1 Volume 1 Issue 7 October 2017 Birding Club of Sun City Editor s Roost Inside: Vera Markham kindly shares her nature photos
2 Editor s Roost Welcome to the 2nd season of our fledgling club. I m really excited about meeting the new members who are joining our club! Vera Markham, has provided some of her wonderful flora and fauna photos. See them on our cover, and featured inside on pages 1, 2, and 3. I m looking forward to our first meeting on October 11th, 10 am, at the Bell Center. A list of all of our meeting times, as well as directions to the Bell Center Multi Purpose Room appear at the end of this newsletter. Our meeting runs from 10 am to just past 11 am if necessary. At about 11am or so there is an Intro to Birding class which is open to all levels. Please me to sign up so I know how many handouts to have on hand. Bring your field guide and binoculars if you have any. Use of binoculars and field guides will be covered in the class. Meeting Agenda: We would like to collect $5 dues each, which will cover membership until November Our dues are used for printing costs for flyers, handouts for classes, refreshments, and possibly field guides for classes. Although you may have your own guide, having the same guide for classes facilitates the learning process. Different guides are, well, different. Currently we have 3 club officers and would like to add 1 or 2 more. We will answer any questions pertaining to the club and discuss car pooling. One of the initiatives we have is to ask for field guides and binoculars as donations for new members or guests that don t have them. Please feel free to submit information that is of interest for our newsletter. It could be educational, an account of a trip you have taken, or just something funny about the fabulous world of birds. submit to: locascio2000@hotmail.com
3 Vera s avian photos See how many of the 9 birds you can ID on the next 2 pages. Answers on page a 4 3 2b 2c
4 How many of our members have bird photos to share? Is there any interest in learning about bird photography? A photo of a bird that proved difficult to ID in the field often reveals itself when you research it at home or consult others. Answers to bird ID quiz on page
5 Clockwise from upper left: Common Buckeye on Water Lily Tarantula Hawk Wasp Blanket Flower Variegated Fritillary
6 Answers to the 9 bird quiz 1) Black Phoebe 2) Black-necked Stilt 3) Horned Lark 4) Killdeer 5) Summer Tanager 6) Red-tailed Hawk 7) Red-winged Blackbird 11 8) Blue Grosbeak 9) Western Bluebird 10 Bonus answers My first optically enhanced bird photo 10) Eurasian Blue Tit 11) European Robin 12) Munich House Sparrow I was inspired by the Green Heron photo taken by Dotti, that graces our web page and ads. It made me think that I ve been missing out on the optically zoomed, image stabilized, bird photography experience. In the nineties I purchased an adapter for my Olympus OM-1 to work with my Kowa spotting scope. That OM-1 was destroyed by a fall and I have not tried bird photography since. 12 To remedy this I have just purchased a Sony DSC-HX80 that has a 30X optical Zeiss lens and 18.2 Megapixels to play with. The picture on the left, a ubiquitous sparrow that cooperated with me, has become my first humble effort. I am anxious to try again on our first trip of the season to the Glendale recharge ponds on Thursday the 12th at 9 am. See the trip list on page 7 for more info. Tom-

Boyce Thompson Arboretum - guided walks- dates below This trip requires a $12.50 entrance fee per person and a minimum of 6 hrs. of your time, and it is well worth it.

9 Getting around in ebird.org Global tools for birders, critical data for science Record the birds you see Keep track of your bird lists Explore dynamic maps and graphs Share your sightings and join the ebird community Contribute to science and conservation Overview Copied from ebird.org about page. On the next page, I will show you an example of how I use ebird to get a current view of what species might be at a hot spot. Explore all the other features to find something that is interesting to you! A real-time, online checklist program, ebird has revolutionized the way that the birding community reports and accesses information about birds. Launched in 2002 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society, ebird provides rich data sources for basic information on bird abundance and distribution at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. ebird s goal is to maximize the utility and accessibility of the vast numbers of bird observations made each year by recreational and professional bird watchers. It is amassing one of the largest and fastest growing biodiversity data resources in existence. For example, in May 2015, participants reported more than 9.5 million bird observations across the world! The observations of each participant join those of others in an international network of ebird users. ebird then shares these observations with a global community of educators, land managers, ornithologists, and conservation biologists. In time these data will become the foundation for a better understanding of bird distribution across the western hemisphere and beyond. How Does it Work? ebird documents the presence or absence of species, as well as bird abundance through checklist data. A simple and intuitive web-interface engages tens of thousands of participants to submit their observations or view results via interactive queries into the ebird database. ebird encourages users to participate by providing Internet tools that maintain their personal bird records and enable them to visualize data with interactive maps, graphs, and bar charts. All these features are available in English, Spanish, and French. A birder simply enters when, where, and how they went birding, then fills out a checklist of all the birds seen and heard during the outing. ebird provides various options for data gathering including point counts, transects, and area searches. Automated data quality filters developed by regional bird experts review all submissions before they enter the database. Local experts review unusual records that are flagged by the filters. Data Integration ebird collects observations from birders through portals managed and maintained by local partner conservation organizations. In this way ebird targets specific audiences with the highest level of local expertise, promotion, and project ownership. Portals may have a regional focus (averaves, ebird Puerto Rico) or they may have more specific goals and/or specific methodologies (Louisiana Winter Bird Atlas, Bird Conservation Network ebird). Each ebird portal is fully integrated within the ebird database and application infrastructure so that data can be analyzed across political and geographic boundaries. For example, observers entering observations of Cape May Warbler from Puerto Rico can view those data separately, or with the entire Cape May Warbler data set gathered by ebird across the western hemisphere. Data Accessibility ebird data are stored in a secure facility and archived daily, and are accessible to anyone via the ebird web site and other applications developed by the global biodiversity information community. For example, ebird data are part of the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN), which integrates observational data on bird populations across the western hemisphere. In turn, the AKN feeds ebird data to international biodiversity data systems, such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). In this way any contribution made to ebird increases our understanding of the distribution, richness, and uniqueness of the biodiversity of our planet.
10 Using ebird.org to view current birds at your favorite hot spots 1) Browse to ebird.org 2) Click on Explore Data tab 4th from the left on top menu bar. 3) Click on Explore Hotspots (don t forget to come back later an check out the other choices). 4) Enter Hotspot name (lets use Glendale Recharge Ponds here as a drill). 5) Click on red upside down teardrop then click view details. 6) I can see on the left that Mark has seen 40 species there today. 7) Sometimes there is a camera icon to the right of a bird name. You might have to scroll down to find one but you will be rewarded! 8) On the right you can see list totals of recent birders. Below that you can see the total different species that a particular birder has seen at this hot spot. 9) Try other sites we have explored such as Hassayampa. Have fun exploring this site and be sure to look elsewhere for bird topics on the web as well.
