SUMMARY:First Friday: Nurturing Habitat at Home for Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:Eileen Stark\, author of Real Gardens Grow Natives\, will share tips for designing your garden to support pollinators and incorporate native plants. \nPollinators are essential\, hardworking and fascinating\, with amazing abilities\, but they face a wide range of threats. Join author and eco-landscape designer Eileen Stark to learn about their lives and needs. Discover how to welcome\, support\, and protect them throughout all of their life cycles by restoring native habitat\, using ecological design principles\, and eliminating toxins and other hazards. The essence of a successful garden lies not only in its ability to look beautiful\, but also in its capacity to nurture life that’s in danger of being lost forever. \nPresenter Bio:\nEileen Stark is a Portland-based eco-landscape designer\, habitat consultant\, author and photographer whose academic background includes biology\, wildlife ecology\, and design. As a deeply committed conservationist\, she strives to create awareness of the myriad creatures with which we share this fragile planet.

SUMMARY:Birdhouse Selection\, Installation\, and Maintenance
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, retired biologist and past president of the Salem Audubon Society Ray Temple will reflect on more than a decade of learning in the field and share ideas for building\, cleaning\, replacing\, repairing\, and relocating bird boxes. Ray and  Stephanie Hazen live east of Salem on nearly two acres that they manage for native vegetation in support of native birds\, bees\, butterflies\, and moths. \nIn 2013 they took over a Bluebird Trail (a route of monitored bird nest boxes intended to contribute to bluebird conservation) on three local farms.  Currently they manage about 80 nest boxes that are used by tree and violet green swallows\, bluebirds\, slender billed white breasted nuthatches\, house wrens\, chickadees\, house sparrows\, and assorted non-avian tenants. Ray and Stephanie annually monitor mortalities\, clean\, and replace\, repair\, or relocate boxes as needed.  Ray has constructed most of the boxes now in use\, using nest box designs that he has evolved to serve the birds well and be efficient in their construction. The information will reflect more than a decade of learning by problem solving and observation in the field by Stephanie and Ray. \nThis talk is intended for folks who want to use bird nest boxes on their properties\, either boxes they purchase or those they construct.  Ray will introduce cavity nesting birds as different from other familiar species such as robins and sparrows and discuss common cavity nesting species (including kestrels and screech owls!) that may use nest boxes. The scope of this talk is primarily nest boxes for our most common cavity nesters but the considerations and practices described will apply to any nest boxes.  Ray will present some best practices for selecting or constructing nest boxes; locating them to attract the birds you want (and avoid others); annual maintenance to preserve their usefulness to birds; and what you can do when it doesn’t work out as planned as well as a list of pertinent references. \nNo Registration Required\, use Zoom link below\nZoom Link
