SUMMARY:Monthly Program: Albatrosses
DESCRIPTION:Birding Information: Live Birds with Native Bird Connections \nJoin Jenny Papka to meet a mystery pair of Native Bird Connections’ new birds. You do not want to miss this! \nMain Program: Home to the world’s largest albatross nesting colony\, Midway Atoll also hosts a team of volunteer “bird counters” each winter who determine just how many birds are nesting. This past winter\, JD Bergeron joined the census team. \nBergeron\, the executive director of International Bird Rescue\, will sharehis experiences on the remote site\, more than 1\,300 miles northwest of\nHonolulu. He will explain how he spent his holidays helping to methodically cover the island\, which is also known for its population of endangered Hawaiian monk seals\, Laysan ducks and Wisdom\, the oldest known wild bird in the Bird Banding Lab’s database. Scientists and volunteers have been conducting the annual albatross census on Midway since 1991\, providing an unusually thorough record of this distinctive seabird colony. \nDoors open at 6:30 pm\, Birding Info program takes place at 7 pm\, and the main program at 8 pm. The program will take place in the Camellia Room at The Gardens at Heather Farm\, 1540 Marchbanks Drive\, Walnut Creek.

SUMMARY:2019 Fall Avian Treasure Hunt by Juan-Carlos Solis
