SUMMARY: November 17th - Moving on up: Relationships between Black-capped and Carolina Chickadees in the face of Climate Change - with Bob Curry - 
DESCRIPTION:The closest relative of the black-capped chickadee—Maine’s state bird—is the Carolina chickadee. The geographic ranges of these sister species overlap just a little\, along an east-west line extending from New Jersey to Kansas. In the narrow zone of overlap\, the two species hybridize frequently. \nBob Curry\, his students from Villanova University\, and various collaborators have studied chickadee hybridization at multiple Pennsylvania sites for more than a quarter century. Dr. Curry will discuss highlights of this work\, including methods and findings. The research program has combined intensive field study of chickadee breeding biology and investigation of behavioral interactions in the nonbreeding seasons. Because the two species are so similar\, the research has also relied heavily on genetic analysis. \n \nA point of emphasis throughout has been the northward movement of the hybrid zone: Carolina chickadees have advanced rapidly at the expense of black-caps\, while interbreeding along the way. Although Carolina chickadees will not join us in Maine in the immediate future\, the presentation will provide general information about chickadee biology along with food for thought about some underappreciated consequences of climate warming. \nBob Curry has been studying chickadees for decades\, and one of his particular focus areas has been the relationship between Black-capped and Carolina Chickadees\, and their evolving territories.  He became a professor at Villanova University in 1991\, and now serves as a Professor Emeritus.  One further note: he has recently migrated to Maine himself\, and we’re delighted to welcome him to our birding community. \nThis program will be presented in-person but the location has not yet been finalized!  Our usual venue\, the Mather Auditorium of the Wells Reserve at Laudholm\, may be under construction. We expect to confirm the event location in the next few days\, so please check back. \nThe event will be free and open to all ages\, and no registration is required for attending the program in person. It will also be live-streamed via Zoom.  To view via Zoom\, you’ll need to register in advance.  To do so\, please click on this link and enter your name and email address:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_81HYBRPUQpqapnas5VDSvg \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nWe hope you can join us in-person\, or\, if not\, via Zoom!

SUMMARY: November 21st - A Bird Walk at Seapoint Beach in Kittery - 
DESCRIPTION:Snow Bunting – photo by Bill Grabin \nJoin us on at 8 a.m. on Sunday\, November 21st\, for our monthly walk at a lovely birding spot.  Seapoint Beach in Kittery tends to be birded less frequently than its more famous neighbor\, Fort Foster\, but it can be very productive and has attracted its fair share of rarities. It’s an excellent spot for seasonal birds and offers multiple habitats\, including beach\, marsh\, and coastal scrub and woodland.  Even apart from the birds\, it’s simply a beautiful\, scenic stretch of coastline that’s very enjoyable to walk. \nLapland Longspur at Seapoint Beach – photo by Britney Fox\nWe’ll start by exploring the road down to the beach\, which can be full of sparrows and other woodland birds. The lower parking lot (resident parking) is often birdy too. Seapoint accumulates a lot of wrack along the beach\, which is great for pipits\, snow buntings\, horned larks\, sparrows\, warblers\, and shorebirds. The marsh behind the beach can host ducks\, wading birds\, and raptors. Seapoint is also a great place to sea watch\, so we’ll scan the ocean for ducks\, cormorants\, loons\, grebes\, and gulls. If time allows\, we’ll continue on to Crescent Beach and the Point\, both of which are worth checking for birds. \nWhite-rumped Sandpiper at Seapoint Beach – photo by Britney Fox\nPlease wear sturdy\, waterproof footwear and dress in layers\, as the beach can be exposed and windy. The footing on the road and beach is fairly easy\, but the terrain at Crescent Beach is rocky. The trails on the point are packed dirt. \nParking: Public parking is available in the lots along Seapoint Rd. Non-resident parking is in the first lot on the right and is clearly marked. Please do not park in resident parking unless you have a Kittery dump sticker. \nRestrooms: There are no public restrooms at this location. Facilities are available at the Cutts Island trailhead\, just down the road. \nThis walk is provided at no charge and all are welcome! \n
