English to Spanish: President’s Message from Valerie Lyle
Source text - English I'm excited to become board president at a time when SMRA is finding new ways to expand its environmental and conservation mission while providing opportunities for people to learn about and experience nature in our communities. My own love of the outdoors began early: studying the bird guides my mother kept near the windows that looked out on our feeders, hiking in the woods during
long summer family camping trips, and having free and unsupervised run of the woods and fields that surrounded the small rural town in Ohio where I grew up. Transplanted to NYC as an adult, I found ways to continue my outdoor activities, despite working in an office and living in a city apartment. Prospect Park became my backyard. It was the place I first saw a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and where a freshlykilled squirrel slid off the branch and landed beside me when I startled a Red-tailed
Hawk. I spent most weekends in the Catskills for many years, feeding birds and other wildlife near my house, hiking, and crosscountry skiing. After my mother retired, I began to accompany her on birding expeditions and field trips in Ohio and elsewhere. It was in Ohio that I was first introduced to the joys of spring warbler watching. In 2001, I moved to Croton and discovered Saw Mill River Audubon through the second Saturday Brinton Brook Sanctuary hikes. In 2008, shortly after my mother passed away, I was invited to become an SMRA board member. The timing was perfect, as I had just lost my main birding partner. I began going on SMRA field trips, finding a whole new group of passionate and expert birders to learn from. While SMRA continues to be a vibrant birding group, during Robert McCrillis's 12 years as president, we have increased our engagement with local and regional environmental and habitat issues. The wide-ranging interests
and expertise of our board are reflected in our programs and initiatives: bird walks and field trips both local and far afield; sanctuary work days to remove invasive vines and plant native tree species; partnership with the Hudson to Housatonic Conservation Initiative to engage local landowners with information and resources to protect streams and improve habitat; work with Lower Hudson Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management on early identification and control of invasive species; collaboration with Westchester County Parks to promote and maintain grassland habitat in Croton Point Park; and our own Pruyn Sanctuary Butterfly and Hummingbird Garden, offering visitors an example of how gardens can support birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. I look forward to working with our dedicated board members and volunteers, and with our fantastic and knowledgeable Executive Director, Anne Swaim, in the coming years.
Translation - Spanish Mensaje de la presidenta: Valerie Lyle.
Estoy emocionada en convertirme en presidente de la junta en el tiempo en que SMRA está encontrando nuevas maneras de extender su misión ambiental y preservadora mientras provee oportunidades a la gente para aprender y experimentar la naturaleza en nuestras comunidades.
Mi amor por la naturaleza empieza desde temprano: estudiando la guía de aves que mi madre mantenía cerca de las ventanas que miraban hacia nuestro comedor, caminando en el bosque durante los paseos familiares para acampar en los largos veranos y sentirme libre y sin supervisión corriendo por los bosques y campos que rodeaban el pequeño pueblo rural en Ohio donde yo crecí.
Reubicada en NYC como adulto, encontré formas de continuar mis actividades con la naturaleza a pesar de trabajar en una oficina y vivir en un apartamento en la ciudad. Prospect Park llego a convertirse en mi patio trasero. Este fue el lugar en el que vi por primera vez a un Ruby-crowned Kinglet, y donde una ardilla se salió de la rama y aterrizo a mi lado cuando me sorprendió una Red-tailed Hawk. Yo pase la mayoría de los fines de semana en el Catskills por muchos años, alimentando aves y otra vida salvaje cerca a mi casa, caminando a través del campo.
Después que mi madre se jubiló, yo empecé a acompañarla en las expediciones de aves y en los viajes de campo en Ohio y otros lugares. Fue en Ohio que tuve la primera introducción a la alegría de observar la spring warbler.
En el 2001, me mude a Croton y descubrí Saw Mill River Audubon a través de la excursión del segundo sábado de Brinton Brook Sactuary. En el 2008, poco después de que mi madre murió, fui invitada a convertirme en miembro de la junta de SMRA. El tiempo fue perfecto porque yo había acabado de perder mi principal socia de observación de aves. Empecé a ir a los paseos de campo de SMRA, encontrando un completo y nuevo grupo de apasionados y expertos observadores de aves para aprender de ellos.
Mientras SMRA continua siendo un vibrante grupo de observación de aves, durante los 12 años de presidente de Robert McCrillis, hemos incrementado nuestro compromiso con el medio ambiente local y regional y aspectos de habitad.
El amplio rango de intereses y experiencia de nuestra junta está reflejada en nuestros programas e iniciativas: paseos de aves y excursiones locales y lejanos, santuario trabaja diariamente para remover especies invasivas y plantar especies nativas de árboles; en sociedad con la iniciativa de Hudson To Housatonic Conservation para proveer a los propietarios de tierras con información y recursos para proteger los arroyos y mejorar el habitad; trabajar con Lower Hudson Partnership para el manejo de Especies invasivas regionales en temprana identificación y control de especies invasivas; la colaboración con Westchester County Parks para promover y mantener el habitad de la pradera en Croton Point Park y nuestra mariposa Pruyn Sanctuary y Hummingbird Garden, ofreciendo a visitantes un ejemplo de cómo los jardines pueden mantener aves, mariposas y otra clase de vidas salvajes.
Espero ansiosa seguir trabajando con nuestra dedicada junta de miembros y voluntarios y con nuestra fantástica y experta Directora Ejecutiva, en los próximos años
