SUMMARY:The Great Backyard Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:The Great Backyard Bird Count is coming! On February 12–15th\, birders all over the world will count birds for four days to provide an important snapshot of where birds are right before their migrations. We may not be able to bird together on MDAS field trips\, but we can still contribute to science meaningfully from home or on our personal birding trips. \nYou can learn the background and importance of this community science activity that can be done right from your backyard by reading “The Great Backyard Bird Count Is Coming!” by Alan Bade\, MDAS Community Science Coordinator. This article is from the February 2021 edition of The Quail.

SUMMARY:A Rainforest at our Feet: Local wetland restoration in the San Francisco Bay Area
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, acclaimed plant ecologist John Zentner will discuss how wetland health impacts the health of birds and wildlife. John will guide participants through understanding different types of local wetlands\, from marshes\, vernal pools\, riparian wetlands\, and more. He will then outline methods of wetland conservation and how these projects are crucial to maintaining holistic and healthy ecosystems that sustain all life. \nAbout The Speaker: \nJohn is a plant ecologist specializing in landscape restoration. He has an undergraduate degree from UCSB\, and graduate degrees/certifications from U of O and the University of Oslo. John has been the wetland specialist for the California Coastal Commission\, the program manager for the Coastal Conservancy’s enhancement program\, the chair of the SF Bay Habitat Joint Venture’s Implementation Committee\, and is currently the chair of the Arundo Removal and Restoration Team (ARRT) at the Walnut Creek Watershed Council. Over the past thirty years\, he has restored vernal pool complexes\, riparian systems\, perennial and seasonal marshes and native grasslands.

SUMMARY:Almaden Lake - Evolution of the Environment and How Birds Adapt
DESCRIPTION:Through SFBBO’s Colonial Waterbird Program\, our biologists and community science volunteers have monitored populations of colony nesting waterbirds during the breeding season at more than 70 sites throughout the Bay Area. Join us to hear Larry Manning\, who has been a colonial waterbird monitoring volunteer for nearly 20 years\, as he discusses the history of Almaden Lake in San Jose and the birds that nest there. \nLarry Manning was introduced to birding about 40 years ago by Lou Young\, who was his boss at NASA Ames Research Center and an SFBBO board member. Lou and his wife Jean and Larry and his wife Judie participated in a lot of the SFBBO Fall Birding Challenges. As Larry started thinking about retirement\, he decided that he wanted to be involved is environmental conservation activities and started doing easement monitoring and trail patrol for Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District\, invasive species eradication for Peninsula Open Space Trust\, and Snowy Plover monitoring for San Mateo County Parks at Kelly Beach in Half Moon Bay. He started with SFBBO about 20 years ago doing nesting surveys in the tidal marshes behind Moffett Field and Snowy Plover surveys in the San Mateo Bridge area.  About 18 years ago he moved his participation to monitoring the nesting site at Almaden Lake and then added monitoring at the Llagas Creek site in Morgan Hill and the Los Gatos Creek Park. He has also participated in the SFBBO Birds in your Neighborhood Program and given presentations to the national Well Connected Program. \nThis program is family-friendly. Please register – the Zoom meeting link will be sent in the confirmation. If you have trouble registering or have any questions\, please contact Sirena Lao\, Environmental Education and Outreach Specialist\, at slao@sfbbo.org.
