Raised on Long Island, New York during WWII learned about victory gardens, black-outs, scrap metal drives and scouting. Graduated from New York State Maritime College as a marine engineer in 1958. Went to work for Ingersoll Rand Company in Phillipsburg, NJ. Married to Dot in 1960. We bought a country home that had five acres. We call it “Try and Find Us”. We used a bridge to walk across a trout stream to get to the house. We had ten years of life’s experiences before moving.

I was promoted to chief engineer of the new commercial pump division in Allentown, PA. One of the most challenging projects was the design of pumps to pump coal slurry 1000 miles using water from the Colorado river. It would have almost drained the river. However, railroad eminent domain won the contract. Another project was developing a pump to produce a pressure of 10,000 pound per square inch. Used to dismantle old wooden box cars rather than polluting the air by burning.

00:38some links and put them in the description box if you're watching on youtube you might be seeing it
00:42up there so that way you can get his other books because he is a proficient author yes he is and
00:48i'm very very excited to have him back on the show thank you so much again for joining us
00:52well i'm glad i'm here yes definitely and you're here about your book it's called lifestyles of
00:59backyard birds and how they are affected by climate change yes tell me okay well as i said there are
01:08thousands of bird books yes so what is different with this one well it's the accumulation of 20 to
01:1830 years of observation of the birds in my backyard not many people can say they have done that this
01:27observation no so there's the there's the cover yes so okay what's what is different here now
01:37what what's happening to the climate change well with the climate change
01:42the canopy of leaves on the trees is occurring two weeks earlier over 20 years 20 years two weeks
01:56earlier so the leaves are coming out earlier all right so what happens they are producing a shadow
02:05on the ground so the perennials are coming out later however what's happening is that with the climate change
02:20the birds are coming later and sometimes the perennials which have the bugs the bugs are gone by the time
02:30they get here oh and so the birds can't produce and so consequently due to the climate change
02:41and what's happening to the evergreens and the maple trees and the grass and all the other perennials
02:47they're having less young birds that's that's one thing that's happening
02:53so the book is split up into two parts
02:55what's happening to the general populace of the accumulation of the data and the last part is the 79
03:04individual birds that i pick out okay now out of the 79 12 are gone
03:12they've gone north they don't drop by here anymore but let's get back to the overall what's happening to the birds
03:20yes so in the winter we're getting more populous like quite a bit and we're getting more species
03:32account of extra warmth in the summer we're getting less popular birds population goes down the species goes
03:40down mm-hmm so so in the book i show what's happening to the population by graphs colored graphs no less
03:55but i think that's easier for people to understand yeah and so it shows very vividly what's happening to
04:03the population and especially especially april that's migration and the number of birds i have is almost
04:11double sometimes triple the counter by migration right likewise in october the migration goes back the
04:18other way but not as but but not as much right because they take a different path
04:26and then we have there we have what's happening with the birds themselves at the fetus they're not very happy
04:33one species does not necessarily like another species and one of my observations is that
04:40cardinals which everyone says is a nice bird it's a nasty bird
04:45and when it gets to another bird it hisses like a cat i have i have observed that because i have video
04:52sound from my backyard into the kitchen so that's that's one thing they do
04:57i observe it i put in the book how they feed well just like humans they have breakfast about an hour
05:07after sunrise some come earlier but basically they have that first hour
05:13and then they disappear and they come back for lunch not all of them but they have a light lunch
05:19and then an hour before sunset they come back for dinner
05:26and so i did that in february and august and the birds don't care about daylight saving time they
05:33they don't know oh my gosh wow another thing i have i observed is that um a lot of the males
05:47feed the young not females yeah that's a different that's a different observation definitely yeah
05:54and today uh we had 99 degrees here and birds don't perspire they pant yeah they sit with their mouths
06:07gapping and their wings wide open try to cool down and of course today being 99 here there were a lot of birds
06:15doing that wow wow that that is crazy that is crazy so the whole climate is changing we're not having as
06:26many eggs being hatched is that what you're saying yes so what's half i mean what what is what is really
06:33happening i mean are we losing all the bird species are we eventually gonna i mean what's gonna happen
06:40well for one thing over the past 20 or 30 years i've had 12 new species and i also lost 12 species
06:50so it's a you know gain gain and loss was about the same right okay yeah wow yep and i also put down
07:00how they drink water because their beaks change size and shape and so they drink water in a different way
07:09and today they were taking a lot of baths so kind of was so hot yeah continuing yeah definitely oh my gosh
07:19so i'm looking at part of the book i love this little bird is this a bird that you took a picture of
07:25yesterday yesterday that's a hawk and i i just love that expression on his face oh i mean i know the
07:34hawks eat pigeons yeah they eat a lot of little birds around here too yeah yeah they do they do so
07:42okay so you have you have that book you you've you've observed in your own backyard all of these things
07:48how has your backyard changed i know you said you've lost 12 you gained 12 but how has it physically
07:54changed for you with the bird population that you have in the backyard okay that's a good question
08:01and i show that in the book also i show when i started out and with holly any trees or shrubs and
08:09then i show afterwards what happens 30 years later or 40 years later and how now that the trees have matured
08:18uh they have put extra shade in areas and of course they also allow for the undergrowth to grow quicker
