SUMMARY:Barred Owls
DESCRIPTION:Ornithologist Rob Bierregaard’s virtual illustrated talk focuses on the Barred Owl.\nFor over a decade\, Rob’s research team studied the thriving population of Barred Owls that live in the Charlotte\, NC\, suburbs and surrounding countryside. A remarkable 300 pairs of Barred Owls live within 10 miles of downtown Charlotte. He and his graduate students\, along with a small flock of undergrads\, followed as many as 25 pairs of owls each spring and summer. They tracked dozens of owls to measure their home ranges and the dispersal of young. They installed video cameras in nest boxes and recorded the delivery of over 1\,600 prey items. Rob will discuss what he learned about how and why Barred Owls have done so well in suburbia and give a general overview of how the species is doing across North America. \nSunday\, July 11\, 2021. \nTime: 4-5 p.m. \nVirtual Program.

SUMMARY:Uprooted: A Gardener Reflects on Beginning Again
DESCRIPTION:Virtual illustrated lecture by acclaimed garden author Page Dickey.\nPage Dickey \nPage has been gardening passionately since her early twenties\, and writing about gardening\, as well as designing gardens for others\, for the last three decades. She has written eight books and edited another. Most of her books concentrate on aspects of garden design such as creating gardens that reflect their settings. Her latest book is: Uprooted: A Gardener Reflects on Beginning Again. \nPage Dickey knew the transitions she faced walking away from her celebrated garden at Duck Hill after thirty-four years. What surprised her were the happy opportunities that came with starting over. Uprooted follows Dickey’s evolution from old to new\, cultivated to wild\, and from one type of gardener to another. It is a story for anyone who has had to begin anew—in gardening or in life. \nSunday\, July 18\, 2021. \nTime: 4 p.m. \nVirtual Program. \nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nJoin Virtual Talk

SUMMARY:Vernal Pools
DESCRIPTION:This illustrated talk by Bruce Fellman focuses on amazing life in the temporary wetlands known as vernal pools.\nSunday\, July 25\, 2021 \nTime: 4 p.m. \nVirtual Program + In-person (SEATING LIMITED TO 35 PEOPLE)\nTo guarantee a seat\, please register in advance: fimuseum@fishersisland.net or call 631-788-7239. Please note that masks are required for attendees. \nA Look at the Remarkable Life of a Part-time Pond\nVernal pools are magical and temporary fresh water wetlands that serve as both single’s bars and nurseries for a variety of frogs\, salamanders\, and invertebrates\, all of which have evolved to prosper in a pond that\, for at least a portion of the year\, will become a dry hole. The part-time nature of these vernal pools\, rules out the presence of fish\, and their absence\, along with the habitat’s impermanence\, sets the stage for a fascinating cast of hardy animals and plants\, some of them found only in the vernal pool environment. In this virtual program\, we’ll meet the animals and plants that thrive in temporary waters. With increasing development and the rapid change in our climate\, we’ll also chart the uncertain future of these wondrous places and leave plenty of time for questions. \nEnvironmental photojournalist\, naturalist\, and teacher Bruce Fellman has spent more than half-a-century getting his feet wet as he documents the vernal pool environment. He’s written about these habitats and the scientists who study them for such magazines as Smithsonian\, National Wildlife\, and the Yale Alumni Magazine\, where Fellman served as managing editor until his retirement several years ago\, as well as in his syndicated weekly natural history column\, “A Naturalist’s Journal\,” which has been a fixture in area newspapers since 1978. He also offers popular classes through local schools and conservation organizations on temporary pond ecology and conservation. \nJoin online webinarPhotos © Bruce Fellman
