SUMMARY:The Maine Nightjar Monitoring Project
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation by Maine Natural History Observatory ecologist\, Logan Parker\, focused on nightjar monitoring efforts in Maine. We will learn about the natural history of Maine’s nightjars (Eastern Whip-poor-will and Common Nighthawk)\, the threats they face\, and how you can take part in these exciting monitoring efforts. \nThis will be an in-person presentation at the Camden Library. \nThe Maine Nightjar Monitoring Project was launched in response to reports of widespread declines in Eastern Whip-poor-wills and Common Nighthawks throughout their eastern breeding ranges. Suspected declines in Maine evidenced by extensive anecdotal observations led to both the Eastern Whip-poor-will and Common Nighthawk being listed as a Species of Greatest Conservation Need in 2016.

SUMMARY:Coyote ~ America's SongDog
DESCRIPTION:Join conservation biologist Geri Vistein\, in person at the Camden Library\, as she takes you on a journey to discover who this important and resilient carnivore is\, in a way you have never heard before. But this presentation is all about us as well\, since we share the landscape and our lives with Coyote. Because the life on earth is deeply interrelated and complex this presentation is inclusive\, touching upon Anthropology\, Archaeology\, Prehistoric and Modern History\, Native American life\, poetry\, Human Psychology\, Human Belief Systems\, European World Views\, Wildlife Science and Ecology\, Animal Husbandry\, and much more. It will center on “Perceptions and Relationships”… Coyote and Native Americans and European Americans\, Coyote’s relationship with other wildlife and the ecosystem\, and Coyote and us…how do we share our lives with Coyote. \nThis presentation gives our community members a chance to come together and share your own stories\, ask questions you have been wanting to ask\, and share a dialogue that helps us all to understand better our very deep rooted relationships with all life\, including our fellow humans. Come hear the Song Dogs Sing! \nTo learn more about Coyotes\, go to Geri Vistein’s educational website ~www.CoyoteLivesinMaine.org. Geri Vistein is a Conservation Biologist whose focus is carnivores and their vital role in maintaining the biodiversity of our planet. She educates on carnivore ecology\, complex cultures and history\, and how humans can coexist with coyotes. Working mostly in Maine\, Geri also focuses on outreach to farmers to improve relationships between coyotes and agricultural systems. Vistein is the Founder of Coyote Center for Carnivore Ecology and Coexistence.

SUMMARY:Mt Washington Observatory\, Home of the World's Worst Weather
DESCRIPTION:In the northeastern United States\, a unique combination of topography\, geography\, and geology creates one of the world’s most extreme environments – the summit of Mount Washington. Nowhere else on Earth experiences such consistent sub-zero temperatures\, hurricane-force winds\, freezing fog\, and driving snow. These extreme conditions have earned Mount Washington the title\, “Home of the World’s Worst Weather”. \nVia Zoom\, this virtual tour allows you to meet and interact with the summit weather team\, learn how they create forecasts\, see the instruments they use to capture Mount Washington’s legendary extremes\, and experience the unique facility all from the comfort of home! \nThis program takes place on Zoom only. Click here to register. \nBrian Fitzgerald serves as Mount Washington Observatory’s Director of Education\, based out of the Observatory’s administrative offices in North Conway\, New Hampshire. Previously\, Brian has served as a summit intern and weather observer/education specialist helping to deliver educational programs and tours on the summit. In addition to his experiences on “the Rockpile\,” Brian has worked as Blue Hill Observatory’s Chief Weather Observer\, and as a Hut Croo and Naturalist for the Appalachian Mountain Club’s backcountry huts. Brian holds a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Conservation Studies from the University of New Hampshire\, and a Master of Education in Science Education from Boston University.