08:27and that's another thing which happened this spring we were under a drought for months and months into
08:34january into february it was a drought and the birds didn't want to produce but then all of a sudden
08:39in may and june we turned up turned up the faucet and we couldn't shut it off
08:47and the birds love that and so now we have a lot of young chicks
08:52but the problem is i have to keep them fed
08:54oh you're feeding them of course i feed them every day oh wow oh wow so what are you feeding the birds
09:03well um i put out different seed for different birds one is called safflower and most of the little
09:11birds like that but fortunately the squirrels do not like that i put out the sunflower black sunflower
09:19that has a lot of energy and almost all the birds like that i put something that looks like a bb called
09:26millet and a lot of the small birds like that one i put out peanut butter peanut butter oh yeah
09:34and my bird my birds in particular they only like skipping smooth peanut butter
09:40oh they picky wow i also put out whole peanuts and they take the birds have a capability of taking
09:51two peanuts at a time oh wow yeah well what can people do like what can we do or is there anything
10:00that we can do to help like curb this maybe i don't know i mean what what do you see we can do
10:10well one thing i'm i like to preach is that if a person takes down a tree they should replace it
10:18because we have a lot of old trees and a lot of people cutting down trees in their yard but i don't
10:24see anyone replacing them and if they do replace them they should be replaced with native trees
10:30throughout the country that's one of the big problems people said oh i like that tree but it wasn't a
10:36native tree and so they die after a while you know yeah yeah wow wow what message do you have for the
10:44readers when they when they read your book to take away with this this whole environmental change
10:49the big big message is that the population is vastly changing the species are changing
11:01what's happening to the flora is changing
11:04so that's why i said what's happening to the birds due to environment yeah so the people should use
11:13native plants native trees
11:18and if they can feed the birds because a lot of birds don't have the food that they had before
11:23yeah yeah yeah definitely definitely wow wow is there anything that we didn't go over today that
11:30you would like to say about this because to me if we if we don't have birds then we don't have the
11:35babies and then we don't have pollination and then you know it's just like losing bees i mean
11:40we can't afford this we can't you can't afford this you named it yeah but the second half of the book
11:48is uh i point out 79 species i've observed in many years and where i have had data
11:58i put a maybe one page one line is for some birds some birds have three pages
12:04and i tell about what they do for instance uh the cardinal which is a pretty good sized bird comes
12:14in the summer all of a sudden i would see the cardinal go to the bird feeder take a piece of
12:22peanut a piece of peanut take it to the water and dunk it in the water and then go feed the young
12:29yeah just like just like you're taking a baby and maybe dunk the food the coffee or something like
12:36that yeah it's the same type of thing the other thing that the cardinal does i was watching and
12:43it was coming from a nest to the feeder but before it got to the feeder it dropped something that
12:49looked like a mothball what is that well it turns out that it was a feces they wrapped the feces
12:58up in white material that looks like a mothball i think to keep their nests clean oh wow all right
13:08then the other thing this crazy bird does this crackle is that i had put down mothballs to keep
13:15the squirrels away from the tulips the crackle goes and gets a mothball lifts up its wings and rubs it
13:23under its wing to get rid of insects okay smart yeah smart very spot yeah wow then we have the crazy
13:35blue jay but a blue jay it can be a thief it can be a policeman and it can be very shrewd
13:44you some are you familiar with the blue jay i have i mean i've seen a blue jay i've i'm not familiar
13:51like you are with the blue jay no i am not okay but you know what it looks like yes yes okay well
13:58this blue jay one thing it will do the little birds will come to the feeder in the morning and
14:05gobble up what they can and all of a sudden they hear a hawk and they fly away
14:12but it's not a hawk it's a blue jay imitating the call of a hawk yeah so it flies down and gets the
14:18rest that's the rest of the feed then i'll put peanuts up on a platform which is about five foot
14:27high and put some peanuts down the ground for the squirrels well the blue jay it's smart it goes down
14:35and eats the peanuts on the ground but squirrels then goes up and eats the peanuts on the platform oh
14:42my gosh wow then then if a crow or a hawk lands in the trees
14:51obviously the little birds don't like that at all
14:54and so the blue jade starts to yell and pretty soon another blue jade starts to yell
15:03and then robin start to yell
15:05and then crackle start to yell so pretty soon i have a whole symphony of birds yelling
15:15yelling at a hawk or an owl until they leave wow all the stars
15:22don't they move down and attack them like i see like hawks in my area come around and i'll see these
15:28little birds like kamikaze birds like hitting on them and yeah that's right wow they're brave yep so
15:36now i have a whole symphony of birds going after the big one yep so those are some of the things that
15:43i point out in the book so i don't have a lot of oh i know um i have data showing when when the
15:55winter birds will arrive within a week every year and they leave every year within the same week
16:04that's supposed to junko and a white-throated uh sparrow so these are the kind of things people
16:11are going to see in this book which they would not see in a lot of bird books right these kinds of
16:16observations in their population the number of species at a particular species how their population is
16:24changing who likes who who's who's pecking who's pecking i put down a pecking order who's pecking who
16:32yeah right on sometimes a little bird is more aggressive than a larger bird i know i've seen
16:39that i thought they were crazy i i thought that's crazy but that's what they do so the whole emphasis
16:45of this book is taking 20 years or 30 years of data and putting it in such a way that a reader can
16:52understand what's happening to the birds due to climate change definitely definitely wow wow
