SUMMARY:A Bird's Rainbow with Bob Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Description: Many birds are brightly colored\, others use patterned feathers for camouflage. How do these colors originate? What’s the difference between colors from pigments and physical colors? From Yellow warblers to Anna’s Hummingbirds\, from Snow Geese to Brewer’s Blackbirds\, each species makes unique use of the feather colors it possesses. What do the colors indicate to other birds? And do birds see the same colors we do? Bob will unravel some of the mysteries of color in birds with a little chemistry\, a bit of physics\, and a lot of brightly colored slides. \nBob Lewis trained as a chemist and worked in the energy field for 33 years. He’s taught birding classes in the Bay Area for over 25 years\, and served as the chair of Golden Gate Audubon’s Adult Education Committee. He’s co-aught a popular Master Birding class at the SF Academy of Sciences with Jack Dumbacher and Eddie Bartley\, and Birds of the Bay Area with Rusty Scalf. He taught Avian Evolution with Bruce Mast for Marin Audubon. He loves to travel and photograph birds\, and has recently returned from a trip to Namibia\, chasing the brightly colored birds of that area\, and passing 5\,000 on his life list. \nImage: The pigment that creates the yellow color in King Penguins is still undefined.

SUMMARY:Deer Island Preserve & Simmons Slough
DESCRIPTION:Location: Novato\, CA\nTrip Leader(s): Sande & Bob Chilvers\nStart Date: Thursday\, February 6\, 2020\nStart Time: 8:30 AM\nEnd Time: 12:00 PM\nDescription: Join our “First Thursday walk” walk of the new year in the oak woodland at Deer Island Preserve with views of the surrounding marshland visible from parts of the trail. Red-shouldered Hawks and White-tailed Kites nest here with additional resident and winter raptor sightings possible during our visit. The woodlands are home to woodpeckers\, owls\, juncos\, and towhees\, and we’ll also watch for egrets and White Pelicans. \nAs usual\, birding enthusiasts of all levels are invited to join our group. We always help each other find and identify the birds. We will be walking approximately 1.5 miles on a dirt trail with some gradual up and down slopes. Dress in layers and bring binoculars\, scopes\, and water. There are no restrooms at this location. Heavy rain cancels. \nIf Marin has received any rain by the date of this field trip\, we may stop by Simmons Slough\, a diked off tributary of Novato Creek and one of Marin Audubon’s properties\, to look for wintering waterfowl. This property is part of what Marin Audubon envisions as a Simmons Slough Wildlife Corridor consisting of wetlands and adjacent uplands associated with the watershed. The area is popular with ducks when the seasonal marsh becomes flooded. \nDirections: From Highway 101 in Novato\, take the exit for Atherton Avenue east 1.7 miles. Turn right onto Olive Ave and left onto Deer Island Lane. The gate is on your right with a nearby dirt parking lot.

SUMMARY:San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge
DESCRIPTION:Ruthie Rudesill of Redwood Regional Ornithological Society fame will lead this trip as a follow up to her presentation at our Speaker Series on January 9 entitled “Little Known Great Birding Locations in Northern California.” The San Joaquin River NWR is situated where three major rivers (Tuolumne\, Stanislaus\, and San Joaquin) join in the San Joaquin Valley\, creating a mix of habitats that provide ideal conditions for high wildlife and plant diversity.\nThe refuge was initially established primarily to protect and manage habitat for the Aleutian Cackling Goose but now provides important nesting habitat for Swainson’s Hawks\, herons\, cormorants\, as well as the endangered least Bell’s Vireo\, which was absent from the area for five decades. The refuge is also home to the largest wild population of Riparian Brush Rabbits in the world that approached extinction in the 1990’s. \nBring optics (scopes would be useful)\, lunch\, and dress in layers. There is a restroom at the refuge headquarters. No fees are collected here. Heavy rain cancels. \nThis field trip is co-sponsored by RROS and Marin Audubon. Sonoma County folks who wish to carpool can meet at the Petaluma Park N’ Ride at the junction of Highways 101 and 116 at 7:15 AM. These Sonoma participants will meet up with Marinites who wish to join a carpool at the Smith Ranch Road and Highway 101 Park N’ Ride at 7:35 AM. For more information about this trip\, contact Ruthie at (707) 833-6026 or (707) 481-0768. \nDirections: From Highway 580 southbound after Altamont Pass\, take the Maze Blvd Exit onto Highway 132 (east towards Modesto). The NWR is at the San Joaquin River. Turn left on North Gates Road from Highway 132. Travel northbound on Gates Road for approximately 3 miles. Turn left on Beckwith Road. Travel westbound on Beckwith Road for 2 miles to the refuge parking lot on the left side of the road. Our first stop will be at the Migratory Bird Viewing Platform on Beckwith Road. Later we will return to Highway 132 and travel to the refuge headquarters at 2714 Dairy Road\, Vernalis.
