SUMMARY:Native Bees of WA
DESCRIPTION:A note from the WenOut Staff: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, please contact the organization hosting the event or check their website or Facebook page to verify if the event is continuing to take place. Thank you. \nAll events are open to the public\, and run from 4 to 5 p.m. and will be held at the WSU Tree Fruit Research & Extension Center on Wednesdays from 4-5 P.M. (1100 N. Western Ave.\, Wenatchee). \n4/15/2020          Dr. Don Rolfs\, Lifelong Naturalist\, Retired Periodontist\, Community Member \n“Native Bees of Washington State” \nFormally trained in Native Bee biology\, Dr. Don Rolfs has\, for more than a decade\, focused his field work\, laboratory work and photographic skills on the 600+ species of Native Bees of Washington State. While Honey Bees have a place in agriculture\, it is our Native Bees who are the primary pollinators\, responsible for the flowers of our mountain meadows and remote wild places. Dr. Rolfs’ profusely illustrated lecture is an introduction to the variety and to the stunning beauty of these essential pollinators

SUMMARY:Clark's Nutcrackers\, Pivotal Players in WA Mnt. Habits
DESCRIPTION:A note from the WenOut Staff: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, please contact the organization hosting the event or check their website or Facebook page to verify if the event is continuing to take place. Thank you. \nClark’s nutcrackers\, pivotal players in Washington’s mountain habits -a WRI Red Barn Event \nClark’s nutcrackers and whitebark pines have a fascinating relationship. The trees provide fatty seeds with more calories per pound than chocolate\, and the birds plant the seeds by caching them for winter calories. A single bird may bury up to 98\,000 seeds in a year! Learn more about this interspecies relationship from ornithologist Taza Schaming by attending Wenatchee River Institute’s (WRI) Red Barn Event on Wed.\, Apr. 15 at 7PM\, 347 Division St. in Leavenworth. \n“Everything is connected. Not only are Clark’s nutcracker and whitebark pine intimately intertwined because the trees depend completely on nutcrackers for dispersal of seeds\, but whitebark pine is a keystone and foundation species impacting hundreds of other species\,” said Schaming. “Fewer nutcrackers leads to fewer cached seeds\, which could lead to even fewer whitebark pines\,” she continued. \nThe decline of whitebark pine will likely have a cascading effect on numerous species and watersheds. These trees live in remote\, high elevation\, often road-less areas and are dying because of fire suppression policies over the last century. Additionally\, climate changes from human activities –leading to warming temperatures– give way to nonnative white pine blister rust and outbreaks of voracious mountain pine beetles. \nNutcrackers travel over large areas dispersing the seeds of more than a dozen other conifers along the way\, with leftovers from their winter caches growing into new trees. Schaming followed nutcrackers for days at a time and noticed they each had very different personalities. Said Schaming\, “Some were very shy and some would join you for lunch. I had never thought about that aspect and really got to know birds up close and personal. Whenever I lost the birds (while radio tracking) I just had to keep hiking higher!” \nLimited information has been collected about Clark’s nutcracker populations and behavior\, and that’s where Schaming comes in. Beginning in 2009 as a PhD student at Cornell University\, and continuing as a research associate with Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative\, Schaming has been investigating the resilience of whitepine’s and the nutcracker’s obligate mutualism (wherein one organism cannot survive without the other). The ultimate goal of this research is to suggest management strategies ensuring the persistence of Clark’s nutcrackers and their important seed dispersal function. \nWanting to combine her passions for conservation ornithology\, snowboarding\, and working in mountain habitats\, Taza found a fascinating species she could tie to conservation issue. She began working in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem monitoring nests\, trapping\, surveying\, and tracking Clark’s nutcrackers to study their movement\, habitat selection\, and social behavior. \nIn 2018\, she expanded into Washington’s Cascades to focus on evaluating habitat use and selection\, seed dispersal\, and long distance emigration patterns to help inform whitebark pine management plans and identify areas for pine conservation and restoration. In spring 2020\, Taza will be satellite-tagging nutcrackers and working with Central WA University students to begin a community science nutcracker monitoring project.\nDoors open at 6:30PM for community social and with local beer and wine available for purchase. This is a free event with donations gratefully accepted to benefit WRI youth and adult programs. \nInformation: Rebecca Ryan (509)548-0181\, rryan@wenatcheeriverinstitute.org\nEvent Link | https://wenatcheeriverinstitute.org/event-calendar.html/event/2020/04/15/red-barn-event-clark-s-nutcrackers-pivotal-players-in-whitebark-pine-habitats-of-washington-s-cascades/282904

SUMMARY:Introduction to Ornithology with W.R.I.
DESCRIPTION:A note from the WenOut Staff: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, please contact the organization hosting the event or check their website or Facebook page to verify if the event is continuing to take place. Thank you. \nIntroduction to Ornithology Class with Wenatchee River Institute \nAre you interested in birds? Would like to learn about the science behind them? Ever wanted the opportunity to set up a mist net? This two half-day Introduction to Ornithology class will immerse you in everything birds\, anatomy to their social value\, and communication to field study. Fri.\, April 17\, 10am-2pm and Sat. April 18\, 6am-10am at Wenatchee River Institute (WRI)\, 347 Division St. in Leavenworth. \n“There’s so much more to birds than the little critters that we love to see in our yards\,” explains Suzanne Tomassi\, Visiting Researcher at University of Sheffield. “For example\, their bills: some can drill holes into trees\, some are serrated for catching fish\, some are specialized to collect nectar from a single species of flower\, some are extravagant to aid in mate attraction.” \nThe first day of the class\, April 17th 10am-2pm\, will be all about the basics of bird biology: evolutionary history\, anatomy and physiology\, social value of birds\, behavioral ecology (breeding\, migration\, molt)\, and field methods for studying birds. While Suzanne touches on all these subjects\, she likes the audience to drive the specifics of the class. Interrupt at any time so that all of your questions get addressed! \nOn day two\, April 18th 6am-10am\, we’ll meet outside to set up some mist nets! With a little luck\, we’ll catch some birds and see for ourselves the things we discussed in class the previous day. Participants will be able to observe handling and measuring techniques and learn how to set up and take down the nets. \n“The science of ornithology provides endless opportunities to further understanding of the natural world\,” says Suzanne. “My greatest interest lies in the distribution of birds’ energetic resources.” \n2-day class cost is $60 for WRI-Members and $70 non-members. Food and lodging is not included. Please dress appropriate for the weather\, bring snacks and water. Limit of 15 participants so please\, register soon!\nQuestions?
