SUMMARY:Las Gallinas Sanitary District & Hamilton Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:Birding in Marin\, Season 10 – Trip 1\nSaturday\, January 4\, 2025\n8:30 AM to mid afternoon\nBirding with Jim White and Bob Battagin\nRegister HERE for this Field Trip \nRegistration required. Registration opens at 8 AM on December 26 \nBob and I are leading our Birding in Marin monthly first Saturday field trips for the tenth season sponsored by the MAS. Please join us as we go birding with a goal of finding and sharing 100 species at two of our prime wintering habitats for ducks\, shorebirds\, raptors and sparrows. Las Gallinas is a great example of generating wildlife habitat with ample human access. This will be a 2 mile walk over a wide\, flat packed dirt walkway with plenty of scope views to share closeups. \nThe Hamilton wetlands have been restored with intelligence\, sensitivity\, and precision. The birds and wildlife have appreciated this and come back in numbers that we expect to share. The walk is flat over a wide\, mostly paved walkway\, accessible via a ramp. \nDIRECTIONS: From Hwy 101 in northern San Rafael take Smith Ranch Road east about a mile\, just crossing the tracks turn left and park in 1/2 mile near the east end. Meet at Las Gallinas VSD parking lot.

SUMMARY:Migratory Shore Bird Project: Connecting Communities of the Americas through Research for Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 9\, 2025\n7:00 – 9:00 PM\nSpeaker: Matthew Reiter – Point Blue Conservation Science\nRegister HERE for this Speaker Series \nTopic:\nShorebirds are some of the most migratory species on the planet. However\, their populations in the Western Hemisphere have been declining over the past 40 years. To better understand what is driving changes in shorebird populations and to turn data into knowledge and then conservation action\, in 2011 Point Blue and partners launched a coordinated research\, monitoring and conservation network for shorebirds in the Pacific Americas Flyway. The Migratory Shorebird Project is now a network of over 50 partners in 13 countries from Canada to Chile working together to study shorebirds and shorebird habitats and to implement conservation actions at scales that are relevant for these long-distance travelers. \nSpeaker Bio:\nAs a Research Director and quantitative ecologist with Point Blue Conservation Science\, Dr. Matt Reiter’s work focuses on the ecology and conservation of migratory waterbirds and their wetland habitats in order to understand the impacts of threats such as habitat loss and climate change across broad migratory landscapes. Matt received an M.S. (2006) and Ph.D. (2009) in Wildlife Ecology from the University of Minnesota and has been at Point Blue since 2009. \nNext Speaker:\nThursday\, February 13\, 2025\nBay Area Wildlife: An Irreverent Guide\nSpeaker: Jeff Miller

Registration opens at 8 AM on December 31\, 2024 \nDaniel invites you to discover the joy of a wilderness-like paradise — Skaggs Island Road — that often attracts dozens of shorebird and duck family members\, in addition to uncommon\, visiting non-breeding raptors such as Rough-legged Hawk\, Ferruginous Hawk\, and Merlin (along with sightings of White-tailed Kite and other raptor species). Skaggs Island Road has flat\, level hiking for no more than 1.5 miles; bring your lunch\, we’ll eat at the bridge approximately 0.6 mile from the parking area at Hwy 37. \nDIRECTIONS: Closed to the public\, Skaggs Island Road is accessed by meeting our group in the parking area adjacent to Hwy 37 (approximately 3 miles east of Reclamation Rd and 2 miles east of the Hwy 121/Sears Point Raceway intersection (at the stoplight). We’ll meet on the north side of Hwy 37 where it intersects with Skaggs Island Road. Here’s a map link that shows where we’ll meet: https://bit.ly/3YYIJeg. Please be careful turning into this road when coming from Marin County. Oncoming traffic is often heavy.
