The PGAS and the Patuxent Bird Club, a chapter of the Maryland Ornithological
Maureen Blades’ presidency established a high standard for leadership of the Prince George’s Audubon Society. She was an early member of the chapter. During her terms as an officer and director, this chapter established an unprecedented working relationship with the Maryland-National Park and Planning Commission. She was instrumental in forging a partnership to assist in the clean-up, management, and programming of the Fran Uhler Natural Area; establishing the Luther Goldman Birding Trail at Lake Artemesia; and coordinating the Adopt-A-Pond agreement at the Governor Bridge Natural Area that acknowledges our chapter’s long clean-up efforts there. Maureen also coordinated PGAS’s liaison with M-NCPPC to obtain its cooperation in locating our Birding in the Americas’ fall festival and Monarch Waystation at Lake Artemesia. M-NCPPC is now an active cosponsor as well as a participant in the festival. This year, Maureen discovered a beautiful butterfly bench, and worked with The Luther Committee to purchase it. The manufacturer shipped it without delivery and additional charges. She worked with M-NCPPC to install the bench adjacent to the chapter’s Monarch Waystation and their wildflower-milkweed meadow. The public enjoys this unique new amenity. These are only some of Maureen’s many accomplishments.
As the new President of PGAS, I hope to encourage more of our members to participate in the walks in our parks and our other activities, continue our organization’s strong
President’s Perch to name a few. Thanks to Maureen’s coordination, our programs will now take place at the new College Park Airport’s Operations Building.
Not only is Maureen continuing as a member of the board, the newsletter editor, and publicity coordinator, but she succeeded in recruiting and maintaining active, knowledgeable, concerned members to participate on the board. With their help and the help of our volunteer members, our chapter will remain a strong contributor to our community’s ornithological and other ecological programs.

relationship with M-NCPPC, expand our joint activities with the Patuxent Bird Club and other organizations, and undertake initiatives presented by opportunity. Our chapter will also continue its efforts to further the objectives of the National Audubon Society and continue community outreach programs at local libraries, festivals and other events. Our speakers programs this year continue in conjunction with the Patuxent Bird Club and include Hawk Identification, Satin Bowerbirds of Australia, the ecology of sea ducks and other birds wintering in the Chesapeake, Purple Martins, and Chimney Swifts
Transitions
Those who know me know that I could not step down as President of this chapter without a few words, only they would laugh at the “few words” part. The last three years have been an exciting, busy, hard, humbling, and fun time with great people, from board members to volunteers to people I’ve met at our events, walks, programs, and activities. It’s been the board members past and present who have been the “fun” part–a friendly, energetic, committed, hard working group of Audubon members full of ideas who have followed through and turned them into projects with their time and muscle–from pulling weeds on their hands and knees to create our pollinator garden at Lake Artemesia to setting up and taking down tables at libraries, and community events, and bringing to life the 3rd annual fall birding festival proudly touted in this newsletter. Someone asked me recently what
I was proudest of during these years–all of the above, plus honoring Luther Goldman with the butterfly bench, but it’s been those board members who gave a new vitality to our chapter with a slew of projects and commitments on which we keep improving. Thank you all. I am fortunate to be able to continue working alongside each of you under Ken’s able leadership. Thank you, too, to Kyle Lowe, Acting Director of the M-NCPPC’s Natural and Historical Resources Division for his can-do spirit and continued support, and to Andrea Tracey, Director of the College Park Aviation Museum and her dedicated staff for their hospitality and help hosting us since November 2014.
MaureenP.S. I hope you’ll seek out the butterfly bench on the train track side of the lake, read its dedication plaque, and sit awhile.
A Big Thank You!