SUMMARY:Strata: Stories from Deep Time
DESCRIPTION:Join us in person at the Camden Public Library for a revelatory journey through four moments in Earth's deep past\, and their lessons for our future. \nThe epic stories of our planet's 4.54-billion-year history are written in strata--ages-old remnants of ancient seafloors\, desert dunes\, and riverbeds striping landscapes around the world. In this original debut work\, science writer Laura Poppick decodes strata to lead us on a journey through four global transformations that made our lives on Earth possible: the first accumulations of oxygen in the atmosphere; the deep freezes of "Snowball Earth"; the rise of mud on land and accompanying proliferation of plants; and the dinosaurs' reign on a hothouse planet.  \nPoppick introduces us to the researchers who have devoted their careers to understanding the events of deep time\, including the world's leading stegosaur scientist. She travels to sites as various as a Minnesotan iron mine that runs half a mile deep and a corner of the Australian Outback where glacial deposits date from the coldest times on Earth. Ultimately\, she demonstrates that the planet's oceans\, continents\, atmosphere\, life\, and ice have always conspired to bring stability to Earth\, even if we are only just beginning to understand how these different facets interact. \nLaura Poppick is a science and environmental journalist whose writing has appeared in the New York Times\, Smithsonian\, Scientific American\, Wired\, Audubon\, National Geographic\, Science\, and elsewhere. She has been listed as a finalist for the National Association of Science Writers Science in Society Journalism Award and the Maine Literary Awards Short Works Competition in Nonfiction\, among others. She lives in Portland\, Maine.

SUMMARY:Notes from the Hummingbird Corridor
DESCRIPTION:In October of 2021\, a month after the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds left her gardens in Maine\, herbalist and author Deb Soule felt a compelling nudge. The hummingbirds asked Deb to follow their eastern migration route south the following autumn. Without hesitation\, she said yes\, and asked her friend\, poet Laura Brown-Lavoie\, to join her. \nJoin us in person at the Camden Library to hear about Notes from the Hummingbird Corridor\, a record of their pilgrimage\, following these small birds on their thousands-mile migration journey\, and connecting with fellow humans along the way. Through poetry\, prose\, and practical gardening advice\, Deb and Laura offer readers an invitation into relationship with these iridescent interdimensional beings who whiz from bloom to bloom across meadows\, mountains\, and the Gulf of Mexico. \n"How lucky that the cross-pollination of Deb Soule and Laura Lamb Brown-Lavoie's thoughtful\, caring\, curious minds and hearts has sprouted this beautiful book. Cohesive and innovative\, Notes from the Hummingbird Corridor is a wonderful reminder that wisdom can be found and carried in so many differently-shaped vessels—poem\, prayer\, essay\, seed\, hummingbird\, cross-country roadtrip. I am so moved by this multi-modal collaboration\, which is as splendid to read and look at as it is to learn from."\n    —Sarah Kay\, author of A Little Daylight Left\, kaysarahsera.com

SUMMARY:Bark: Get to Know Your Trees
DESCRIPTION:The traits typically used to describe trees—leaves\, twigs\, and buds—are often hard to see or seasonally absent. Join Michael Wojtech for an exploration of bark\, which is always visible\, in any season. As you hone your perceptive abilities you will learn about a system for identifying tree species by their bark\, and discover why such a variety of bark characteristics exist. Why do some species have smooth bark\, while on others it is thick and broken? Why does bark peel? \nJoin us online via Zoom to learn to identify trees by their bark. Register on the Library's website to attend. You will receive a link to join in your email. \nMichael left a 15-year business career to pursue his love of natural history and writing\, and earned his Master’s in Conservation Biology from Antioch University New England. His thesis\, on tree bark\, became the basis for his field guide\, Bark. Though the book's plant ID section covers trees of the Northeast\, much of the material inside speaks to the characteristics and function of bark anywhere–so it’s fascinating wherever you live.

SUMMARY:Foot Prints and More! Introduction to Wildlife Tracking
DESCRIPTION:Wildlife tracking is a useful skill for photographers\, hunters\, biologists\, conservationists\, and nature enthusiasts who want a deeper connection with wild creatures. It can involve much more than looking down at tracks. Interpreting trail patterns\, scat\, claw marks\, hair snags\, dens\, beds\, feeding sign\, etc. are also useful\, and often more revealing\, and we will touch on all. And\, since seeing is believing\, we’ll watch some videos of animals actually creating the tracks and signs they leave behind. \nJoin us for a Zoom presentation by Janet Pesaturo\, who works to bring broader awareness\, understanding\, and appreciation of our natural world through camera trapping. Click on this link to register and you’ll receive the Zoom link. \nJanet is focused on learning more about animal behavior by strategically placing trail cameras in “great animal spots.” Her goal is to share everything she learns about animals\, animal behavior\, and the techniques used to study them.  All this she does through candid\, compelling\, often dramatic photo and video footage and interpretation.
