SUMMARY:The Ponds at Las Gallinas Sanitary District (LGVSD) - San Rafael
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 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 - Mt Tam and Corte Madera Marshes
DESCRIPTION:Birding in Marin\, Season 8 – Trip 3\nSaturday\, March 4\, 2023\n8:30 AM to mid-afternoon\nBirding with Jim White and Bob Battagin  \nCLICK HERE to sign up for this field trip \nRegistration opens Wednesday\, February 22 at 8 AM. Trip limit is 15 fully vaccinated participants. No drop-ins\, please.  \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\, 1 or 2 Townsend’s Solitaire. \nAbout 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 (3.5 miles) 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 Madera 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 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 a.m. From Hwy 1 in Stinson Beach or up 3.3 miles from Tam Junction\, take Panoramic Dr to its crest then go uphill 1 mile on Pantoll Rd to the Rock Springs parking lot.

SUMMARY:Bay Area Mountain Lions – What We Know about Them and How They Fit into the Larger Statewide Population
DESCRIPTION:Thursday March 9\, 2023\n7:00 PM – 9:00 PM\nSpeaker: Winston Vickers\nRegister HERE for this Speaker Series \nMountain Lions in California are fragmented into subpopulations by roads and development. The Bay Area populations to the north and south of San Francisco are separated from each other and are separated from others further south and east by roads\, development\, and agriculture. Those to the north are affected by increasing road traffic\, agricultural conversions for the wine industry\, and other factors. Dr. Vickers will discuss the state of current knowledge\, legal status\, and ongoing research and mitigation efforts that are focused on these populations. \nDr. Winston Vickers is a wildlife research veterinarian with the University of California-Davis Wildlife Health Center (WHC). He has been studying mountain lions and other wildlife in California for 20 years and directs the WHC’s California mountain lion study. He collaborates widely with other mountain lion researchers\, as well as collaborating on studies involving bobcats\, wolves\, Channel Island foxes\, Santa Cruz Island scrub jays\, and waterfowl. He has also worked on oil spill response with the Oiled Wildlife Care Network at UC Davis. \nPhoto by:  Winston Vickers
