SUMMARY:Climate Change in Autumn: Fruit Availability for Migrant Birds
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Amanda Gallinat is an ecologist who studies how environmental change affects plants\, birds\, and their interactions. Her recent research focuses on the effects of climate change on the timing of seasonal biological events in the northeast\, including fruit ripening and bird migration\, and how these climate-driven changes alter food availability for birds in autumn. \nAmanda’s research incorporates the historical field notes of Henry David Thoreau\, long-term bird banding records\, museum specimens\, and field observations\, and her work has been featured by National Audubon Society\, the Wildlife Society\, and American Scientist. Amanda has a B.A. from Carleton College and a PhD from Boston University\, and she is currently a postdoctoral research fellow at Utah State University. \nInstead of in-person meetings\, SMAS is hosting virtual lectures using Zoom.

SUMMARY:Mystical Monarchs: Migration and Conservation of the Monarch Butterfly
DESCRIPTION:Join our very own Mike Callahan to learn about the migration and conservation of Monarch butterflies! These amazing insects migrate up to 2\,000 miles between their wintering grounds in Mexico and their breeding grounds in the United States and Canada. But over the last twenty years\, the eastern population has suffered an 80 percent decline. Learn what is being done\, and what you can do\, to help them. \nMike is a naturalist and co-chairman of Cobb Island’s annual Monarch Mania butterfly festival. He has been tagging Monarchs as part of a community science project during the fall migration for more than ten years. \nInstead of in-person meetings this fall\, Southern Maryland Audubon Society is hosting virtual lectures using Zoom. We will send invitations via email with a link for joining each online event. If you do not get our Osprey newsletter via email\, you need to sign up first.
