SUMMARY:Lakeland Christmas Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:What is a Christmas Bird Count? \nThe longest running Citizen Science survey in the world\, Christmas Bird Counts provide critical data on bird population trends. Tens of thousands of participants know that it also a lot of fun. Families and students\, birders and scientists\, armed with binoculars\, bird guides and checklists go out on an annual mission\, often before dawn\, to count every bird they can find in their territory of the count circle – owls\, rails\, sparrows\, herons\, shorebirds\, warblers\, hawks\, eagle\, blackbirds… every type of bird. Audubon and other organizations use data collected to help guide conservation action. \nHow can I get involved? \nWe need feeder-watchers and field observers. Birders of all ability levels are welcome. Field observers can join a team covering a portion of the count circle by car\, foot and/or boat. Just email Cole Fredericks cfredricks@tampabay.rr.com and we will be in touch to find the best fit for you. Explore the interactive count circle map here. \nChristmas Bird Count | Audubon https://www.audubon.org/conservation/science/christmas-bird-count \nSponsored by the Lake Region Audubon

SUMMARY:Snail Kites in Florida
DESCRIPTION:The Everglades Snail Kite is a bird of prey\, similar to a hawk\, that eats only snails. After draining the Everglades\, their population plummeted. Our speaker will explain the relationship between the Everglades Snail Kite and an introduced\, non-native snail species which may have saved the snail kite from extinction.\n \nSpeaker Bio: Robert J. Fletcher Jr. is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation at the University of Florida. He is the principal investigator for the snail kite monitoring program. He is a big fan of laughter\, critical thinking\, and integrating diverse perspectives into ecology\, conservation\, and management.\n\nThe Friends of Boyd Hill Nature Preserve and the St. Petersburg Parks and Recreation Department present the annual Natural History Speaker Series (NHSS)\, a program that offers fascinating presentations on the natural and cultural history of Florida by individuals who are authorities in their fields. NHSS programs are offered the second Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. at Hammock Hall\, Boyd Hill Nature Preserve.
