SUMMARY:Bird Banding with Adam McCosham
DESCRIPTION:No matter if you are learning to ID birds\, or want to learn how they nest or how they migrate\, one way to learn more is to observe a bird banding session. Bird banding is the practice of safely applying a band or tag to part of the bird\, usually the leg\, for data collection and individual identification. Banding birds allows researchers to learn the migration patterns\, life span\, breeding territory\, and feeding areas of different bird species. Identifying these patterns and behaviors within bird populations plays a critical role in designing and implementing conservation programs for different species of birds. \nBut not just anyone can place bands on birds; you must have the required permits and approvals. Banding offers an intimate glimpse into the behavior of birds. Join us for this interactive outdoor program for a chance to watch bander Adam McCosham in action\, while getting a chance to see various bird species up close and personal. You will learn how to identify birds in the hand as well as see how bird banders age\, weigh and sex the birds as well as how they affix the band. \nAdam is currently a Conservation and Parks Manager with the Great Parks of Hamilton County. With a degree in Natural Resource Management\, Adam has spent the last four years training to band birds and loves passing on his knowledge of natural history to others. Free\, RSVP required.

SUMMARY:Lighting up the Shadows: An Illuminating Look at Fireflies with Matthew Speights
DESCRIPTION:Catching fireflies on warm\, summer nights was a favorite part of my childhood. I learned that male fireflies flashed and glowed to find a mate\, but I never knew there were hundreds of kinds of fireflies\, including ones that were poisonous\, venomous pack hunters\, mimics\, or even cannibals! \nJoin me\, Matthew Speights\, to discover the hidden world of fireflies and the amazing diversity of their species\, behaviors\, and lifestyles. We’ll discover the strategies fireflies use to survive snow\, avoid predators like bats\, or share information as they flash with yellow\, green\, and even orange lights. In the process\, we’ll learn why fireflies are disappearing\, what their environmental needs are\, and what we can do to help them survive. \nBonus: Get a preview of the Spring Treetop Flasher\, the first glowing firefly of Spring\, that we will hike to see. Meet at Kirby Nature Preserve\, 2 East Main Street in Addyston\, Ohio. Free\, RSVP as space is limited.
