SUMMARY:Great Backyard Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:New Date!!! \nOn Sunday\, February 15 the Friends of Sheri Capehart Nature Preserve will host its 19th Great Backyard Bird Count.  The annual census brings together hundreds of thousands of environmentalists worldwide to take an avian health-care snapshot. How are our birds faring? \nThe final tally at Sheri Capehart last year was 205 birds counted and 41 different species\, above average over the 18 years. \nThe count is taken 8-10 a.m. Meet in the parking lot. All skill levels are welcome. Bring your cameras and binoculars. Download the Merlin app in advance so you can use your cellphone to track birds from their songs. \n7\,970 species were recorded worldwide last year.  That’s good  news: 50 higher than a year ago. The data is reported on eBird\, the world’s largest biodiversity-related participatory science project. Last year 642\,003 citizen scientists from 210 countries joined the count.

SUMMARY:Spiders in the Park! (Via ZOOM)
DESCRIPTION:Meghan Cassidy will give us a foundation of basic info about spiders and other arachnids\, most of whom are misunderstood\, and almost all feared. The presentation will include some basic taxonomy\, with a touch of ecology & natural history.  Meghan will discuss and showcase spiders found in Texas that you may come across while out in Texas nature. She will also offer some strategies to help with identifying spiders. Meghan has many detailed spider photos to show\, and she will provide some tips for using iNaturalist as a learning resource for these amazing animals! \nBio:\nMeghan is a data analyst by day\, and a naturalist & photographer by night! As a strong advocate for everything in class arachnida\, Meghan has been conducting nature education and outreach with a focus on spiders for 6 years\, and has been studying them for fun for over 9 years! Many of her photos have been contributed to scientific publications and books\, such as a recent publication from Texas A&M press titled “Mindfulness in Texas Nature” by local herpetologist Michael Smith\, and the highly recommended field guide “Spiders of North America” by Sarah Rose.
