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:What Lives Here?
DESCRIPTION:Say goodbye to winter and take a walk to find some of the living things at the preserve. We’ll focus largely on names for things\, how the plants and animals work together ecologically\, but some of the time we’ll focus on experiencing the preserve with mindful\, in-the-moment awareness.\n\nThe walk is designed for anyone interested in nature\, including beginners. It is for pre-teens on up through seniors but probably wouldn’t work for younger kids. Please do not bring dogs on this walk. Remember that the trails are primitive (but we go slow). Bring water!

SUMMARY:Frog Call Night
DESCRIPTION:On this Friday night during the City Nature Challenge\, we will take a walk at the preserve starting at 8pm and visit one or two of the ponds\, listening for frog calls. And along the way\, we can listen for owls\, watch for spiders weaving webs\, and be aware of anything else that is part of the community of living things. \nWe will be documenting what we find in iNaturalist\, adding to the total number of observations at the preserve (already over two thousand species have been identified). \nPlease register as “going” by emailing us at events@friendsofscnp.org or at our Facebook page if you plan to join us\, because we need to plan for how many will attend. Since we are starting at sunset\, it will not be very dark at first but will get darker – so please remember to bring a flashlight or headlamp. Also remember that the trails are primitive and walking carefully is more important in low light. \nThe preserve is open until 10pm\, so we will get back to the parking lot by about 9:30pm\, giving us enough time to wrap up and leave.

SUMMARY:Know Your Nature Neighbors
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday morning during the City Nature Challenge\, we will take a walk at the preserve and look for flowers\, insects\, lizards hanging out in the trees\, the trees themselves\, and all the other wonderful lives at the preserve. We will be documenting what we find in iNaturalist\, adding to the total number of observations for City Nature Challenge. \nPlease register as “going” by emailing us at events@friendsofscnp.org or find the event on our Facebook page if you plan to join us\, because we need to plan for how many will attend. Remember to bring water! And a camera\, if you like. We will show you how to use iNaturalist on your smartphone if you are new to the app – or you could just walk with us without using iNaturalist. \nThe walk is planned from 9:00-10:30am. We sometimes run a little overtime\, but we’ll make sure you get back to the parking lot by 10:30 if you need to. And if you are recording observations for City Nature Challenge and want to keep going\, then you’re absolutely welcome to stay as long as you wish (until 10pm!).
