Topic: Bird Rehabilitation
Speaker: Tim Jasinski, Wildlife Rehabilitation Specialist at Lake Erie Nature and Science Center
Tim works with birds large and small!
|
Our December speaker is Tim Jasinski from Lake Erie Nature and Science Center. He will tell us about the work he does there - rehabbing birds that people find injured or in some other way incapacitated - including birds injured in collisions with buildings during migration. He works closely with Lights Out Cleveland and will share an update on Lights Out Cleveland as well.
Tim has been a “bird nerd” since around the age of five. He had feeders up and would mark in his field guide what species he had seen. He raised and bred caged birds starting when he was 13 years old, and now raises Homing Pigeons. He started as a volunteer at Lake Erie Nature & Science Center in 2007 and became a full time Wildlife Rehabilitation Specialist in 2013. Wildlife rehabilitation has been a passion of his for over 30 years! With Harvey Webster, he initiated the monitoring program for Lights Out Cleveland in Spring 2017. According to Tim, “Birds Rule!” |

Ornithology News and Discoveries from 2021
Presented by Dr. Andy Jones
Ornithology News and Discoveries from 2021
Presented by Dr. Andy Jones
|
Dr. Andy Jones returned for his annual talk to the Kirtland Bird Club to highlight recent exciting findings from the world of ornithology. There are thousands of academic papers published every year on the biology of birds. These new discoveries are sometimes highlighted in newspapers, magazines, and on your Facebook feed, but far too many simply don't get the public attention that they deserve. Dr. Jones will highlight the taxonomic changes that birders will want to know about, as well as other discoveries that will simply make us more observant and more informed birders.

Dr. Andy Jones holds the William A. and Nancy R. Klamm Chair and Curator of Ornithologist at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. He received his BS in Biological Sciences from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, and his PhD in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior from the University of Minnesota. Dr. Jones originally hails from east Tennessee, where his passion for natural history began at an early age; his first field notes were a count of toads in his front yard at age five. His current research involves the evolutionary history of birds, diagnosing new hybrid combinations, and migration insights from Lights Out Cleveland. Dr. Jones is responsible for the Museum’s collection of avian specimens, which consists of over 35,000 study skins as well as thousands of nests, eggs, and skeletons. His other tasks include providing various services to the scientific community, the media, the Museum’s exhibitions and education divisions as well as the public at large. Dr. Jones has served as the Secretary of the American Ornithological Society since 2014, and in 2017 was elected as a Fellow of that organization.
