SUMMARY:Point Reyes Lighthouse to Drakes Beach – Birding in Marin - Season 7\, Trip 10
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 10/1/2022\n8:30 AM to mid-afternoon\nRegister HERE for this field trip \nLimit of 15 fully vaccinated participants for this trip. Registration opens September 21 at 8AM.  \nThis is the place to be for fall birding. Many migrants like hawks\, jaegers\, shorebirds and loons follow the coast south. Many songbirds\, migrate at night and seem to have a compass bearing in mind\, momma said to fly “15 degrees east of due south for 4 days.” Millions of recently fledged birds undertake a journey of 2-4000 miles without a google assistant and many without further parental guidance. Some get lost. \nImagine that you are a dyslexic Connecticut Warbler hatched in early June in the boreal forest of north central Canada. It is your second night flight\, you are flying west instead of east or south\, you crossed some mountains so that you are flying sort of high\, morning is approaching so you descend thru the clouds and there is nothing but water. A fog shrouded coast was not in your flight plan. You reverse directions\, trying to avoid the gulls and jaegers pursuing you\, when you see trees miles away on a point sticking above the fog. Relief\, a place to land\, to rest\, and to find something to eat. These vagrant warblers and other eastern songbirds are the reasons that the tree islands of the Point Reyes peninsula are so popular with birders \nWe intend to visit the nearby Fish Docks after The Light house then work our way back to Drake’s Beach for lunch and much more birding. \nDirections: Meet at 8:30 at the Lighthouse parking area. The Lighthouse parking area is at the west end of S F Drake. Going north thru Inverness follow Drake to the Lighthouse. Allow 30 min from Inverness or 1.5 hour from San Rafael.

SUMMARY:Rodeo Lagoon - Marin Headlands
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 5\, 2022\n7:30 AM to noon **Please note 7:30 AM is the correct start time\, not 8 AM\nBirding with William Legge and David Wiechers\nRegister HERE for this field trip \nLimit of 15 fully vaccinated participants for this trip. Registration opens on our TicketBud sight on September 25 at 8AM. \nWith large numbers of birds moving through the area this time of year\, it’s sure to be an interesting outing with unusual sightings a definite possibility. We’ll start with a 30-40 minute visible migration and sea watch from Rodeo Beach hoping for Parasitic Jaegers as well as other passing goodies before undertaking an extended circuit of Rodeo Lagoon in the search for scarce migrants including early winter wildfowl\, shorebirds and fall passerines. More than 60 species should be possible at this time of year. The morning will begin with a sea watch at 7:30 AM. \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 Road to the Rodeo Lagoon Parking Lot at the end and meet by the bridge over the channel to the beach.  \n

SUMMARY:The Ponds at Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District (LGVSD)
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 6\, 2022 \n8:30 AM to 11:30 AM\nBirding with Sande and Bob Chilvers  \nAll fully vaccinated participants are welcome to join this trip. No registration required. \nJoin old friends and meet new ones as we resume our regularly scheduled walks on the first Thursday of the month at Las Gallinas. Special thanks to Bob and Sande Chilvers\nfor volunteering once again to lead our monthly walks in search of waterfowl\, waders\, songbirds\, raptors\, and shorebirds. With fall migration underway\, we are likely to spot some interesting species\, so come assist in our search.  \nWe welcome bird enthusiasts of all levels. We all help each other to find and identify the birds\, and there are usually several experienced birders to assist. You don’t even have to arrive on time because we spend the first 30-60 minutes studying the birds around the first pond\, and our group is easy to find.  \nDIRECTIONS: From Hwy 101\, exit at Smith Ranch Rd. Drive east on Smith Ranch Rd toward McInnis Park. Turn left immediately after crossing the railroad tracks and drive about 0.5 mile through the LGVSD gates and into the parking lot at the end of the road. Meet the group by the bridge just past the parking lot. There is an outhouse in the parking area for public use or you can use the bathrooms at nearby McInnis Park.

SUMMARY:Hummingbirds of California and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 13 at 7:00 PM\nSpeaker: Bob Lewis\nFree and open to the public.\nRegister for this speaker series program HERE \nThe story of hummingbird evolution starts about 50 million years ago\, far from the lands they currently inhabit.  We’ll trace the history of their evolution and then briefly discuss relationships between the 9 tribes of living species. After reviewing California’s 7 most common species – all belonging to the Bee tribe\, we’ll look at other North American species\, and then examine representatives of the other tribes\, mostly concentrated in South America. Finally\, we’ll consider some conservation issues and end with a few words on hummingbird photography.   \nBob 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.  Bob was honored with American Birding Association’s Chandler Robbins Award for Education and Conservation in 2016. He loves to travel and has photographed and chased birds in over 40 countries. His life list is over 5000 species. \nCaption – Costa’s Hummingbird\nPhoto by – Bob Lewis
