The property consisted of ancient tidal marsh (habitat for the endangered California Ridgeway’s Rail)\, intertidal baylands (habitat for migratory waterfowl and shorebirds)\, and uplands\, most  of which was created by the placement of fill when Paradise Drive was constructed. \nRain cancels our work days. \nFor questions please reach out to the Volunteer Coordinator volunteercoordinator@marinaudubon.org or the Property Coordinator Bob Hinz at  rbrthnz@comcast.net.

SUMMARY:Acorn Woodpeckers: Cooperation\, Conflict\, and Family Drama
DESCRIPTION:Acorn Woodpeckers: Cooperation\, Conflict\, and Family Drama\nThursday\, November 12\,\n7:00 PM to 9:00 PM\nSpeaker: Walt Koenig\, Research Zoologist Emeritus\, UC Berkeley\, and Graduate School Professor\, Cornell Lab of Ornithology\nEvent is free. Registration link coming soon for this speaker series.\n \nTopic:\nAcorn Woodpeckers\, best known for their unique habit of storing acorns by the thousands in special structures known as “granaries”\, are cooperative breeders that exhibit one of the most complex social systems of any bird. Based\non a long-term study of this species at Hastings Natural History Reservation in Monterey County\,\nWalt will explain some of the strikingly cooperative and diabolically competitive behaviors of this species that he and his\ncolleagues have discovered during their 50+ year field study. \nSpeaker Bio:\nWalt studied Acorn Woodpeckers as a Ph.D. student and Research Zoologist at UC Berkeley from 1974 to 2008. He was subsequently a Senior Scientist at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca\, New York\, from 2008 to 2016. He retired in 2016 and returned to upper Carmel Valley\, where he studies acorn production by California oaks\, continues to try and figure out Acorn Woodpecker behavior\, and perfects his sparkling wine palate. \nPhoto Credit: Acorn Woodpecker on Granary Tree\, by Becky Matsumara

SUMMARY:Corte Madera Marsh Ecological Reserve (CMMERE) Volunteer Work Day
DESCRIPTION:Date: Every second Saturday of the month from 10:00 – 1:00 \nDirections: Take the Redwood Highway Frontage Road north past the World Market Shopping Plaza. Turn right onto Industrial Way and access the site through the gate which is open on work days. Google Map \nPlease fill out the Volunteer Sign Up Form HERE \nIf you are under the age of 18 please fill\, sign\, and bring to the event the Minor Waiver HERE \nJoin Marin Audubon Society Property Coordinators for seasonal tasks to maintain and improve habitat for birds and other wildlife at the Corte Madera Marsh Ecological Reserve. The importance of this 5 acre portion of the marsh stems from its location\, bounded on three sides by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Corte Madera Ecological Reserve. On the south boundary is the Heerdt Marsh\, a tidal marsh that has never been diked\, on the east filled land of the Reserve and on the north the Reserve’s parking lot. CMMERE’s historic tidal marsh is habitat for a large population of the endangered Ridgway’s rails in addition to shorebirds and waterfowl.  \nRain cancels our work days. \nFor questions please reach out to the Volunteer Coordinator volunteercoordinator@marinaudubon.or or the Property Coordinator Martha Jarocki at  marthajarocki@gmail.com.
