The Breeding Seabirds of Alcatraz Island and Climate Change
May 20, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
FreePresented by Lidia D’Amico and Zoe Burr
In this event, Lidia D’Amico (National Park Service Alcatraz Biologist) and Zoe Burr (Farallon Institute Seabird Biologist) will dive into the world of Alcatraz seabirds. They will tell you about several species that typically breed on the island every spring and summer, and the threats these birds are facing from climate change and living in an urban environment. Alcatraz Island sits in a unique position within the San Francisco Bay and as a result is one of only two estuarine breeding colonies for Brandt’s cormorants.
