SUMMARY:Climate Watch Spring Season
DESCRIPTION:Climate Watch Spring Season \nClimate Watch is sponsored by the National Audubon Society (NAS) & takes place during two distinct seasons—winter (January 15-February 15) and summer (May 15-June 15). Below is the alert for any season (winter or summer) . \nLike the Christmas bird count this is a chance to help create “citizen science” for birds. Climate Watch focuses on these target species: Eastern Bluebird\, Mountain Bluebird\, Western Bluebird\, White-breasted Nuthatch\, Red-breasted Nuthatch\, Brown-headed Nuthatch\, Pygmy Nuthatch\, American Goldfinch\, Lesser Goldfinch\, Painted Bunting\, Eastern Towhee\, and Spotted Towhee. \nThese birds are easy to identify\, have an enthusiastic constituency\, and Audubon’s climate models for these species offer strong predictions for range shifts for us to test. In future years\, Climate Watch may include additional target species threatened by climate change. We believe that western bluebird and painted bunting are not normally in SD. All the other birds occur in all or parts of SD. \nVisit this page to see where these birds are in SD\, and which are near you: \nhttps://www.sdakotabirds.com/species_main.htm\nLocation Climate Watch focuses on areas of predicted change for these 12 species at each location across the continent. Audubon provides volunteers with online mapping tools with a grid of 10 km x 10 km squares showing species-specific predictions for each square based on the climate models. A Climate Watch Coordinator can help select your location and survey square. If you are participating on your own\, use the online maps to decide in which square to do your surveys. You will be able to see which squares are already “claimed”. \nHow to count Volunteers should first make sure to read through all of the materials including the full protocol manual. The Climate Watch protocol is different than any other birding program. Then using the planning done with the online maps\, volunteers survey appropriate habitat for the target species within a square and conduct 12 point counts of five minutes each within one morning\, then record the number and species of all birds seen or heard within 100 meters. Participants send the data to the National Audubon Society. \nHow data will be used  Audubon’s 2019 climate change report\, ‘Survival By Degrees\, – https://www.audubon.org/climate/survivalbydegrees – reveals that up to two-thirds of North American birds are vulnerable to extinction due to climate change. For example\, the beautiful Mountain Bluebird is vulnerable because in the vast majority of its summer range\, the climate conditions that this bird needs—temperature\, amount of rainfall\, and other environmental factors—will shift northward and eastward. This bird may be able to move into new areas over time\, or it may struggle to adapt. To test the report’s predictions\, Audubon has developed Climate Watch\, which aims to document species’ responses to climate change and test Audubon’s climate models by having volunteers in the field look for birds where Audubon’s climate models predict they will be in the 2020s. This information helps Audubon target our conservation work to protect birds. See the Climate Watch results page here to see our early reports and results from the data received by Climate Watch volunteers so far! \nLink to the Climate-watch program on the National Audubon Society web page \nhttps://www.audubon.org/conservation/climate-watch \nClimate watch instructions for participants \nhttps://www.audubon.org/news/participant-resources-climate-watch\nClimate watch for beginners webinar\, – this has much of the same info as our November meeting \nhttps://audubon.zoom.us/rec/share/xe9NAZTe6WVOf7fz2kbRAYAQMI66eaa8hCFL_fNZn0k3a8uNjHkvp4-EZzq7vlq_?startTime=1588186808000\n\n\nOur web page on community science efforts: \n https://phas-wsd.org/citizen-science/ \n

SUMMARY:"No Kings" protest in Spearfish\, SD June 14th
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\nTime\n\n\nSaturday\, June 14\n11am – 12:30pm MDT\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nNorth Main Street & West Jackson Street\n\nSpearfish\, SD 57783 \n\nLink to web page:\n\nhttps://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/786835/?utm_source=indivisible\n\nQuote from the above web page:\n\n\n“About this event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“In America\, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech\, detained people for their political views\, threatened to deport American citizens\, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies. \n🚨On Saturday\, June 14\, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.🚨 \nThe flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it. \nOn June 14th\, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones\, no crowns\, no kings. Check out nokings.org for more information. \nA core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.” \n\nThere are 5 other protest events in SD\, at Sioux Falls\, Brookings\, Watertown\, Pierre and Rapid City.

