SUMMARY:Tricolored Blackbird Ecology and Conservation in California’s Central Valley and Sierra Foothills
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 9 at 7:00 PM\nSpeaker: Dan Airola \nRegister for the June Speaker Series Zoom program HERE \nThe Tricolored Blackbird has declined dramatically from its historical abundance to become a state-listed species\, as a result of massive land-use changes in California’s Central Valley. The species has adapted and now occupies a variety of novel habitats\, including agricultural fields and grazing lands in the Sierra Nevada foothills.  Dan Airola has studied Tricolored Blackbirds over the last decade in the valley and foothills to understand their population status\, habitat requirements\, future land use threats\, and conservation management. He offers a conservation assessment addressing both the challenges of land use change and encouraging efforts to conserve the species. \nRaised in Marin County\, wildlife biologist and ornithologist Daniel Airola conducts research and conservation efforts for birds of concern in northern California. He is a member of the statewide Tricolored Blackbird Working Group and leads its Research Committee. Other research species include the Purple Martin\, Yellow-billed Magpie\, Swainson’s Hawk\, and Osprey. His recent book on 30 years of Purple Martin research and management is available at cvbirds.org.

SUMMARY:Sky Trail & Limantour - Birding in Marin - Season 7\, Trip 8
DESCRIPTION:Sat\, 8/6/22 – 8:30 AM to mid afternoon\nWith Jim White and Bob Battagin\nMeet; at Sky Trailhead at 8:30 AM\, near the crest of Limantour Rd. Directions below.\nRegister for this field trip HERE \nLimit of 15 fully vaccinated participants for this trip. Registration opens on July 27. \nThe Sky Trail\, called “the misty spine of Bear Valley”\, takes us through a maturing Douglas Fir/ Bishop Pine forest. Forest birds are more active early and moving birds often follow ridges so I would like to look and listen on our walk through this habitat. We may see or hear a Pileated Woodpecker\, Band Tailed Pigeons\, Stellar’s Jays\, Swainson’s Thrush\, Osprey\, nuthatches and surely Acorn Woodpeckers and Chestnut-backed Chickadees. Northern Spotted Owls\, Western Screech and Saw-whet Owls live here but we would need to be here at dusk or dawn to hear them. \nAfter we leave\, we drive down to the great beach of Limantour with its miles of sand\, its tidal estuary the open expanse of Drakes Bay and the Pacific ocean beyond. We will gather at 9:30 in the ample parking lot with restrooms nearby. We’ll pack our lunches\, shoulder our scopes and head out and up the beach. We can hike far enough to find Snowy Plovers to get our exercise and to cross over to the estuary side for our walk back. Gulls\, terns\, cormorants\, loons\, grebes\, pelicans\, murres\, and guillemots will garner our attention and I’m always interested what the Pacific will bring close to shore. Shorebirds too\, some already back from their breeding excursion to the Arctic\, may decorate the shore or be gathering along the estuary shores and shallows. Some ducks\, hawks\, and herons will show up too. \nDirections to Sky Trail: From CA 1 South\, right (left from CA 1 North) onto Sir Francis Drake Blvd for 0.7 miles\, left onto Bear Valley Road for 0.5\, then right onto Limantour Road for 3.4 miles to the Sky Trailhead. Roadside parking is available near the trailhead. \nFrom Sky Trailhead\, the drive to the Limantour beach parking lot is 4.3 miles.  \n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \nBecome a chapter supporting member of the Marin Audubon Society starting at $35 a year\, or RENEW your membership today!

SUMMARY:THE PONDS AT THE LAS GALLINAS VALLEY SANITARY DISTRICT (LGVSD)
 San Rafael
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 1\, 2022\n9 AM to noon\nBirding with Sande and Bob Chilvers\nNo registration required for this trip. \nFully vaccinated guests only please.  \nJoin old friends and meet new ones as we resume our regularly scheduled walks on the first Thursday of the month at Las Gallinas. We especially welcome beginning birders on this leisurely walk around the ponds. Special thanks to Bob and Sande Chilvers for volunteering once again to lead our monthly walks in search of waterfowl\, waders\, songbirds\, raptors\, and shorebirds.

SUMMARY:ABBOTT’S LAGOON AND THE INVERNESS TENNIS AREA
 - Birding in Marin Series
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 3\, 2022\n8:30 AM to mid afternoon\nBirding with Jim White and Bob Battagin\nRegister for this field trip HERE \nLimit of 15 fully vaccinated participants for this trip. Registration opens on August 24 at 8AM.  \nAbbott’s Lagoon on the Pacific Coast in the Point Reyes National Seashore is one of Marin’s premier birding locations sporting an eBird sum of 283 species. Fall migration south along the coast brings many birds to this area. Some that we hope to see include Ferruginous Hawk\, Baird’s and Pectoral Sandpipers\, Red-necked Phalaropes\, Lapland Longspur\, Horned Lark and Pipits. Hundreds of ducks of a dozen species\, geese\, herons\, Peregrines and Ospreys are also likely visitors. Plus you get some exercise; out and back is about 3 miles (some in sand) and Jim likes to do a full 5-mile loop. So pack a lunch for a picnic on the beach and bring a couple of layers for the fresh ocean air and help us spot a rarity. \nTo help bolster our participant’s species lists to our yearly goal of 200\, we plan to stop along Tomales Bay near the Inverness Tennis club to look for Pine and Alder woodland birds.

Registration opens on August 28 at 8AM  \nJoin William and David for this fall migration field trip at Rodeo Lagoon.

On this particular trip\, our group will be targeting Parasitic Jaeger\, migrating shorebirds\, warblers\, and other passerines. We will begin the morning with a Sea Watch at 7:30 AM. Those arriving later may join us at 8:30 AM for a circuit of the lagoon. \nDIRECTIONS: Head south on Hwy 101 and take the last Sausalito exit just before the Golden Gate Bridge. At the exit stop sign\, turn right and go under the freeway\, then follow the road down to the left. Within 300 feet turn left at the sign to the Marin Headlands (This is the only available left turn before you begin the descent into Sausalito). You should see the tunnel with the five-minute light. Proceed through the tunnel on Bunker Rd to the Rodeo Lagoon Parking Lot at the end. Meet by the bridge over the channel to the beach or join MAS birders with scopes along the nearby beach area.  \n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \nBecome a chapter supporting member of the Marin Audubon Society starting at $35 a year\, or RENEW your membership today!