October ProgramSatin Bowerbirds in Australia Featured Speaker: Joshua Kiner7:30 p.m., Tuesday, October 11, 2016College Park Airport Operations Building, 1909 Cpl. Frank Scott DriveEvolution by sexual selection has given rise to some of the most extravagant, beautiful, and otherwise hideous organisms in the natural world. One extraordinary example of how sexual selection has shaped the behavior of such creatures is the bowerbird (Ptilonoryhnchidae). This family of birds is endemic to Australia and Papua New Guinea and the males are best known for the construction of courtship display sites called “bowers.” In this presentation, Joshua “Josh” Kiner will share his field research at Wallaby Creek in New South Wales, Australia, where he studied the mating behavior of the Satin Bowerbird (Ptilonorhynchus violaceus) as a graduate student at the University of Maryland. In addition to highlighting some of the fascinating studies that have been conducted at Wallaby Creek, Josh will share stories, pictures, and videos of bowerbird behavior and the challenges of documenting their behavior in the wild.
Josh Kiner received his BS in biology from Millersville University in Lancaster, Pennyslvania, where an ornithology course turned his professional and personal life upside down. He went on to complete an MS in Biology at the University of Maryland, for which he traveled to New South Wales, Australia, to study the mating behavior of Satin Bowerbirds. Though he has since left research for an administrative coordinator position in the Department of Entomology at the University, he continues to find tremendous joy sharing the life of birds with others. Josh has previously given a bird identification workshop in College Park and led a spring bird walk at Lake Artemesia, both sponsored by the College Park Arts Exchange and the Committee for a Better Environment. He has also presented his research in Australia at “Nerd Nite” at DC9 in Washington, DC.
I got a call from my Chesapeake Current editor, Diane Burr, in late May that she had an injured heron in her backyard. My park ranger husband and I grabbed a large pet carrier and an old butterfly net with the idea we could catch the injured bird and take it to a local wildlife rehabilitator.
We drove over to check out the situation. Diane told us the bird ran under her deck. It must have been smaller than we thought to get under there. We looked and saw nothing. Diane described the bird and the more she talked, the more we thought this does not sound like a long-necked heron, even a small Green Heron.
We all walked over to her neighbor’s house, and he told us about the mystery bird. He said it ran between his house and the next house in a little alleyway several times. He thought it was not even scared of the lawnmower. He described it as grey in color. He also thought it might be going down to the nearby new fish pond in the North Beach Sculpture Park to get food and water.
We poked around in the area, walked around Diane’s back yard and we decided we were not to see this mystery bird. Diane had a bad cell phone picture that did not look heron-like at all. Based on that picture, it looked very much like a rail, a secretive bird of the marshes.
Just a few minutes after we gave up the search, Diane was able to snap some more photos as the bird emerged from her backyard shrubbery. Based on the photos, I was able to make a positive identification. It was a salt marsh resident, the Clapper Rail (Rallus longirostris). Yellow beak, long chicken like legs, brownish feathers and a cute upturned tail are characteristics of this larger railbird.
I was familiar with the Clapper Rail from the salt marshes of Chincoteague, the island refuge I once called home when I worked there as
Mystery Bird Lurks In North BeachBy Lisa Bierer-Garrett
a seasonal ranger. You could clap your hands and then listen for the rail to answer back with its clapping clacking sound. Hard to see as they scurry between the marsh grasses and reeds, the saying “skinny as a rail” comes from these fast thin waterbirds.
I currently work at Patuxent River Park along the Jug Bay Natural Area. It is well known as a rail bird hunting ground from back in the early 1900s. In fact, our office building is the old McClure Gun Club built in the 1870s. Hunters came from near and far to be guided on “push boats” by hunting guides in the Fall to go gunning for rails, ducks and waterfowl that stopped and fed on the extensive wild rice marsh grasses along their fall migration southward. The species of rails that called the freshwater Patuxent home are the seed-eating rails such as Sora Rail, Virginia Rail and King Rail. The Clapper Rail likes saltwater where they can catch fish, insects and crustaceans.
Based on that information, we decided that Diane had a Clapper Rail

living in her shrubs! It probably was displaced by a large storm we had with strong winds in May on its annual migration back to Maryland saltwater marshes. It took shelter under her deck and found abundant food at the pond. It never appeared truly injured and the neighbors had seen it for a week after we went to look for it and it appeared fine. As we didn’t need to capture it we could rest easy.
The good news is that I live down by the wetlands of North Beach and one evening recently I heard the distinct clapping of the Clapper Rail coming from the marsh. It had found its way back to our salt marsh habitat from downtown North Beach. We hope to hear it many evenings as it raises another generation of rails.

Did You Know...?The University of Maryland’s Dennis vanEnglesdorp Honeybee Laboratory has launched an initiative to address the declining population of the state’s official butterfly—the Baltimore Checkerspot. Currently the endangered Checkerspot can be found in only 7 counties. The initiative seeks to expand this population and its habitat to Prince George’s County. According to a recent article, published in the University’s newspaper, The Diamondback, the difficulty in maintaining the Checkerspot’s population is because its larvae and caterpillars only feed on the white turtlehead–a plant that thrives in marshy areas. Unfortunately the Checkerspot isn’t the only animal that loves this plant—deer do too! See the original article at http://www.dbknews.com/2016/07/28/checkerspot-butterfly-endangered/.
Most bird clubs shut down during July and August. And there’s good reason for doing so. The trees are fully leafed out making it difficult to get a clean look, and there are only a few precious hours after sunrise when it is cool enough for the birds to be active. But I like to tell new birders that there are probably more birds in Maryland in August than any other time of the year.
The summer birds are still mostly here, some migrants are coming through, and all those successful hatchlings are busy learning their trade. That’s why the Prince George’s Audubon Society still holds regular walks during the summer, and why more than a dozen birders showed up for the Governor Bridge Natural Area walk Saturday, August 20, on a day when the forecast called for highs kissing triple digits. The reward for rising early and slogging around in the heat for 31/2 hours?? A list of 40 species, the staccato serenade of Yellow-billed Cuckoos, a serious scolding from a White-eyed Vireo, a couple of glimpses of young migrant Chestnut-sided Warblers, and most importantly, the (very) warm feeling that you are no fair weather birder!
