SUMMARY:Monthly Program: January 2021
DESCRIPTION:Karla Banding Owlet\, photo by Chris Sargent \nBirding Info: Mt. Diablo Audubon Society President Jerry Britten will report highlights of the 2020 Christmas Bird Counts. \nPhoto by Brian Plath \nMain Program: Real Life Great Horned Owl Soap Opera with Karla Bloem \nA real-life soap opera has played itself out over the past 15 years between over 25 captive and wild Great Horned Owls that have formed the basis of an in-depth vocal study on the species. You’ll experience owl dating\, divorce\, territorial defense\, and more as you learn about their wide variety of vocalizations and what they mean. Ruby the Great Horned Owl will make a live appearance in this one-of-a-kind entertaining and educational program. \nKarla Bloem is the founder and Executive Director of the International Owl Center. She acquired Alice the Great Horned Owl to use in educational programs in 1998 and began studying Great Horned Owl vocalizations in 2004. Karla is now the world authority on their vocalizations and has given presentations in The Netherlands\, Germany\, Argentina\, Italy\, Portugal and South Africa. Alice’s popularity led Karla to create the International Festival of Owls\, the first full-weekend\, all-owl event in North America that has served as the inspiration for similar festivals in Italy\, Nepal and India. Karla and Alice testified before the Minnesota House and Senate environment committees to successfully gain protection for Great Horned Owls in 2005. She has assisted several authors and filmmakers and has appeared on Animal Planet and the CBC’s “The Secret Life of Owls.”

SUMMARY:Real Life Great Horned Owl Soap Opera: Learning their language
DESCRIPTION:Karla Bloem\n2021 World Owl Hall of Fame Special Achievement Award winner\nExecutive Director\, International Owl Center\nMinnesota\, USA \nA 3-week old Great Horned Owl fell out of her nest in 1997 and injured her wing too severely to ever be able to fly. Alice was placed with Karla Bloem in Houston\, Minnesota to be used as an ambassador to teach people about owls. Because she imprinted on humans\, she eventually claimed Karla as her mate. Alice was upset that Karla didn’t know how to behave like a proper male Great Horned Owl\, so in self-defense Karla began studying Great Horned Owl vocalizations in 2004. This long-term study expanded to include the vocal and behavioral interactions of more than two dozen captive and wild owls over the past 16 years. This is their story\, as it unfolded\, and it is juicier than most television soap operas while offering detailed insights into their vocalizations and behaviors. \nGreat Horned Owls vocalizations are innate and not learned\, and the captive owls studied vocalized in the same ways the wild owls did. This intimate\, long-term study has engaged many dedicated volunteer observers and has allowed a better understanding of their complete vocal repertoire and associated behaviors\, individuality of territorial hoots\, vocal development of young owls\, regional variation in territorial hoots\, and has given small insights into the heritability of territorial hoot characteristics.  \n(Because Alice is retired and highly territorial and jealous at home\, she will appear only via video.)\n​\nKarla Bloem is the founder and Executive Director of the International Owl Center. Alice’s popularity led Karla to create the International Festival of Owls\, the first full-weekend\, all-owl event in North America that has served as the inspiration for similar festivals in Italy\, Nepal and India. Karla and Alice testified before the Minnesota House and Senate environment committees to successfully gain protection for Great Horned Owls in 2005. She is part of a committee organizing the next World Owl Conference in October 2022 in La Crosse\, Wisconsin. \n​This presentation will also be livestreamed to the International Owl Center’s YouTube channel but will NOT be saved for later viewing after it concludes. Click HERE to register to watch it as a Zoom webinar and be able to ask questions.

SUMMARY:Do Acorn Woodpeckers make granaries or do granaries make Acorn Woodpeckers?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sahas Barve \nWe will plunge into the complicated social lives of acorn woodpeckers. How they build granaries and what they will do to win access to a big granary. Using cutting-edge radio tracking technology and over 45 years of demographic data\, we will learn how these common backyard birds cooperate with close relatives to raise offspring and eavesdrop on neighbors to gain social information. Finally we will look briefly at how fire may be affecting the socio-biology of this enigmatic bird of the Californian oak savannah. \nBio: Sahas Barve is from Mumbai\, India and is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. He is an avian ecologist\, interested in understanding why some birds are social and what is the evolutionary benefit of social behavior to these birds. He is an avid birder and wants to see 6\,000 species by the time he is 60.

SUMMARY:Raptors in Winter
DESCRIPTION:Feb 4\, 11\, 25\, 2021 \nInstructor: Maureen Lahiff \nVenue: Zoom \nRaptors in Winter\, 3 Zoom presentations\, Thursdays Feb 4\, 11\, and 25\, 7 to 9 pm\, with detailed suggestions for individual field observations. \nYear-round resident hawks\, falcons\, and eagles of the greater Bay Area and the Central Valley are joined by a number of wintering migrants (including Ferruginous and Rough-legged Hawks).  We will explore the rhythm of their lives and discuss identifying juveniles and adult birds\, including birds in flight. This class focuses on raptors that are diurnal (active during the day). \nOne of the nice things about raptors is that you don’t have to be on scene at daybreak to get good looks at these birds\, so you can travel a bit further afield.  It is rewarding to travel to eastern Alameda and Contra Costa\, and Napa\, Solano and Sonoma counties to look for diurnal raptors. \nMaximum 75 participants \n$75 GGAS members\, $110 non-members \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration opens: January 1\, 2021 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLimited to 75 participants

