Tom Ridge Environmental Center, Room 112. 7:00 p.m. Lights out Cleveland: Saving Migrating Birds One Warbler at a Time. Lights Out Cleveland Volunteer Coordinator, Liz McQuaid will share the mission and work of this enterprise which is a group of partnering organizations working together to create awareness about the effects brightly lit buildings have on nocturnally migrating birds. LOC partners with The Cleveland Museum of Natural History and Lake Erie Nature and Science Center, and is a part of Ohio Lights Out, a network of regional programs aimed at making urban landscapes safer for migratory birds. Lights Out is coordinated by the Ohio Bird Conservation. but is successful only through the collaboration & effort of dozens of organizations. Created in 2017, the program now has 78 monitoring volunteers and 4 administrative volunteers plus other people in partnering organizations who help take care of the live birds that come in or process those going into a museum collection. Twenty-three buildings are involved in this effort. Liz McQuaid has been birding the Cleveland area most of her life, but got serious in 1992. She is part of the team to prove the Cleveland Lakefront Nature Preserve an Important Bird Area, is co-advisor for the NE Chapter of the Ohio Young Birder's Club, volunteers with the Western Cuyahoga Audubon Society, the Biggest Week, the Kirtland Bird Club, as well as Lights Out Cleveland. |
