SUMMARY:Accessible Birding Programs and Places (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:(MD) (Natural History Society of Maryland) This extended workshop builds on the introductory presentation\, Birding CAN Change the World\, and is designed for those who are ready to move from learning into implementation. \nParticipants will take a deeper dive into what accessibility in birding truly looks like in practice. Together\, we will explore real-world case studies from across the country that show how organizations\, municipalities\, parks\, and nature centers have assessed barriers\, made meaningful changes\, and created more inclusive birding experiences for people with disabilities and other health concerns.

SUMMARY:Evolution of the Bird Brain (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:(MD) (Natural History Society of Maryland) This talk explores the Mesozoic origin of avian flight from the perspective of the dinosaurian brain. Fossil reconstructions will be integrated with advanced imaging to test hypotheses on how the brain of theropods met the sensory and motor changes of this rare and radical behavioral innovation. \nAmy Balanoff is an assistant professor in the Center for Functional Anatomy & Evolution at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

SUMMARY:Birdability: Birding CAN Change the World (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:(MD) (Natural History Society of Maryland) Virginia Rose was thrown from a horse at the age of 14\, resulting in paralysis. Then\, at the age of 44\, she discovered birding. It changed her life.  She founded Birdability with the vision that birding truly is for everybody and every body\, regardless of disabilities or other health concerns. Their mission is to ensure birding is accessible to everyone. \nIn this presentation by Birdability Executive Director\, Cat Fribley\, let’s discover how accessible birding can make a significant impact on individuals with access challenges and learn practical ways you can contribute to a more inclusive birding community.

SUMMARY:On the Heels of Dinosaurs (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:(MD) (Natural History Society of Maryland) Dinosaur tracks and other trace fossils provide important insights into the behaviors\, locomotion\, postures\, and environments of ancient creatures that are often difficult to glean from body fossils alone. Glen Kuban’s presentation will include an overview of the dinosaur tracks\, including basic types of tracks\, where they are found\, and how they are studied and documented. Glen will also discuss his 45+ years of first-hand research on the remarkably abundant\, varied\, and well-preserved dinosaur tracks in Texas\, and various debates and controversies surrounding them.

SUMMARY:Frog Watch Training (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:(MD) (Natural History Society of Maryland) FrogWatch is a nationwide citizen science program that tracks frog populations throughout the United States. Participation is a fun way to learn about amphibians as well as getting to know your local wetlands and frog & toad species. In the workshop you will learn how to identify frog and toad calls and how to document their calling activity at your local site to provide invaluable data on frog and toad populations in your community. \nParticipants will choose a monitoring site that is easily accessible and close to where they live or work to listen to frogs that are calling throughout the breeding season (February 1st – August 31st).

SUMMARY:Identification and Ecology of Bark (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:(MD) (Natural History Society of Maryland) Many people know how to identify trees by their leaves\, but what about when those leaves have fallen or are out of reach? In this two-part course with Michael Wojtech\, you will learn about a system for noticing the beautiful variety of bark characteristics and for using these traits to identify tree species in any season. We will practice using the identification key in our Michael’s text\, Bark: A Field Guide to Trees of the Northeast. You will also discover the function and ecological role of bark. \nThe is the second session of the two-part course.
