Haley Michal Turner will present her research on apex predators in our region, with a special focus on her work with bobcats. Bobcats are a special presence in New York. They are the only species of wild felines with a breeding population which are still roaming our state. Given their proclivity for nocturnal behavior and apprehension of humans, seeing a bobcat in the wild is a fairly exclusive accomplishment in the northeastern United States. This makes them a difficult species to study, and a great candidate for monitoring through passively activated trail cameras (also called game cameras).

Private landowners across New York generously allowed the DEC and Cornell University to deploy trail cameras on their properties, and with the addition of some cameras on state land, over 325 camera sites were active in New York in 2023 and 2024, with the objective of monitoring the abundance of bobcats.

Haley Turner is a PhD student at Cornell University. She has a Master's in quantitative ecology from Cornell University and a Bachelor's of Science in Environmental Science from George Mason University. In her spare time she enjoys reading, hiking and hanging out with her cat. 

The 7:00 PM Bird Identification Workshop with Bill Ostrander is followed by a brief meeting and the program.

Chemung Valley Audubon's monthly meetings are held in the West End Event Space of the Appleridge Senior Living Center. Access to the meetings is through the main entrance of the facility. Appleridge is wheelchair accessible. All are welcome to join us and the program is free of charge for everyone.
