SUMMARY:Iconic Tower\, Iconic Bird: Peregrines on the Campanile
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Allen Fish\nHost: Doug Waterman\nStart Date: Thursday\, February 13\, 2020\nStart Time: 7:30 PM\nEnd Time: 9:30 PM\nDescription: As Peregrine Falcons have recovered from endangered status in the 1990s-2000s\, they have often been found nesting on bridges and skyscrapers. For the last two nesting seasons\, a Peregrine Falcon pair has taken up residence on the Campanile on the UC Berkeley campus\, fledging two chicks in 2017\, and three in 2018. A team of citizen scientists led by UC Berkeley’s Museum of Vertebrate Zoology (MVZ) in cooperation with the East Bay Regional Park District and the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory\, has monitored the Peregrines\, enhancing their nest-site\, watching for threats\, and serving as an information source for captivated CAL falcon-spotters. In 2019\, the Cal Peregrine Team is working on getting a web-cam erected on the tower to deepen our knowledge of these urban Peregrines\, and to widen interest in these charismatic falcons via the web. \nBeyond their sheer magnetism – the athletic hunting flights of the adults and the clumsy antics of the fledglings – the Peregrines are a profound reminder of the ornithologists of a generation ago who walked a tight-rope between science and conservation activism to bring this species back from the edge of extinction. One of their critical conservation tools? The well-kept and meticulously-labelled egg collections of natural history museums\, including our own Museum of Vertebrate Zoology. \nDirector of the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory (ggro.org) since its founding in the mid-1980s\, Allen Fish earned his bachelor’s degree at UC Davis\, then returned to teach Raptor Biology there in the 2000s. He was honored with the Maurice Broun Award for achievements in raptor biology in 2003\, and the Bay Nature Environmental Educator Award in 2015. A fourth-generation Berkeleyan with deep CAL roots\, Fish lives near campus with his wife Allison Pennell\, their two kids and a coonhound. \nPhoto by Doug Bell

SUMMARY:Birding the Northwest Passage - Trip Rescheduled for February 13\, 2020
DESCRIPTION:Location: Tomales\, Lawson’s Landing\, and Chileno Valley\nTrip Leader(s): David Wimpfheimer\nStart Date: Thursday\, February 13\, 2020\nStart Time: 9:00 AM\nEnd Time: 3:30 PM\nDescription: This annual winter trip repeats David’s popular guided explorations of the less familiar habitats in Marin near the town of Tomales. We will meet at the Tomales Bakery\, and our itinerary for the day will cover coastal and interior habitats. Our first destination will be Lawson’s Landing\, a private resort near the mouth of Tomales Bay. Loons\, grebes (including Red-necked Grebe)\, ducks\, and Brant can be quite numerous here. Shorebirds are diverse here as well. After birding the coast\, the rest of the day may be spent covering the open grasslands\, wetlands\, and forests of this part of Marin. Raptor sightings may include Ferruginous and Rough-legged Hawk\, Golden Eagle\, and Merlin\, and\, if we are lucky\, we may spot the now uncommon-in-Marin Loggerhead Shrike. Meet at the Tomales Bakery at 9:00 AM. Plan on arriving early to sample the delicious pastries. If the bakery is closed\, the deli nearby has a nice variety of food and beverages. Check your map for your best route to Tomales. You can head west from Highway 101 at Old Redwood Highway in Petaluma or from Novato at San Marin Drive. The address of the bakery is 27000 Highway 1\, Tomales. Allow about an hour from Marin. Light rain will not cancel this trip\, but a heavy storm will.
