SUMMARY:Action Hour: Defending the Endangered Species Act
DESCRIPTION:Action Hour: Defending the Endangered Species Act\nWhen:  April 14\, 5pm \nWhere: Virtual \nREGISTER HERE! \nThis spring\, the Sierra Club’s Conservation Campaign is launching an engaging webinar series that brings you inside the most urgent conservation fights happening right now. You’ll get the inside scoop on the issues\, hear from experts\, and discover simple\, meaningful ways you can take action and make a real difference. \nThe Endangered Species Act is the last line of defense for species facing extinction like the gray wolf\, grizzly bear\, salmon\, and orca. Yet Trump and his allies in Congress are trying to undermine or completely erase this landmark legislation. Since being signed into law by President Nixon in the 1970s\, the Endangered Species Act has been a tremendous success\, restoring the populations of wildlife on the brink of extinction and providing a model to restore biodiversity across the globe. Join Sierra Club to learn about current threats to the Endangered Species Act\, what we’re doing about them\, and how you can help.

SUMMARY:Attract the Birds You Want with Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Attract the Birds You Want with Native Plants\nWhen: April 8\, 12pm-1pm \nWhere: Virtual \nREGISTER HERE! \nAre you eager to see a specific bird in your landscape? Curious about how to attract Black-capped Chickadees\, American Goldfinches\, or Broad-tailed Hummingbirds to your yard? \nJoin us on April 8 to learn about the importance of bird-plant relationships\, what specific bird species need from plants\, and how to support these birds in your landscape. \nDuring this one-hour webinar\, we’ll discuss which native plants best sustain various bird species throughout the seasons. These plants provide not just food but also vital cover\, roosts\, and nesting materials and sites. Finally\, we will guide you through using the Audubon Native Plants Database to discover more native plants for your area and the birds they attract. \nA recording of the event will be provided to all registrants within two weeks of the event.

SUMMARY:Intersecting Birds\, Science\, and Art
DESCRIPTION:Intersecting Birds\, Science\, and Art\nWhen: Jan 27\, 7:15pm-8:45pm \nWhere: Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder \nLEARN MORE HERE! \nWhat do art\, science\, and eBird sightings all have in common?\nJoin us for an engaging presentation by Dr. Johanna Beam\, who will share her journey from teen naturalist to research scientist and scientific illustrator. Johanna will explore how eBird data are used by scientists and artists alike\, including how these data have helped illuminate species’ ranges and evolutionary history—highlighted through the Yellow-breasted Chat and the discovery of the Chihuahuan Meadowlark. \nDr. Beam is a postdoctoral research fellow at Colorado State University and Texas Tech University\, working with the Bird Genoscape Project. Her research focuses on evolutionary genomics in birds\, and she is also an accomplished scientific illustrator. As a high school student\, Johanna’s careful observation of an unusual meadowlark led to a genetic study that ultimately contributed to the recognition of a new bird species added to the official North American species list in 2022. \nIn-Person Program\nBCAS is pleased to welcome everyone back to in-person programs at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder. Doors open at 6:30 PM for socializing with light refreshments\, and the program begins at 7:15 PM. Masks are optional; free surgical masks will be available. Please stay home if you are feeling sick. \nAn FM hearing assistive system is available in the Earth room where BCAS programs are held. The receivers and headsets for these can typically be found in a basket on the table to the right as you enter the double doors to the Earth room. There are four receivers of this type. They are fed sound directly from the sound system and the user can control the volume themselves. More information on how to use these systems –  links to  https://centerforhearingaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/How-to-use-assistive-listening-systems.pdf?t=1768882810  \nOnline Program (Zoom)\nThe Zoom meeting room opens at 7:10 PM\, with the program beginning at 7:15 PM. Questions for the speaker will be taken through the chat feature. The zoom like will be posted here on the day of the event Intersecting Birds\, Science\, and Art — Boulder County Audubon. \nWe hope you’ll join us for this unique evening at the intersection of birding\, science\, and art.

This unprecedented transformation will have profound impacts on polar ecosystems\, affecting life from phytoplankton to penguins and\, ultimately\, people. \nIn this NSF NCAR Explorer Series lecture\, Dr. Kristen Krumhardt and Dr. Alice DuVivier explore how Earth System Models (ESMs) are used to investigate polar ecosystem change. They also discuss possible implications for people and animals in these regions and policy considerations to help protect vulnerable ecosystems. \nFree public event recommended for ages 12+ \nFor more information and to watch archived lectures\, visit the NSF NCAR Explorer Series webpage. \nWe look forward to seeing you there!
