California: Birds and Scenery

Posted on February 22, 2012 by lroute

Ornithologist Bob Quinn will share his knowledge of  the great state of California. Thursday, March 15th @ 7:30 pm. At the Loon Center in Moultonboro, NH

California has the most diverse wildlife of any state in the country and this show will sample that bounty from the dramatic northern coastline and it’s Redwood trees, across the rugged mountains, out to sea off Monterey Bay, to the San Diego coastline and on to the surprising, bird-thronged, oasis of the Salton Sea. These areas abound with birds and other wildlife and the plant life is even more amazing than the birds. Spectacular scenery, tens of thousands of sea birds, the largest living organisms on earth, volcanoes, huge flocks of wintering water birds…and that is just the beginning.

Common Nighthawks in New Hampshire

Posted on October 4, 2011 by lroute

Join NH Audubon’s Becky Suomala for a program about the state-endangered Common Nighthawk and the effort to install gravel nest patches on roof tops.

Nighthawks are declining throughout their range and biologists do not know why. The dawn and dusk “peent” call of these birds was once a familiar sound in cities and towns throughout New Hampshire, where they nested on flat, pea stone gravel roofs and fed on insects attracted to city lights.

In recent years, rubber and PVC have largely replaced pea stone roofing, and nesting nighthawks have disappeared from many New Hampshire towns. New Hampshire Audubon initiated Project Nighthawk in 2007 to investigate the potential for restoring nesting nighthawks by placing simple gravel “nest patches” on flat rooftops.

Becky will also share the latest news on nesting nighthawks in the Ossipee pine barrens and share stories on the successes and failures of nighthawk nests that Project Nighthawk volunteers have monitored. Becky Suomala is a biologist with NH Audubon and the coordinator of Project Nighthawk.
