SUMMARY:Monthly Program: May 2021
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Ivan Phillipsen \n \nPicture from one of the YES Nature Day Outings at a local Regional Park. Photo credit to YES N2N \nBirding Info: In partnership with nature\, YES Nature to Neighborhoods nurtures leaders who champion the wellbeing of our community. Eric Aaholm\, Executive Director\, and Luis Pacheco\, YLP Program Manager for YES will discuss its role in developing strong youth and adult leaders starting as young as age eight via engagement in both nearby nature and backcountry settings. \n\nRufous-capped Warbler\, photo by Ivan Phillipsen \nMain Program:  Birdlife of Oaxaca with Ivan Phillipsen \n\n\n\n\nThe Mexican state of Oaxaca (pronounced “wuh-HOCK-uh“) is incredibly rich with biodiversity. From high-elevation interior valleys\, to mountains\, rainforests\, and tropical coastlines\, Oaxaca has a wide variety of natural habitats. This region is a great destination for birding and for enjoying cultural wonders. There are ancient pyramids and temples to explore just outside Oaxaca City. The ethnic cuisine of the city is world-famous. Other cultural delights include elaborate wood carvings\, pottery\, and a vibrant mescal industry. \nBirdlife includes neotropical migrants and charismatic resident species. Oaxaca has a few wonderful endemic species and near-endemics\, including the Oaxaca Sparrow\, Dwarf Jay\, and Blue-capped Hummingbird. In this presentation\, Ivan Phillipsen will describe the ecoregions and habitats of Oaxaca and present some birding and wildlife highlights of the state. He’ll also touch on some of the cultural aspects that travelers can enjoy there. \n\n\n\nIvan Phillipsen is a professional naturalist guide with a background in scientific research. He’s the co-owner of a small birding/nature tour company\, Wild Latitudes. He is also the creator and host of a podcast called The Science of Birds. \nIvan has loved animals and nature his whole life. His first obsession was with amphibians and reptiles. This interest led him to graduate school\, where he studied amphibians. After earning a Masters degree in Biology and a PhD in Zoology\, he did postdoctoral research on aquatic insects. \nAlong the way\, his love of nature expanded to include plants\, fungi\, and all animals\, including birds. Birds have become Ivan’s greatest passion. He’s an avid birder and loves sharing in the joy of birds with his tour participants. Some places where Ivan leads natural history tours are Mexico\, Iceland\, Alaska\, Uganda\, and Fiji.

SUMMARY:Monthly Program: April 2021
DESCRIPTION:Adélie penguin photo by Annie Schmidt \nBirding Info: Beginning with a brief introduction to the Female Bird Day effort (established 2019)\, Joanna Wu\, GIS Analyst and Biologist with the National Audubon Society\, will explain the consequences of overlooking female birds\, both in birding and the sciences. Then she will cover some tips for female identification based on appearance\, vocalizations\, behavior\, and more. \nAnnie Schmidt in Antarctica \nMain Program: Coldest\, Driest\, Windiest: studying Adélie penguins on the harshest continent with Annie Schmidt \n\nAnnie Schmidt\, Antarctica Program Director for Point Blue Conservation Science\, will provide an Introduction to the Adélie penguin\, the Ross Sea and its global importance\, and discuss how they study Adélie penguins\, highlighting recent work and conservation applications.\n\n\nAnnie currently manages the Adélie Penguin Ecology research at Point Blue. Their research covers a range of questions including why are some colonies growing faster than others\, where and what do penguins do in the winter\, how does penguin nesting habitat influences breeding success\, and how will climate change influence their populations. Annie is lucky enough to spend a few months of the year at their field site on Ross Island\, Cape Crozier\, one of the largest Adélie penguin colonies in the world. \n\n\n\n\nAnnie started at Point Blue in 2004 as an intern investigating Leach’s Storm-Petrel demography on the Oregon Coast. The first time she held one of these tiny\, incredibly tough\, birds\, she was hooked and subsequently went on to study seabirds on the Farallon Islands. There is nothing like the bustling activity of a seabird metropolis to stimulate curiosity\, wonder\, and a desire to contribute towards a sustainable future. In 2013\, she completed a PhD in Ecology at UC Davis where she studied the changing influence of ocean conditions on seabird populations on the Farallones. Annie recently returned from her eighth season conducting research in Antarctica.

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.

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:Monthly Program: November 2020
DESCRIPTION:Birding Info: Join Paul Detjens of Contra Costa County Flood Control District and Krista Vossekuil of John Muir Land Trust to learn about the Lower Walnut Creek / Pacheco Marsh Restoration and Public Access Project. The Project will restore and enhance more than 232 acres of salt marsh habitat and become a favorite destination for birdwatchers throughout the region. More here: https://jmlt.org/our-places/pacheco-marsh  \nMain Program: Wildlife and Wildfire: Animal Adaptations for a Dynamic Ecosystem with Lynn Schofield  \nWildfires are an important part of many ecosystems around the world. Fires provide an opportunity for new growth\, to return nutrients to the soil\, and to create a wholly unique type of habitat. Many species are adapted for these ever-changing systems\, and they have developed a wide variety of strategies for making the best of the post-fire habitat. However\, these systems exist in a delicate balance. Recently\, forest fires have been increasing in size\, intensity\, and frequency due to human activities\, and even fire-adapted species are struggling to keep up. In this talk we discuss how animals survive and thrive in a system defined by fire and what we can do to help protect the balance of these special ecosystems. \nLynn Schofield is a biologist for the Institute for Bird Populations. Her research covers a diversity of topics including bird migration\, forest fire ecology\, and wetland conservation. In addition to using her research to help inform effective conservation strategies\, Lynn also works to help make connections with nature accessible to all. She is one of the core members of the Cal Falcons social media project\, a frequent trip leader for the Bay Area chapter of the Feminist Bird Club and a long-time volunteer for the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory.
