SUMMARY:The Ponds at Las Gallinas Sanitary District (LGVSD) - San Rafael
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 2\, 2023\n8:30 to 11:30 AM\nBirding with Sande and Bob Chilvers  \nAll participants are welcome to join this trip. No registration required.  \nBeginning birders are especially welcome on the first Thursday of each month for a leisurely walk around the Las Gallinas ponds. Join our friendly leaders as we search for waterfowl\, waders\, songbirds\, raptors\, and shorebirds.  \nBird enthusiasts of all levels 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 to 60 minutes studying the birds around the first pond and the group is easy to find. Heavy rain cancels.  \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.

SUMMARY:Birding in Marin - Sausalito and Tiburon
DESCRIPTION:Season 8\, Trip 2\nSaturday\, February 4\, 2023\n8:30 AM to mid afternoon\nBirding with Jim White and Bob Battagin  \nRegister HERE for this field trip \nRegistration opens Wednesday\, January 25 at 8 AM. Trip limit is 15 fully vaccinated participants. No drop-ins\, please.  \nWe are going to explore the bay from the Sausalito waterfront to the Golden Gate and Richardson’s Bay around to Strawberry Point and on to Blacky’s pasture in Tiburon. Many ducks\, loons and grebes winter on the bay waters and we may compare looks at similar species like Eared and Horned or Clark’s and Western Grebes\, of Red-throated\, Pacific and Common Loons or Greater and Lesser Scaup. We are likely to find some shorebirds too\, perhaps a Spotted Sandpiper or a rather rare Wandering Tattler. \nHerring runs happen around this time of year and if we are lucky they will still be numerous. Herring deposit large numbers of eggs on eelgrass\, which water birds\, especially gulls\, love to feast on. Although the roe\, are fancied by some diners and there is a purse seining fleet hungry for profit\, the Department of Fish and Wildlife is trying to maintain a sustainable catch. Last year near this time I think that 10 species of gulls were located. So brush up on your gull IDs and join Bob and I along the shore. \nDIRECTIONS: Meet at the east end of Harbor Drive. Handicap Accessible. We will park where the birding is close\, near level and smooth. Thanks to enlightened development planning\, Harbor Drive and the rather posh Strawberry spit have fine public shoreline paths.

SUMMARY:Winter Birds of the Delta - Boat Trip
DESCRIPTION:Birding with David Wimpfheimer\nSunday\, February 5th\, 2023\nBoat departs at 9 AM. Plan to arrive early!\nRegister HERE for this field trip. Please see below for important registration information. \nThe trip costs $135. Limited to 25 people. Registration for this trip opens January 8th at 8AM. Tickets may be cancelled until February 2 at 12 noon. Cancellations will be refunded MINUS the TicketBud service charges. \nIf tickets aren’t available\, you may sign up for the waitlist by clicking the “Contact Organizer” prompt on Ticketbud and leaving your name and phone number.  \nThis very popular trip is being held the first weekend in Feb on Sunday Feb 5. We’ll depart from the Antioch Marina at 9AM and enter the San Joaquin River\, keeping an eye out for overwintering birds and any marine (or other) animals that happen to show up. As we head east\, we enter a number of the smaller sloughs and waterways with views out over the flooded agricultural fields that provide a refuge for flocks that nest in the north but winter here. \nAlong with the flocks of snow geese\, white fronted geese and Tundra swans\, numerous ducks\, shorebirds\, and raptors are usually spotted. Well known birder and naturalist David Wimpfheimer will provide commentary and Ronn Patterson (captain and naturalist) will fill in bits about the history of the delta as we transit this altered but still viable ecosystem. \nCoffee\, tea\, hot chocolate is provided\, bring lunch and snacks. Bad weather can cancel as with any winter trip. Light rain will not cancel. \nTicket holders will receive directions to the Antioch Marina\, where the trip begins and ends\, and other instructions\, approximately one week prior to the trip.  \nInclement weather will reschedule the trip to Sunday\, February 19.

SUMMARY:A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds
DESCRIPTION:Thursday February 16th\, 2023\nStart Time: 6:00 PM\nSpeaker: Scott Weidensaul\n \nThis program is a Zoom presentation of Golden Gate Audubon Society\, co-sponsored by Marin Audubon Society and others.\nPlease use THIS LINK the night of the Speaker Series. Password: 066785 \nScientists continue to make astounding discoveries about the navigational and physiological feats that enable migratory birds to cross immense oceans\, fly above the highest mountains\, go weeks without sleep or remain in unbroken flight for months at a stretch. Scott Weidensaul\, author of A World on the Wing (2021)\, takes us around the globe — to the shores of the Yellow Sea in China\, and the remote mountains of northeastern India where tribal villages saved the greatest gathering of falcons on the planet\, to learn how people are fighting to understand and save the world’s great bird migrations.  \nScott Weidensaul’s field research focuses on bird migration. He is a co-director of Project Owlnet\, studying owl migration\, and is a founder of the Critical Connections project\, which is tracking the migration of birds that breed on National Park lands in Alaska. He co-founded the Northeast Motus Collaboration\, which is creating a network of telemetry receivers to track the movements of bats\, insects and small birds.  \nImage: Shorebirds swarm the mudflats of the Yellow Sea in China\, one of the most endangered migratory hotspots on the globe.\nPhoto by: Scott Weidensaul
