Cornell\, recently retired from the DNR\, lives in the driftless area of Wisconsin. One day he noted a newly created beaver pond near his home. He set up a blind at the edge of the pond on a bright spring day to photograph the eagle he had seen hunting the area. He relates that this photo session grew into an obsession\, and he subsequently spent a year visiting the blind and documenting a year in the life of the beaver pond. During that time\, Cornell observed 61 species of birds and nine species of mammals\, as well as numerous fish\, insects\, and toads that were drawn to that small beaver pond. He went on to publish “A Year at a Beaver Pond: Observations from One Little Dynamic Ecosystem\,” a book with exquisite photography and insightful text. \nRegister today for this Wednesday\, August 14th\, opportunity to hear Al Cornell speak about his experience and to see his delightful photos documenting a year at a beaver pond!

Ryan will discuss ICF’s work here in Wisconsin and worldwide. The story of the Sandhill Crane\, Grus canadensis\, is one of true conservation success. The species – one of the oldest on the planet – was nearly extirpated in the Midwest. Sandhill Cranes are now thriving due to a mix of factors\, including better wetland protection and management and their shift to agricultural crops after losing their natural grassland habitat.  \nRyan Michalesko works on the North American Program team at the International Crane Foundation. With a footprint in over 50 countries on the five continents where cranes exist\, the foundation works worldwide to conserve cranes and the ecosystems\, watersheds\, and flyways on which they depend. He has a bachelor’s degree in Natural Resource Planning and a master’s degree in Natural Resource Policy from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. \nRegistration is recommended\, but not required. \nREGISTER\nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X URL:https://northpikescreek.org/calendar-event/saving-cranes-august-8/ LOCATION:Beaver Hollow\, 88850 Compton Rd\, Bayfield\, WI\, 54814 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northpikescreek.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Sandhill-crane-iS-820x400-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Friends of the North Pikes Creek Wetlands":MAILTO:info@northpikescreek.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240724T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240724T150000 DTSTAMP:20260423T050851 CREATED:20240219T231856Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240414T124551Z UID:8343-1721829600-1721833200@northpikescreek.org SUMMARY:Northern Flying Squirrels - Forest Gliders DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, July 24th\, Michael Joyce will present “Northern Flying Squirrels – Forest Gliders” at 2 pm at the Beaver Hollow pavilion. Climate change is altering the distribution of many animal species\, creating new zones of overlap between species that historically did not coexist. Flying squirrels are important members of our forest communities throughout the Western Great Lakes Region. In the much of eastern North America\, climate change is allowing southern flying squirrels to move north into areas that were previously solely occupied by northern flying squirrels\, leading in some places to increased competition and displacement of northern flying squirrels. In this presentation\, Joyce will discuss flying squirrel ecology and ongoing research on flying squirrel distribution\, nest site selection\, and parasites in Minnesota. \nMichael Joyce is a wildlife ecologist working at the Natural Resources Research Institute in Duluth. He has been studying wildlife in northern Minnesota over the last 12 years. His research focuses broadly on wildlife ecology\, conservation\, and management\, with an emphasis on understanding the effects of human activities on wildlife populations and communities. Join us on July 24th to hear about these fascinating gliders. \nRegistration is recommended\, but not required. \nREGISTER HERE\nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X URL:https://northpikescreek.org/calendar-event/northern-flying-squirrels/ LOCATION:Beaver Hollow\, 88850 Compton Rd\, Bayfield\, WI\, 54814 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northpikescreek.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/flyingsquirrel.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240718T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240718T150000 DTSTAMP:20260423T050851 CREATED:20240322T170213Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240717T163933Z UID:8356-1721311200-1721314800@northpikescreek.org SUMMARY:Saving Cranes and the Places Where They Dance DESCRIPTION:This presentation has been canceled and rescheduled for August 8th at 2 pm. \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X URL:https://northpikescreek.org/calendar-event/sandhill-cranes/ LOCATION:WI CATEGORIES:Birds ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northpikescreek.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Sandhill-crane-iS-820x400-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Friends of the North Pikes Creek Wetlands":MAILTO:info@northpikescreek.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240710T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240710T150000 DTSTAMP:20260423T050851 CREATED:20240219T231154Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240707T151651Z UID:8340-1720620000-1720623600@northpikescreek.org SUMMARY:Fishers - Cryptic Forest Carnivores DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, July 10th\, Michael Joyce will present “Fishers – Cryptic Forest Carnivores” at 2 pm at the Beaver Hollow pavilion. Fishers are a member of the weasel family and native to the Western Great Lakes Region. In Minnesota\, the core population of fishers has declined by 50% over the last 20 years. During the same time\, fishers have expanded their range\, moving into southern Minnesota including the greater Twin Cities Metro area. Joyce will discuss a general history of fishers\, highlight factors contributing to their recent decline\, and describe ongoing research to better understand fisher ecology. \nMichael Joyce is a wildlife ecologist working at the Natural Resources Research Institute in Duluth.
