SUMMARY:Great Backyard Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is a free\, fun\, and easy event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of bird populations. Count birds in your backyard\, local park or wherever you spot a bird and submit your observations online.  Participants are asked to count birds for as little as 15 minutes (or as long as they wish) on one or more days of the four-day event and report their sightings online at birdcount.org. Anyone can take part in the Great Backyard Bird Count\, from beginning bird watchers to experts\, and you can participate from your backyard\, or anywhere in the world. \nEach checklist submitted during the GBBC helps researchers at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society learn more about how birds are doing\, and how to protect them and the environment we share. Last year\, more than 140\,000 participants submitted their bird observations online\, creating the largest instantaneous snapshot of global bird populations ever recorded. \n  \nRegister to Participate at www.birdcount.org

SUMMARY:Naked Eye Astronomy
DESCRIPTION:Join OCCA for a night of star gazing! \nThe skies of winter provide us with spectacular stars and constellations to view. At no other time of the year are there so many bright stars (stars with apparent magnitude less than 1) in the sky. Additionally planets Saturn & Venus may  be visible on the western horizon and mighty Jupiter and Mars will be visible as well. We plan a tour of some well known constellations and stars and discuss the myths and stories for which many are named. Then we will attempt to locate the most distant object the human eye can see without the aid of telescopes. The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is located 2.5 million light years from Earth\, and it ought to be in prime viewing position for us on this evening. \nNo need to bring binoculars or telescopes\, this is “Naked Eye Astronomy”. Do bring a comfortable lawn chair\, warm clothes maybe even a blanket and gloves. \n\n\nWe will meet inside the workshop at Mohican Farm at 7:00 for a brief overview of what we hope to see. Please if you have any questions write them down so we can discuss. I have found that your Astronomy question is likely one which many other folks have as well. We then head outside and let our eyes acclimate for a glorious evening of star gazing. \nAfter the program\, which should last 45min. – an hour\, we will return inside for hot chocolate. \nStars are best viewed on a cloudless night. If the sky is overcast\, we will reschedule for Saturday\, January 25. \nSign up in advance with OCCA

SUMMARY:Birdability Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Join Delaware-Otsego Audubon Society (DOAS) on Friday\, January 17 at 7:30 p.m. on Zoom\, for a presentation on Birdability’s initiatives to enhance access and inclusivity for birders with disabilities and other health challenges. \nCat Fribley\, Executive Director of Birdability.org\, and Virginia Rose\, founder of Birdability\, will delve into the organization’s mission\, providing a detailed exploration of its efforts to make birding more accessible and inclusive\, and how we all have a role. \nThis session will introduce the Birdability Map\, provide information about barriers and what helps create access for birders with disabilities and other health concerns\, and offer practical insights for creating accessible events and spaces. Attendees will gain actionable tips and tools to help create access and inclusion in their communities. \nThis program is provided free of charge and open to the public. Register at the following URL: https://tinyurl.com/y5hetdhp \nPresenter Bios \nCat Fribley (she/her) serves as the Executive Director of Birdability. With a rich background in nonprofit development\, a passion for birding\, and a steadfast commitment to disability rights\, she brings a unique perspective to this role. Cat’s journey into birding began in college\, where it became a source of mental health support and healing following a PTSD diagnosis. Over time\, a series of physical injuries and illnesses led her to seek adaptive ways to continue birding as a form of mindfulness and connection with nature\, despite limited mobility. Her experiences navigating accessible birding opportunities while traveling to all 50 states have made her especially attuned to the work of Birdability and the importance of the Birdability Map. She now resides in Iowa City\, IA\, with her wife and two indoor cats\, within a beloved community and among a variety of backyard birds. \n  \nVirginia Rose (she/her) fell off a horse at the age of 14 which resulted in a spinal cord injury. A wheelchair user ever since\, she began birding 17 years ago and discovered her best self in nature. She founded Birdabilty in 2018 and leads accessible Birdability outings for Travis Audubon and at birding festivals each year. As a retired high school English teacher\, she is passionate about bringing the same joy\, empowerment and community she found in birding and nature to others who have mobility challenges.
