SUMMARY:Shorebird Identification with Bob Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Shorebirds flock to the Bay Area in the fall. Many are coming from their breeding sites in the Arctic\, others from the prairies. They take advantage of the rich food resources in the Bay to recover from their migration\, to molt their feathers\, and to prepare for their trip back to their nesting grounds. A few shorebirds breed here and so are here throughout the year. Shorebirds include sandpipers\, oystercatchers\, stilts\, avocets\, and plovers. We will study their behaviors and identifying characteristics to enable us to identify them as they gather along our shorelines. \nBob trained as a chemist and worked in the energy industry for 33 years. He’s taught birding classes in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 25 years and is the past chair of Golden Gate Audubon’s Adult Education Committee. His life bird list is over 5000 species\, and he loves to travel. He’s an award-winning photographer\, focusing on birds. Bob was honored with American Birding Association’s Chandler Robbins Award for Education and Conservation in 2016 and GGAS’ Paul Covel Award for Education in 2017. \nRegister with your email to attend live and the Zoom information will be sent to you on the day of the event. The event will be closed captioned.

SUMMARY:Feathered Hunters – Identifying Raptors with Bob Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Raptors include hawks\, falcons\, eagles\, vultures\, and owls. They are efficient hunters\, catching a variety of prey from small mammals and birds to snakes and large insects\, using razor-sharp talons. Although identification may seem a bit difficult at first\, with a little experience it is possible to identify many raptors in flight as well as when they are perched. We’ll look at raptor taxonomy to understand differences between the various families and learn identifying characteristics of Bay Area species. The talk will be illustrated with many interesting images of these birds. \nBob trained as a chemist and worked in the energy industry for 33 years.

SUMMARY:The Changing Seasons—Birds of the East Bay Hills with Bob Lewis
DESCRIPTION:The Bay Area is rich in varying habitats that are home to many bird species. As the seasons change\, some birds arrive\, others depart\, and some just stay here at home. We’ll talk about many bird species that can be found in our gardens\, with some discussion of things one can do to enrich these bird habitats. The talk includes many illustrations of our local birds. \nBob trained as a chemist and worked in the energy industry for 33 years.
