Climate Travels by Dr. Michael Gunter
In this program and his 2023 book by the same name, Dr. Gunter takes readers around the United States to bear witness to the many faces of the climate crisis. He argues that conscientious travel broadens understanding and makes the dangers of climate change concrete and immediate.
His examples include sea level rise in Virginia, floods sweeping inland in Tennessee and Maine lobsters migrating away from American territorial waters. He will show us imperiled ecosystems in national parks, from Alaskan permafrost to the Florida Keys.
Dr. Gunter will also show us inspiring initiatives to mitigate and adapt to these threats, including wind turbines, green building construction, and walkable urbanism. Such projects make a difference-and they underscore the importance of local action.

    On identification, Since some birds may wander , and may not be singing , it might help to be able to visually distinguish them from easterns. The image at the beginning looks like an eastern , how much visual overlap do they share? And what variability is there in the phenotype? Can a conclusive id be made from a photo?

    Bird names , should be written in stone , not rewritten based on ones political stance because the point is to connect with older data , google searches and communicate in general . Erasing history doesnt help birds or harm them . Audubon went around blasting the birds with a shotgun so that name is about as inappropriate as one can get. This name change thing is misguided to the nth degree. Nobody is going to recreate the confederacy because of Scotts oriole. The process is about pushing agendas which have nothing to do with birding . Changing the name of a Louisiana to Tricolor heron also does nothing to improve communication or identification since nobody has a problem recognizing birds with eponymous names anyway. People do have problems when some self important committee decides to start changing things around like designating Pluto , not a planet anymore. Its difficult to talk about and divisive because its a bad thing to do. So stop it .

    Thank you Dr. Erich Marzolf for this amazing and informative presentation! I am a member of the Orange Audubon Society, but was unable to attend the meeting for the live lecture. All the material presented was easy to understand, and you have a great sense of humor! I've taken a boat tour of Lake Apopka, from the dock of Oakland Nature Preserve, during NatureFest. The lake was beautiful! I'm a birder, and I've driven the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive quite a few times, since moving to Oviedo, Florida. Believe it or not, my Panama Amazon, named Freedom the Parrot, comes along with me. I have over 26,000 wildlife videos on Karen Marts UA-cam, filmed over the course of 10 years. (I lived in Hilton Head Island, SC for 34 years. I was a volunteer monitor for The Sea Pines Bluebird Project for a decade.) I am in awe of the birds of prey, wading birds, songbirds, and waterfowl. I've also filmed up to 39 alligators during 3 hours of birding. Congratulations to you, and all of your associates for caring about Lake Apopka and the North Shore. The fact that fish are thriving, manatees are showing up, and the bird life is abundant is a testament to your hard work! Have a great evening, Karen Marts and Freedom the Parrot

    Thank you for this very informative presentation. Excellent. I observe them on NYC beaches every year, and try to record the bands and then send to the AMOY Working Group as resightings. Yes, they are highly site faithful, and very territorial. Another birder last summer observed a pair killing other AMOY chicks. Question: how do you confirm a "pair"? I would guess by just seeing 2 AMOYs together (stationary) apart from others? These are beautiful shorebirds (antics and noise welcomed), and a beach without them is just not the same.

    I just saw a female Orchard Oriole in Gainesville a week or so ago, eating berries in the Carolina Holly tree in front of my townhouse. I put it into eBird, and a message popped up saying how it was a rarity in this area for this time of year and asking me to post corroborative evidence if I have any, which I don't. Now I'm on the lookout for it, hoping to see it again to try to get a picture.

    When I first started a wildlife garden, I purchased and propagated firebush because I read how great it is for hummingbirds and zebra longwings. It wasn’t until they were well established that I learned there is native and non-native kinds. Not sure how to proceed. From a wildlife perspective, are those okay, or do I need to rip them out and start over?
