Annual Members' Night
|
|
At our annual members' night, DuPage Birding Club members present their
slides and digital photos of trips they have taken to some great birding
locations both near and far. It's a terrific chance to survey some of the
many great birding images captured by the club's skilled photographers.
Come out and see beautiful pictures taken of many great birds and wonderful
places!
Let Jeff Smith know (331-481-3362,

Climate Change Impacts on Wildlife: Birds in the
Chicagoland Region as a Case Study
|
Doug Stotz
|
|
Due to increased levels of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, global climate changes are already underway. Around Chicago, we've experienced warming temperatures over the past several decades. Flora and fauna of the upper Midwest have begun responding and adapting to these climatic changes. Doug will focus on changes in the timing of bird migration and breeding, and the wintering and breeding range of birds in the Chicagoland region. He will discuss the range of environmental factors influenced by climate to which birds may be responding, which of these factors may be most important for conservation planning, and additional adaptive changes we might expect.
