Join Jason “the Birdnerd” St. Sauver, Senior Education Manager for Audubon Great Plains at Spring Creek Prairie Audubon Center in Nebraska, to learn about and engage with grassland birds of the Great Plains and Audubon’s efforts to keep their populations from declining. During this presentation, Jason will discuss several priority grassland bird species, explore how they connect across the country’s grasslands and compare to grassland species of the southwest, and share current tools & techniques used for management and tracking – from fire to bird banding (with some entertaining bird songs and calls thrown in for good measure!).

Event will begin at 5pm with the potluck dinner beginning at about 5:30 (please wait for all the guest to arrive - we'll announce when it's time to eat!). The presentation will immediately follow the meal. Come join us, invite a friend, and bring a dish to share. Also, don't forget to bring some food items to donate to the Santa Cruz food bank!

*This presentation is part of our annual Potluck Presentation Series. Check out the full 2025 schedule at https://bit.ly/AWRRpotluck.
