Bird Conservation Through the Eyes of a Baltimore Oriole

The November 17th meeting of the Horicon Marsh Bird Club will feature
speaker Andy Paulios, Coordinator of the Wisconsin Bird Conservation
Initiative (WBCI) since 2002 for the Wisconsin DNR.
        Andy’s talk will tell the story of a Baltimore Oriole.  He will use
that story to help the audience understand how WBCI partners have
changed their bird conservation approach to think about working across
the full life-cycle of migratory birds.  WBCI is an impressive project
that acts as a clearinghouse and coordinating center for statewide
research and education on birdlife. It encourage citizen scientists to
keep their eyes and ears attuned to the outdoors, to make solid,
regular outdoor observations, to engage in scientific exploration and
to record those results in ways that are useful for making decisions.
There is a great need to encourage amateur scientists to keep finding
and using their natural curiosity about the world of nature that
surrounds them. He will highlight some exciting new partner efforts
and end with some ways people, especially the bird club members, can
get involved.
        Andy has been birding since he was a little kid growing up in
Rochester, MN. He received his BA from Luther College and MS degree
from UW Green Bay. He is motivated by all things with feathers. Much
of his childhood was spent identifying waterfowl and other marsh birds
along the Mississippi River south of Wabasha MN. Andy spends most of
his time watching birds or thinking about bird conservation.
Currently his favorite bird is the Magnolia Warbler, but he's partial
to just about anything with feathers. He lives in McFarland, WI with
his wife, two kids, and dog, Buster. He has a great sense of humor,
which will make his presentation enjoyable to all.
        This meeting will be held on the 3rd Thursday of November(the 17th)
at 7:00 PM at the Horicon Marsh International Education Center on Hwy
28, north of Horicon.  The public is welcome.