SUMMARY:Kick out the Clowns & No Kings Nationwide Protest\, Rapid City 2 local events 12-3:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:“Kick out the Clowns”  & “No Kings”  Nationwide Protests\, Rapid City – 2 local events-12 pm -3:30pm – a bunch in SD\n\nhttps://action.womensmarch.com/events/rapid-city-kick-out-the-clowns-end-the-greatest-shit-show-on-earth?akid=22578.3878946.hIHdfi \n================================= \n“No Kings” protest starts at  12 pm \n12 pm-1:30 -pm \n\nLocation\n300 6th Street \n\n\nRapid City\, South Dakota\, 57701\n\n==========================\n“Kick out the Clowns” protest starts at 1:30 pm\nRapid City\, SD 57701 \n\n\n\nStarts & Ends on\nSaturday\, June 14\, 2025 at 1:30- 3:30 PM MDT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFounders Park\n1510 West Omaha Street\nRapid City\, SD\, 57701\nUnited States\nGet Directions via Google Maps \n\n\n=====\n\n\nQuote from the “Kick out the Clowns” web page: \n\n\n“When you elect clowns\, they don’t become leaders. The country becomes a circus. 🤡”\n\n“On June 14\, Donald Trump will honor himself with a four-mile military parade in our nation’s capitol. Trump’s tacky parade was inspired by dictators he idolizes\, and will cost taxpayers nearly $100 million.\n\nOrganizer and strategist Daniel Hunter has written that “Humor is important for our psyches — and to take fascists down a notch[…] Humor is key for morale and exposing the vulnerability of the strongman image.” This is where the ridiculous meets the resistance—and where the future is on the line.\n\nJune 14 is our chance to reflect the absurdity of the MAGA regime and the clowns who lead it. To meet this moment\, Women’s March will host community circuses nationwide—bold\, creative actions that mirror the chaos MAGA has sown across the country. Together\, we’ll set a national record for the most circuses held in a single day while we simultaneously refuse to celebrate a petty clown who desperately wants to be seen as strong. We won’t stop until we build the country we all deserve.\n`\n\nOur grassroots street circuses turn satire into resistance and reclaim the big tent for democracy. \nFind all our socials at:  https://www.linktr.ee/50501sd \n\n#KickOutTheClowns\n#GreatestShitshowOnEarth\n#CommunitiesNotClowns\n#ClownsAgainstClowns \n#BigTentResistance”\n\n\nKick out the Clowns protest events\, nation wide\, organized at least in part by Women’s March \nWhen: June 14\, 2025 (Trump’s Birthday & his military parade)📍 Where: Everywhere — with the flagship event in Madison\, WI \n  \nYou can register with “Women’s March” at this link\, so as to be informed if an event happens near you: \nhttps://act.womensmarch.com/survey/kick-out-clowns-pledge-mobilize/?t=3&akid=22477%2E3878946%2EqFRjUd \nMobilize also has a map of protest activities during the spring\, and you can look up your town on that \nhttps://www.mobilize.us/map/?org_ids=967 \n\n  \n===== \nThere are 6 “No Kings” protest events in SD\, at Sioux Falls\, Brookings\, Watertown\, Pierre\, Spearfish and Rapid City.  I think Indivisible may be organizing theses. There are also virtual events\, during the day.  View the map and click on links for more information: \nhttps://www.nokings.org/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible#map

SUMMARY:Deadline to Comment on ND Mt Lion & Furbearer (beaver & otter)seasons
DESCRIPTION:June 14\, 2025 @ 11:30 pm – 11:59 pm\n\n\n\nThere is actually no specific day for the deadline to comment to ND on their furbearer regulations that we know of – \, so I just picked June 14th\,.  The Department will send their  recommendations  to the Governor on July 17th. This gives staff 3 days to read your comments.  The Governor issues a proclamation about the hunting seasons\, likely in  July. I will update this post if I learn of a deadline. \nND has a 365 day (year long) beaver trapping season statewide. It has a 25 otter harvest limit. \nIt has 2 mt lion hunting zones. \nZone 1 early-season – Opens: August 30 – Closes: November 24. Mountain lions may be harvested using firearms\, pre-charged pneumatic air guns and archery equipment (including crossbows). Harvest may be no more than 8 mountain lions. \nZone 1 late-season – Opens: November 25 – Closes: March 31.  Mountain lions may be harvested using firearms\, pre-charged pneumatic air guns\, archery equipment (includes crossbows)\, and pursuing with dogs. Harvest may be no more than 7 mountain lions or 3 female mountain lions\, whichever comes first. \nZone 1 conditional season – If the harvest limit for the early-season is not reached on or prior to November 24\, and after the late-season has been closed (due to harvest limit being reached) for 5 consecutive days\, the early-season will reopen until the Zone 1 early-season harvest limit is reached or until March 31. If the late-season closes after March 25\, there will not be a Zone 1 conditional season. \nZone 2 – Opens: August 30 – Closes: March 31 Mountain lions may be harvested using firearms\, pre-charged pneumatic air guns and archery equipment (including crossbows). Beginning November 25\, mountain lions may also be harvested by pursuing with dogs. There is no overall harvest limit for Zone 2. \nThey are not going to propose changes to the season. You send your comments to Stephanie Tucker – <satucker@nd.gov> \nTheir most recent report on mountain lions can be found here https://gf.nd.gov/sites/default/files/publications/status-of-mountain-lion-management-in-nd-2023.pdf. \nCurrent regulations for cougars-  To view map:  https://gf.nd.gov/hunting/mountain-lion \nTo read cougar regulations: https://gf.nd.gov/regulations/small-combined#spp-mountain-lion \nTo read beaver regulations: https://gf.nd.gov/regulations/small-combined#spp-beaver
