto Credit: Don Dvorak

SUMMARY:Bluebirds in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Bluebirds in the 21st Century\nThursday\, March 12\nSpeakers: Georgette Howington and Mike Azevedo\nEvent is free. Register HERE for this speaker series. \nTopic:\nThroughout history\, the bluebird has been iconic in many cultures\, inspiring art\, music\, poetry\, songs and mythology. Tonight\, we invite you to learn about bluebirds and how they are an indicator of ecosystem health\, as well as their important place in the ecosystem\, where they are incredibly effective at controlling insect populations. Also\, we will discuss how conservation efforts such as nest box programs have stabilized their populations in North America. \nSpeaker Bios:\nGeorgette Howington is State Co-Director of the California Bluebird Recovery Program and has been a nest box monitor for 25 nesting seasons. She is a certified Horticulturist and UC Davis Naturalist of the Mt. Diablo Region. Her affiliation as a conservationist includes membership in Mt. Diablo Bird Alliance. \nMike Azevedo is co-director for the California Bluebird Recovery Program. Mike has a Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife Management and has been a wildlife enthusiast for four decades\, serving as a naturalist and park ranger. He works with several Audubon Societies in the South Bay. \nPhoto Credit: Rajesh Ramani \n

SUMMARY:Adelie Penguins: Their Past\, Present and Future in a Changing Antarctica
DESCRIPTION:Adelie Penguins: Their Past\, Present and Future in a Changing Antarctica\nThursday\, April 9\nSpeaker: Grant Ballard\nEvent is free. Register HERE for this speaker series. \nTopic:\nPoint Blue Conservation Science has monitored the Adelie penguins of Antarctica for decades\, witnessing firsthand the profound effects of climate change\, including the recent\, rapid decline in Ross Sea ice that is now threatening their survival.  Grant will share recent research made possible by their advanced technology and extensive\, multi-decade datasets\, including new findings into the evolutionary past of penguins\, and will show how comparing their ancient history with their current condition and challenges can teach us about the unique and globally important Southern Ocean ecosystem. \nSpeaker Bio:\nGrant joined Point Blue as a volunteer in 1991 and is currently Chief Science Officer\, responsible for overall leadership and coordination of Point Blue’s scientific activities.
