The Queens County Bird Club will hold its next meeting via Zoom on Wednesday,
November 18, 2020 at 7:30 pm.
The presentation topic will be “A Tale of Many Penguins” by Ardith Bondi.
Penguins are definitely not one size fits all. Although they mostly live
in the Southern Hemisphere and none of them can fly, they exist in varied
habitats on diverse continents and have distinct lifestyles and physiology to
match. Penguins are intrepid, having adapted to living in some of the harshest
environments on earth. However, not all of them live around snow and ice.
Ardith Bondi’s presentation will show and discuss the different types of
penguins, how they live, and her experiences observing them in the wild.
Ardith Bondi lives in Manhattan. She earned a Ph.D. in pharmacology from
Columbia University and continued medical research at New York University
Medical Center and at The Rockefeller University before leaving research to
perform as a flutist. After years of performing and teaching, she still plays
in the Centre Symphony in Manhattan and photographs birds near home and in many
other interesting places far removed.

Zoom Step-by Step instructions.
Please do steps 1-6 now and let me know if you have any problems. It is very
difficult to help people on the date of the meeting.
1. Apply for a free Zoom account if you do not have one already using website
www.zoom.us <http://www.zoom.us/> and the “sign up” option. (Zoom will send
an email to confirm your address - the usual application process.)
2. Use this registration link to register for the meeting:
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYtce6qrjopH9JXuCTGAEH_I7NNBut1w3i3
<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYtce6qrjopH9JXuCTGAEH_I7NNBut1w3i3>
You will have to fill in the email address that you used for your Zoom account
and answer whatever questions it asks.
3. After you have registered, Zoom will show you a confirmation page that says
“Meeting Registration Approved” at the top and also send you an email with the
same details.
4. There is a link “Add to Calendar”. If you have an online calendar, this is
recommended, so you can start the meeting from your calendar.
5. There is a link “Please click this URL to join” followed by a long link.
This is to be used on the date of the meeting. You should not need any extra
information, just this link.
6. It is recommended that you test out this “join the meeting" link right
away. Click on it, launch the meeting, and Zoom should reply that the meeting
date is 11/18/2020.
7. If you receive a reply that “this meeting is for authorized participants
only” , it means that you are not “logged in” to Zoom on that device. Go to
www.zoom.us <http://www.zoom.us/> , then sign in. Close the Zoom meeting
window and click on the “join the meeting” link again.
8. On the date of the meeting, please “join the meeting” before 7:30 pm, up to
15 minutes early. You can test out your volume settings and make sure all is
Okay.
9. If you misplace the “Join the meeting” link, you can always register again
and Zoom will send you the same link.
This all sounds complicated. But once you have set it up on the device and
never “log out” of Zoom, it will keep working smoothly and you won’t have to
worry about logging in.
