Slow Birding with Joan E. Strassmann
Slow Birding
Recorded on Thursday, July 18, 2024
Presented by Joan E. Strassmann, Ph.D., Professor of Biology, Washington University in St. Louis and Author of Slow Birding
In the heart of migration, it is easy to jump from one bird to the next, tallying counts of warblers, vireos, tanagers, and thrushes with increasing speed. But there is another way to approach birding-through slow, quiet observation. Join Dr. Strassmann in getting to know the most common birds, not just by sight, but by behavior. Discover their unique stories and enrich your experiences of our most commonly seen birds.

    Update on the cicada section for summer 2024- we live in central Illinois ( Coles County) and had both broods emerge here. The most in the country I believe. We even got on the news. We had to wear mowing earphones outside if we were going to be out more than a few minutes it was so loud! And… they do kill trees. Lots of them. Any small tree got decimated. They killed 3 of my Cornus Florida dogwoods and one was 17 feet tall.

    Regarding interlocking tree roots, 29:40, i would argue its the exact opposite. On my property we have had some fierce storms and straight line winds. One storm blew through in 2001 and took down over an acre of forest trees that were all within a few feet of each other. Meanwhile the large hedge trees all stood strong.

    • @oscarflip8561
      @oscarflip8561 8 месяцев назад

      There are native calamagrostis species in the U.S but, you’re definitely correct, Calamagrostis X acutiflora or ‘Karl forester’ feather reed grass is not native to North America. Everyone makes mistakes, but given how overused it is in landscapes, a little hard to believe someone making a presentation on native grasses and sedges including both c3 and c4 grasses as well as explaining poaceae inflorescences, wouldn’t know that 🤔

    • @oscarflip8561
      @oscarflip8561 8 месяцев назад

      @@ericjorgensen8028 while it’s not necessarily a negative plant since it’s sterile and doesn’t become invasive or even exotic and naturalized, many skipper butterflies use only native grasses as host plants, and birds use those caterpillars from the skipper butterflies as a vital food source, and also eat the seeds of many of the native grasses as a winter food source. So while not necessarily bad, Karl forester grass doesn’t provide many of the important ecological services our native grasses do. I have some at my house that I planted before I knew about the significance of native plants, and it does look nice- but there’s better options. I recommend experimenting with some yourself. There are so many ornamental natives that weren’t mentioned in this video. My favorites are probably little bluestem, blue grama, and split-beard bluestem, but once again, there’s so many for every look! (I think Indian grass, is probably the best look-alike native replacement.) hope you decide to try some native grasses, they may surprise you with their beauty!

This planting is continuing this year with 30 hybrid whites. 25 Regular whites crabapple, and white pine. I read your book, and I like what you say. You never stop educating yourself. I love the blue Jay story because I found an acorn on my railing and there are no oaks within several hundred yard's. I'm sure a Blue jay dropped it off. Thanks for the videos.

    I am enjoying your talk very much as I also am a naturalist. I find your asking of “why”questions regarding why an organism has certain features or certain behaviors confusing. Evolution is described as random chance mixing of matter. Evolution does not “know” anything. It is not a thing, or a mind. There cannot be a “why” question. “why”questions are looking for reasons that an organism has certain characteristics. Reasons assume an intent or a plan. Random chance mixing of the basic elements cannot organize; Cannot create the language of DNA. Evolution is merely a naming word for the idea that random chance can create the information systems necessary for life. We are using language to say that no language is needed for life to come into existence. It’s time for a new theory.

    Always a pleasure listening to the legend Doug. I have been planting swamp white oak here almost daily, as well as other native trees, shrubs, wildflowers and herbs. I will continue to do my best to restore the habitat and forests that are right in our own backyards. Thank you everyone for doing your part. If you’re in southeastern MI then I have some acorns still if you’d be interested to come and get a few for yourselves. If you decide to find them on your own then you can test to see if they’re good or not with the water trick. Put them in a bucket of water and the floaters are no good while the ones that sink are good to be planted. I’ll continue to get more acorns myself and of different native species as well. Aiming to open a business eventually or an organization perhaps but for now just doing my best to be helpful. Anyways, great chat and look forward to many more.

    Great video, thank you! Those caterpillars that look like twigs was truly mind-blowing. The more people learn about nature, the more they will be interested and want to preserve it. I was disappointed that Doug didn't answer the question about mulching leaves (unless all times are truly equally destructive). I have tried for years to save my leaves with out mulching, but I find the whole leaves just blow around and don't stay on my beds or under the trees. I finally bought a leaf mulcher this year, and now they stay where I put them (which is essential on smaller properties). If there is a less-bad time to mulch that would really be helpful to know.
