      <image:title>Events - White Nose Syndrome Presentation</image:title>
      <image:caption>Greg Turner (left in the picture from WESA c/o Kara Holsopple) is a certified wildlife biologist with research experience in disease ecology, behavior, genetic diversity, metabolic and reproductive physiology, and works professionally toward the conservation and management of bats. Mr. Turner has been monitoring and researching many aspects of bat ecology including focuses on hibernation dynamics and behavior, migration, foraging parameters, and fall swarm movements. Since 2007 extensive efforts have focused on understanding the spread, impacts, and physiological parameters of White-nose Syndrome (WNS) in North American bats. Specific WNS related research including both published and works in progress include: development of a new and non-lethal diagnostic and measurement technique for WNS infections, changes in hibernation physiology, altering microclimates and measuring influences on WNS progression and prevalence, examining changes in infection load compared to length of time colony exposed to WNS, examining changes in body mass in response to WNS, and the use of antifungal agents to treat captive wild populations with WNS. Mr. Turner has also pioneered several techniques, now carefully validated, that will be used in the proposed research, including the use of data loggers to measure arousal patterns across hibernation, measuring and photographing WNS lesions with UV light, and examining changes in body mass index.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Sunday, February 5, 2023 – Winter Outing at the Beaverdale Sportsmen's Association If conditions allow, this will be a snowshoe/cross country ski excursion. If there is insufficient snow, we will rendezvous at the cabin and explore the winter landscape on foot. The cabin and accompanying inside fireplace will provide shelter and warmth and, if conditions allow, we may also have an outdoor fire at the pavilion for cooking and warming. Plan to carry in your lunch and any other provisions you wish to share at your comfort level. Spring water is available and camp coffee can be brewed for those that wish to enjoy the nostalgia. Unfortunately, at this time, we must ask everyone to use their best judgement concerning the weather and their attendance. Also, due to the unforeseeable, ongoing Covid precautions may still be employed if warranted.   Everyone is welcome.  Even those that do not ski, snowshoe or hike are encouraged to visit, tend the fires and enjoy the camaraderie of their fellow outdoor enthusiasts.  Attendees should access the area via Hollow Road in Ogletown off of Rt. 56. Old Bedford Pike (from Windber) does not receive winter maintenance so it may be impassable. If there is substantial snow, parking will be along Skyline Drive adjacent to the club's lane. Check the website for details before coming out.   We will meet at the Sportsmen's property along Old Bedford Pike/Skyline Drive at 9:00 a.m. Bob Stewart will meet anyone not familiar with the Beaverdale Sportsmen's property at the Clear Shade Wild Area parking lot, just off Route 56 in the Gallitzin State Forest west of Ogletown. Bob will depart the Clear Shade lot at 8:30 a.m. Check the website for updates. (Address: Beaverdale Sportsmen's: 3264 Old Bedford Pike Extension)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events - In January 2019, a small group of travelers visited Mexico to experience one of the greatest wonders on Earth: overwintering Monarchs. The group also explored a few of the natural wonders of Mexico’s Sierra Gorda – a biological melting pot unmatched in North America for its biodiversity – where we found endangered Military Macaws. As a result of visiting several Monarch sanctuaries in Mexico, Laura and Mike Jackson are even more committed to helping Monarchs on their property in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Learn about their trip, the mysteries of Monarch migration, and how we can work together to help Monarchs in our backyards.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Laura Jackson is a retired schoolteacher who loves to explore the outdoors and all of its creatures. Laura taught high school biology and environmental science in Bedford, PA. Her favorite hobbies are gardening with native plants, birdwatching, and nature photography. Laura is the Vice-President of Juniata Valley Audubon Society, and President of Save Our Allegheny Ridges. She also serves on the advisory group for Pennsylvania Forest Stewards and the Center for Private Forests at Penn State. She has been a Pennsylvania Forest Steward since 2000. Laura and her husband, Mike, have donated a conservation easement to Western Pennsylvania Conservancy to preserve the wildlife and forest on their property - they live south of Everett, PA.

      <image:title>Events - WATERFOWL IDENTIFICATION - With Jeff Payne</image:title>
      <image:caption>The ice is starting to melt and our feathered waterfowl friends are experiencing "zugunruhe". That is they have an incredible itch to get migrating! It happens that our area is on an excellent migratory pathway for a great many species of waterfowl and these large, colorful birds make for a great bird identifying exercise for both experienced birders and those wanting to learn about this exciting hobby. The Somerset County Conservancy is going to sponsor a waterfowl (and whoever else crosses our path) identification day at Shawnee Lake on Saturday March 20, 2021 at 10:00 am. We will meet at the parking lot on Rt 96 closest to Schellsburg (Shawnee State Park) and depending on group size may break up into 2 or more groups. Shawnee has plenty of parking spots so folks can drive in their own cars from one stop to the next. We will be outside but please bring masks for times we may be somewhat close together. If you have binoculars, scopes or field guides bring them along but we will also have a few loaners available. And remember, a good "duck day" is often a bit "fowl" with rain or wind so we will do this activity rain (dress appropriately) or shine. Please email us at mail@somersetconservancy.org to let us know you are coming or if you have any questions.</image:caption>
