SUMMARY:Iconic Canadian Wilderness Rivers: Alsek\, Tatshenshini\, Wind\, and Nahanni
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, April 17 at 7PM\, East Buffalo Township Building\, 589 Fairground Rd\, Lewisburg\, PA.\n\n\nDr. Warren “Abe” Abrahamson\nProfessor of Biology Emeritus\, Bucknell University. Abe\, a teacher and researcher at Bucknell University from 1973 until 2012 and a Research Associate of Archbold Biological Station https://www.archbold-station.org/ from 1976 to the present\, held Bucknell University’s endowed David Burpee Chair in Plant Genetics from 1983 until his retirement in 2012. Abe’s teaching was recognized with two awards from Bucknell University\, the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1975 & The Class of 1956 Lectureship in 1982\, and he was nominated for Baylor University’s Robert Foster Cherry Award in 2007. His commitment to conservation was recognized in 1984 by National Audubon Society’s William Dutcher Award for Outstanding Service to the Audubon Cause at the Regional Level (Mid-Atlantic Region)\, in 2002 by a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Merrill Linn Land and Waterways Conservancy\, and in 2014 by the Science and Conservation Awareness Award from Archbold Biological Station. \n\nAbe enjoys travelling and has participated in expeditions to the Andes Mountains\, Amazon basin\, as well as 3 trips to Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands (1979\, 1990\, 2008)\, Peru (including Machu Picchu)\, and Brazil. He has rafted or canoed white-water rivers (Tatshenshini\, Alsek\, Nahanni\, and Wind Rivers) \n\nJoin us as ecologist and naturalist Warren Abrahamson shares his adventures on four of Canada’s iconic northwestern wilderness rivers — the Nahanni\, Tatshenshini\, Alsek\, & Wind. \n\nThe Nahanni River flows through Canada’s deepest river canyons\, past hot springs and geological features so unique that the Nahanni River was among the first World Heritage Sites to be declared by the United Nations in 1978. \n\nPart of the world’s largest bio-preserve\, the Tatshenshini River flows through the Yukon\, British Columbia\, Alaska\, Glacier Bay National Park\, Alsek/Tatshenshini Provincial Park\, out to the Gulf of Alaska. It’s home to grizzlies\, bald eagles\, moose\, wolves and more. \n\nThe Alsek River has its origins only a short distance from the Tatshenshini but the difference between the two rivers is dramatic. Starting in the rain shadow of some of North America’s tallest peaks\, the Alsek River flows through two glacial lakes. Known for grizzly bears\, wildflowers\, and famed Turnback Canyon. The latter requires a portage assisted by helicopter. \n\nThe Wind River is an arctic mountain river and is renowned for its tremendous hiking and whitewater. Paralleling the border of the Yukon and Northwest Territories and ending above the Arctic Circle\, the Wind is a crystal-clear remote northern river with superb mountain hiking.

SUMMARY:October Educational Meeting: "Are You a Birder\, Bird Photographer\, or Both?"- Dr. Patrick Dorion
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 18\, 2023 at 7 PM\nEast Buffalo Township Municipal Building\, 589 Fairground Rd\, Lewisburg\, PA 17837\n\n\nI think that the title of this talk is a question that the speaker has asked himself. His answer will reflect on his past and present experience. It will give experienced birders and bird photographers a chance to compare notes and for those not currently engaged in bird photography\, it may be the inspiration you need to get started.\nDr. Patrick Dorion is a semi-retired\, long-time colleague in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at Geisinger where he is a staff surgical pathologist and hematopathologist. For many years\, he was Director of the Hematology Laboratory (Peripheral blood\, bone marrow and coagulation).\nHe has been a valued mentor\, teacher and consultant to many in the laboratory and on the physician staff at Geisinger. He is a member of the Columbia-Montour Photography Club. He and his wife Sue\, enjoy birding\, photography\, kayaking and travel.\nThis program will be in person and it will also be live-streamed on Seven Mountains Facebook.\n\n

SUMMARY:Union County Birding Spotlight: Dale's Ridge Trail
DESCRIPTION:Sunday October 15\, 2023\, 9:00 am to about 11:00 am\, depending on birdiness\nDale’s Ridge Trail\nTrip Co-Leaders: Deepak Iyer and Joe Gyekis\n\nMeet at the main parking lot at Dale’s Ridge beside the bridge and walk along Buffalo Creek and up the side of the bluff\, looking for fall migrants as we always do in October! Walking speed will be slow\, birder speed\, but one part is fairly steep\, it’s OK if people just join for the easy part along the creek\, and if birding is busy\, we might not even scale the slope at all. However\, if we’re ambitious and conditions encourage it\, the hawkwatching can be good from the powerline cut as the day warms.\nhttps://linnconservancy.org/trails/dales-ridge-trail/\n
