SUMMARY:Cranes & Geese at Staten Island - 1st YBC field trip of 2020
DESCRIPTION:The first MDAS Young Birders field trip of the New Year will be to the well known crane and waterfowl wintering site of Staten Island\, in the center of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta\, on Saturday January 25th. If we’re lucky we’ll be able to see hundreds\, and maybe even thousands of cranes\, geese and other birds. \nBecause it’s an hour away and can be tricky to get to\, and some of the road is narrow and unpaved\, we’ll carpool there. Meet at the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART station at 1700 W Leland Rd at 9AM (everyone from the Diablo area will have to pass by here). We’ll get into carpools and then head out. Depending on where the birds are we’ll stick to the island or look at other sites\, then head back. \nAs always\, every Young Birder need to be accompanied by a parent or other adult responsible for them. Heavy rain cancels\, but if it’s only drizzle or some showers the trip is still on. Bring layered clothing for cool temperatures and potential showers\, shoes you can get muddy\, along with binoculars\, camera\, snack\, water\, hat\, sunglasses\, etc. We have extra field guides and binoculars if you need them.

SUMMARY:iNaturalist\, a Tutorial for Citizen Scientists by Kendall Oei
DESCRIPTION:One 2-hour class and one 4-hour field trip\nClass: Tuesday\, November 12\, 7-9 pm\nField Trip: Sunday\, November 17\, 8 am-noon\nSave Mount Diablo office in Walnut Creek (maximum 15 participants)\nCost: $25 MDAS members and $30 non-members \nClass Description: Naturalist and nature videographer Kendall Oei will convert you into an active\, and interactive\, citizen scientist in 90 minutes. An early adaptor to the revolutionary digital app\, iNaturalist\, developed by Bay Area naturalists and now used globally\, Kendall will walk us through the iNaturalist website and the phone app\, showing us how we can each become a resource to science. iNaturalist is all these things: a place to record nature observations\, an in-depth nature guide—it is great for local sightings—and a source of deep enjoyment. Kendall’s presentation will also be a workshop\, so bring your phone or laptop if you want to participate\, along with some recent photos you have taken. He will show you how to post and annotate them. It is easy and it adds your observations to the joint record for all to access. Before the date\, create an iNaturalist account by going to www.inaturalist.org/\, and download the app in your phone’s app store. It is free. \nInstructor Bio: Kendall moved to the Bay Area in 1994 from Southern California\, where he grew up. He fell in love immediately with the open spaces here\, and took up photography so he could show his family and friends the things he saw on weekend hikes. Photography led him to his current passion for nature videography. As part of his quest to document the beauty and wonders in our area\, he needed a resource to help identify the flora and fauna in his videos. That is when he discovered iNaturalist.

SUMMARY:Young Birders Club - Mist Netting & Bird Banding at Palomarin Field Station
DESCRIPTION:We’re heading to the Palomarin Field Station (run by Point Blue Conservation Science\, link below)\, the longest-running avian ecology field station west of the Mississippi River! Even though it’s more than an hour from the Diablo area (so we need to leave earlier than usual)\, the payoff is huge. Staff and interns will give us a behind the scenes mist netting and bird banding tour\, so join us to get face-to-face with birds and learn from professional bird researchers! \nWe’ll meet at the Lafayette BART station at 7:40am to get into carpools (limit GHG emissions\, Palomarin is tricky to get to)\, then arrive at the station at 9:30am. If you live on the Richmond side of the hills it might make more sense to meet at Palomarin\, but everyone living in the Diablo area passes by Lafayette BART to get to Palomarin\, so let’s carpool. \nBring water (there is none on-site)\, sturdy shoes\, layered clothes\, hat\, sunscreen and snack. Heavy rain cancels. A bathroom is on-site. We have extra binoculars and field guides\, so as always the only thing young birders need to bring is a parent/responsible adult. \nMDAS will pay the recommended $5 donation per participant to Point Blue Conservation Science\, but attendees are encouraged to donate something of their own as well. Image is of a mist-netted and banded fox sparrow at Palomarin\, and provided by Point Blue Conservation Science. \nThanks and see you then! \n
