Sotterley Presents: Saving Grassland Birds in Sotterley's Hayfields
2023-09-13 19:00 | Historic Sotterley, 44300 Sotterley Lane, Hollywood, MD, 20636, United States
Presentation (In Person)
Speaker: DAVID MOULTON, founder of Saving Southern Maryland’s Grassland Birds
David will discuss the role Historic Sotterley has played in finding ways to bale hay while trying not to harm baby birds at the
same time. Some of our most beloved species of grassland birds, such as the Eastern Meadowlark, nest only in large hay fields during May and June – often conflicting directly with the spring hay harvest. What can be done? With Sotterley’s property manager, Joe Goldsmith, David has undertaken a series of experiments to demonstrate that by altering harvest techniques, timing and patterns, Southern Maryland hay farmers can often maintain their haying operations while significantly increasing the reproductive success of the birds. He will outline their findings and share ideas about maintaining our agricultural heritage and conserving our threatened wildlife.
This event will be in-person only. We request that you register in advance: Register for FREE Here!

Winter Warblers
2023-11-01 19:00 - 20:00 | Zoom Meeting
Monthly Meeting Program via Zoom
Speaker: CODY KENT, Assistant Professor of Quantitative Vertebrate Biology, Frostburg State University
New World warbler beauty and diversity has long fascinated birders and scientists. Their spring arrival begins the height of bird activity across most of North America. But much of their time is spent wintering in southern latitudes, particularly in the Caribbean where concentrated warbler diversity reaches its zenith. Research over the last two decades has shed more light on the importance of wintering conditions for their survival and nesting success. Dr. Kent will discuss our current understanding of warbler population biology in the Caribbean including foraging behavior, distribution and interactions with other species. Dr. Kent completed a Ph.D. at Tulane University where he began research on wintering Caribbean warblers. His current research includes examining how small-scale land management actions impact bird diversity within Washington DC and large-scale studies of how human activities impact niche diversity in warblers across the United States.

Tiger Salamander Restoration in Maryland
2023-12-06 19:00 - 20:00 | Zoom Meeting
Monthly Meeting Program via Zoom, Saving the Salamanders
Speaker: KEVIN STOHLGREN, Regional Heritage Program biologist for the Maryland
Department of Natural Resources (MD DNR) – Note: speaker change from Ms. Schlimm.

The MD DNR has been working for years to reverse the decline of tiger salamanders, which can grow to over a foot in length in Delmarva wetlands. Beth will discuss how wetland biologists have helped restore numerous Delmarva bays by returning hydrology and vegetation to natural conditions favorable to increasing tiger salamander breeding. Although still endangered in Maryland, these efforts are bearing fruit with an increase in salamander populations over the past few years. Beth has worked for MD DNR since 2016. She is a conservation specialist whose primary responsibilities include monitoring and habitat restoration efforts for rare, threatened and endangered reptiles and amphibians.

Think Like a Raven: Monthly Meeting Zoom Talk
2024-02-07 19:00 - 20:00
Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024. 7-8 p.m. ZOOM
Common Ravens were identified as a breeding species for the first time ever in Charles County last year and sightings are becoming more frequent. Dr. John Marsluff, a professor at the University of Washington College of the Environment and a top authority on Ravens, will discuss his fascinating research in Yellowstone Park. His work provides insight on what we can expect from Ravens as they expand their range in Southern Maryland.
Dr. Marsluff studies the impact of habitat change, fragmentation and increased urbanization on birds. He focuses primarily on corvids, but has worked with falcons and hawks throughout the world. He is the author of several science books about crows, including his most recent “Gifts of the Crow.” He has been awarded the HR Peyton award from the Cooper Ornithological Society as well as the the Washington state book award for general non-fiction.

Safe Skies-How we can protect birds from window collisions: Monthly Zoom Meeting
2024-03-06 19:00
March 6, 2024. 7-8 p.m. Zoom.
An estimated 1 billion birds die every year in window collisions. Safe Skies Maryland was created to empower citizens to learn more about this major threat to birds and how to prevent it. Dr. Mark Southerland, director of Safe Skies Maryland, will provide solutions for how you can stop bird collisions with your home windows, as well as how you can get involved in community efforts to equip public buildings with bird-safe windows.
Dr. Southerland earned a PhD in ecology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and works as an environmental consultant supporting the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. He also leads the legislative program of Safe Skies Maryland campaign for bird safe buildings laws at county, city and state levels.