SUMMARY:Monthly Program: February 2021
DESCRIPTION:Verdin photo by Eddie Bartley \nBirding Info: Frank Ruiz\, Salton Sea Program Director for Audubon California\, will provide an update on some recent breakthroughs for conserving the Salton Sea. The Salton Sea is a perfect example of the water crisis in the west\, affecting thousands of birds and exacerbating the already existing health crisis in the region. Water diversion and the ongoing drought has prompted the Salton Sea to recede at a faster pace calling for an expedite implementation of the Salton Sea Management Plan. How is Audubon and its partners helping to alleviate this crisis? \nPhainopepla by Eddie Bartley \nMain Program: Birding California’s Big Sink with Eddie Bartley \nJoin Eddie Bartley for a fast-paced spin around one of California’s most important birding areas: the Salton Sink. \nThough much altered by humans in the past century\, the endorheic (drain-less) Salton Sink holds magnificent bird diversity and abundance\, especially in winter\, which will be the seasonal focus of this presentation. Eddie will share photography and natural history stories about the unique biodiversity\, regional specialty birds\, and favorite wildlifing spots that he and his partner\, Noreen Weeden\, have discovered in their 25+ years visiting this natural phenomenon-prone region. \nA conservation activist since his teens\, Eddie is a volunteer researcher and instructor with the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory\, California Academy of Sciences\, and Golden Gate Audubon Society\, and is currently the President of the Yerba Buena Chapter of the California Native Plant Society as well as the Farallon Islands Foundation. Eddie and Noreen lead natural history\, bird watching\, and photography tours for Nature Trip out of their home base in San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Raptors in Winter
DESCRIPTION:Feb 4\, 11\, 25\, 2021 \nInstructor: Maureen Lahiff \nVenue: Zoom \nRaptors in Winter\, 3 Zoom presentations\, Thursdays Feb 4\, 11\, and 25\, 7 to 9 pm\, with detailed suggestions for individual field observations. \nYear-round resident hawks\, falcons\, and eagles of the greater Bay Area and the Central Valley are joined by a number of wintering migrants (including Ferruginous and Rough-legged Hawks).  We will explore the rhythm of their lives and discuss identifying juveniles and adult birds\, including birds in flight. This class focuses on raptors that are diurnal (active during the day). \nOne of the nice things about raptors is that you don’t have to be on scene at daybreak to get good looks at these birds\, so you can travel a bit further afield.  It is rewarding to travel to eastern Alameda and Contra Costa\, and Napa\, Solano and Sonoma counties to look for diurnal raptors. \nMaximum 75 participants \n$75 GGAS members\, $110 non-members \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration opens: January 1\, 2021 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLimited to 75 participants

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.

DESCRIPTION:California Poppies photo by Stephen Smith \nBirding Info: We are trying something new this month! Instead of a birding info speaker\, we are going to spend 15 minutes socializing with other Mt. Diablo Audubon members in Zoom breakout rooms. Meet some new people\, or reconnect with old birding buddies! \nGlobe Lily\, photo by Stephen Smith \nMain Program: Wildflowers of Mount Diablo with Stephen Smith \nLocal wildflower enthusiast Steve Smith will present Wildflowers of Mount Diablo: Flower Lore.  Ever wonder why they are called Milk Maids or how Buttercups helped beggars garner more attention? What do lupine and poppies have to do with Cal Berkeley? This program presents a unique and quirky look at the origin of several of the common names of our wildflowers. Included are anecdotes about the historical lore behind the uses of these flowers whether it religious\, medicinal\, superstition or most often for love.\n\nSteve Smith is President of the Mount Diablo Interpretive Association\, a non-profit cooperative partner which aids Mount Diablo State Park. An avid hiker and amateur naturalist Steve most enjoys hitting the trails of the mountain in Spring in order to document the over 200 species that grow there. He helps to maintain a comprehensive bloom report each week during peak flower season and oversees the online wildflower guide on the organization’s wonderful website\, mdia.org.

SUMMARY:A Walk Through a Bay Area Birder’s Garden
DESCRIPTION:Join Barbara Coll as she walks through her garden live! As she walks around her yard\, she will point out the feeders\, plants\, and water elements that attract the 63 species she has recorded in 30+ years of living in Menlo Park on the San Francisquito Creek. She will also discuss feeder/birdbath maintenance\, the current Pine Siskin irruption and subsequent Salmonella outbreak\, seed types\, and which plants the birds love. Barbara will share many videos and photos of the birds that she sees from her home windows. She is also a fanatic eBird user and will introduce you to the Yard tracking feature. \nBarbara Coll is a regular volunteer with SFBBO. She took her birding to a new level a few years ago by starting to photograph the birds she sees. When she retired from the insanity of Silicon Valley and the digital marketing world\, she found birding a wonderful mix of nature\, challenge and statistics. Barb’s website with all her photography can be found at www.barbsbirds.me. \nThis event will be fun\, casual\, and family-friendly! Please register – the Zoom meeting link will be sent in the confirmation.

SUMMARY:The Breeding Behavior of our Local Owls—Getting to Know our Nocturnal Neighbors
DESCRIPTION:With Joe Mueller \nThe best time of year to get to know owls is during the breeding season. This is the time when they communicate with each other and allow us a glimpse into their lives.  Join Joe for a guided journey into understanding the reproductive behavior of our local owls.  We’ll explore topics from territoriality and pair formation to courtship and nesting.   \nAs a Professor of Biology for 30 years Joe has been teaching a rich diversity of courses ranging from ornithology to marine invertebrate zoology as well as leading field courses from Alaskan tundra to Costa Rican Tropical Rain Forests. His teaching style has developed from a view of life focused on systems thinking and how interrelationships make up the essential nature of life.  He developed and coordinates the Natural History Program at College of Marin and is the 2008 recipient of the Terwilliger Environmental Education Award.
