SUMMARY:Deadline for submissions to The Power of Perspective
DESCRIPTION:The Birds of Vermont Museum seeks art that speaks to both humans’ and birds’ perspectives and experiences. How might a change in perspective alter people’s understanding of the lives and needs of the birds who share our world? \nTODAY is the last day to submit artworks in any media\, by new or returning artists\, of any age\, to the Power of Perspective art show by 11:59 PM! \nOur 2024 show is about the ways perspective and points of view can shape what we perceive. How do we focus our creative “vision”? Consider the scope of an eagle’s eye—the narrow view of a gleaning warbler—the shadowed sight of a loon underwater. We may see birds above us from the ground\, or below us from a plane. We may use a camera lens to record from afar\, or a magnifier and lamps to perceive what is normally unknown. How does time influence your perspective? What if we “zoom out” from one bird to a species\, to an ecosystem\, to a planet? What if we “zoom in” to one bird to its wing\, to a feather\, to a gene? \nThe entire Call to Artists with all details is at https://birdsofvermont.org/2023/12/05/call-to-artists-perspective/  \nCreators can submit up to 3 pieces for consideration by using our online form at https://tinyurl.com/bovm-art-2024 .  Each work submitted should be accompanied by your contact info and a brief description of the piece (type\, media\, when made). (Need to use email or USPS instead? See details at the Call to Artists.) \nEntries are due by Monday\, March 18\, 2024\, 11:59 PM \nThe art show runs from May to October at the Birds of Vermont Museum. \nThe whole Call to Artists with all details is at https://birdsofvermont.org/2023/12/05/call-to-artists-perspective/

SUMMARY:Tree Identification for Birders and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever noticed a bird\, then wondered what kind of tree it was in\, or why it was there? Us too! Let’s take a walk and explore tree identification with Forester Kathleen Stutzman. \nOpen to folks with any and all levels of familiarity with trees and/or birds.\n\nRegister through Eventbrite\nRegister for Trees\n\n\nKathleen adds\, “I think the walk will focus on identifying trees\, but I probably won’t be able to resist talking about shrubs and herbaceous plants that we also encounter and are common!” \nKathleen is a conservation forester for Vermont Family Forests and has a BS in Forestry\, as well as being a birder. \nMax: 12 people \nSuggested donation $10 – $15 • Registration required. \nPair of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks … in what kind of tree?

SUMMARY:the Big Sit 2023!
DESCRIPTION:The most relaxed birding around. And around and around … \nHow many birds (and birdwatchers) can we identify from a 17-foot diameter circle between sunrise and sunset? Can we beat last year’s record? We’ve seen birds big and small\, in night and day: from Kinglets to Great Blue Herons\, Barred Owls to Turkey Vultures. \nThis is a great long-running community science project. Pledges and donations welcome:\n \nWe are observing from Dawn to Dusk. The Museum is open from 10am – 4pm. \nCall or email to ask about joining the observation team. \nFor much more info\, see https://www.thebigsit.org/ . \nCheck out the reports from previous years: 2015\, 2016\, 2017\, 2018\, 2019\, 2020\, 2021 (overall)\, 2021 (ours)\, 2022 (overall)\, 2022 (ours)
