SUMMARY:Mt. Tam & Corte Madera Marshes - Birding in Marin Season 7 - Trip 4
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 2\, 2022\nBirding with Jim White and Bob Battagin\n8:30 AM to mid afternoon\nRegister for this field trip HERE  \nRegistration for this trip opens at 8:00 AM on Wednesday\, March 23. 8:00 AM. Limit of 15 fully vaccinated participants for this trip. There will not be a waiting list. \nMount Tamalpais\, rising like an icon above Marin\, hosts some birds uncommonly seen in the rest of the county such as Pileated Woodpecker\, Red-breasted Nuthatch\, Purple Finch\, Red Crossbill\, and in the winter 1or 2 Townsend’s Solitaire. About twenty years ago our friend Dave MacKenzie discovered a TOSO feeding on mistletoe berries in some Sargent Cypress trees along the trail to Barth’s retreat and the bird or its children have returned every year since! But the trail\, built by the CCC\, California Conservation Corp\, back in the 1930s has not withstood the test of time quite as well. So\, if you are up for a vigorous though short (3.5mi) hike\, join us to see what we can find. \nAfter our lunch break back at Rock Springs with fine picnic Tables and a restroom\, we intend to drive down to sea level to look at the Corte Madeira marshes. This area is very birdy so depending on the tidal height we expect to see a lot of birds there. Wintering shorebirds are gearing up for the return to their arctic nesting grounds so we may be able to see why how Black-bellied Plovers got their name. As the shorebirds molt into their breeding plumage\, if we are diligent\, we might even be able to tell the two Dowitcher species apart. \nDirections: Meet at Rock Springs at 8:30. From Highway 1 in Stinson Beach or up 3.3mi from Tam Junction\, take Panoramic Drive to it’s crest then go uphill 1 mile on Pantoll Road to the Rock Springs parking lot.

SUMMARY:Eye\, Mind\, Hand\, Line: Identifying Birds Through the Eyes and Words of an Artist
DESCRIPTION:THURSDAY\, April 14 at 7:00 PM\nSpeaker: Keith Hansen\nRegister for this Speaker Series HERE \nIllustration by Keith Hansen \nOur program focuses on highlights from Hansen’s Field Guide to the Birds of the Sierra Nevada\, artist-naturalist Keith Hansen’s sixteen-year project to illustrate the birds of the Sierra Nevada. From the tiniest hummingbirds to condors with nine-foot wingspans\, Keith brings his artist’s perspective to the identification and characteristics of his avian subjects through his beautiful illustrations and unique descriptions. \nKeith’s path to his life’s work began as a barefoot kid exploring the woods of Maryland. Captivated by birds\, he began drawing them as a teenager. Gathering fundamental experience regarding avian anatomy\, he studied and banded hundreds of birds over the years on California’s Farallon Islands through the Point Reyes Bird Observatory. His life has been a generous mix of art and travel as he illustrated numerous books\, ornithological publications and countless private commissions.

SUMMARY:Corte Madera Ecological Reserve - April
DESCRIPTION:Saturday April 23\, 2022\n9:00 AM to 12:00 PM\nBirding with Bryan Flaig\nRegister for this field trip HERE \nLimit of 15 fully vaccinated participants for this trip. Registration for the Corte Madera trip will be open starting on April 13 at 8:00 AM. There will not be a waiting list. No drop-ins please. \nJoin us for a spring bird walk to outer Corte Madera Marsh. We’ll start by visiting the Marin Audubon Restoration Area and continue out to the edge of San Francisco Bay. We’ll complete a 2.5 mile loop back to the flood control pond and finish at our starting location. The winter residents should be leaving and spring visitors arriving. We can expect to see red-wing blackbirds\, several species of swallows\, sparrows and boisterous Western Meadowlarks. We may also catch a glimpse of the resident osprey and peregrine falcon. We’ll stop along the trees that line the main hiking trail to check for migrating warblers! This trip requires several miles of walking on flat terrain at a comfortable pace. It’s the perfect trip for beginning birders and those who want to explore more of Corte Madera Marsh. \nRestrooms are available at nearby stores\, but not on the marsh. Bring binoculars\, scopes\, layers\, water\, and snacks. Light rain does not cancel the trip. \nDIRECTIONS: Corte Madera Ecological Reserve is located behind Trader Joe’s in Corte Madera. Meet in the parking lot behind the store\, accessed by the driveway on the southside of World Market.
