SUMMARY:Outer Point Reyes
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 12\, 2024\n8:30 am – 2:00 pm\nBirding with Liz Lewis and Susan Kelly\nRegister HERE for this Field Trip \nRegistration required. Registration opens June 2 at 8 AM \nWould you like to contribute to the second Marin County Breeding Bird Atlas? Join MCBBA2’s Liz Lewis and Susan Kelly for a morning of blockbusting birding in Outer Point Reyes including the cypress tree tunnel to the historic RCA radio station. Time permitting\, we will explore the abandoned ranch as well. Block 3-4 is a high priority block with minimal data collected to date. Species we might see or hear include: Allen’s Hummingbird\, Swainson’s Thrush\, Northern Harrier\, and Western Meadowlark.  \nThe Atlas II is a four-year project that builds on the first Atlas begun in the 1970s by Bob Stewart and Dave Shuford that occurred over four field seasons\, where they supervised scores of volunteers in data collection using a grid system overlaid onto topographic maps of Marin County to determine the current distribution and composition of breeding birds. Their fieldwork culminated in the publication of Shuford’s landmark Marin County Breeding Bird Atlas. Now four decades later\, 70 volunteers are in their fourth year of collecting data to determine where we are now. All the data is being stored digitally with the California Avian Data Center (CADC) and can be accessed by the public through the MCBBA2 Data Explorer. \nDirections from the Point Reyes National Seashore Visitor Center:  \n\nFrom the Bear Valley Visitor Center\, head north 0.2 miles (0.3 km) to Bear Valley Road.\nTurn left and follow Bear Valley Road 1.75 miles (2.8 km) northwest to Sir Francis Drake Boulevard.\nTurn left and follow Sir Francis Drake Boulevard 9.5 miles (15.2 km) north and west.\nFollow road signs for “Lighthouse” until you see a sign for “North District Operation Center.”\nParallel park on the shoulder along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard near the entrance to the cypress tunnel.\n\nParking is limited to the shoulder of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard at the entrance to the cypress tree tunnel so carpooling is encouraged. Restrooms are available at the Visitor’s center and at the North Beach parking lot.

SUMMARY:Marin's Declining Shorebirds
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 13\, 2024\n7:00pm – 9:00pm\nSpeaker: Nils Warnock\nRegister HERE for this Speaker Series \nTopic: Nils will talk about the status and trends of our North America shorebirds\, with a focus on Pacific Flyway birds\, particularly those that occur in Marin County. He will first discuss how shorebirds around the world and in the USA are doing and then talk about the results of a 30+ year winter shorebird monitoring program that Audubon Canyon Ranch has been conducting at Tomales Bay since 1989. Overall\, numbers of wintering shorebirds on Tomales Bay have declined by over 65% over the past decades with Dunlin and Western Sandpipers among the biggest losers. Of the 14 taxa that ACR analyzed\, 3 increased over the past 30 years\, 1 stayed stable\, and 11 species declined. Nils will discuss potential reasons why our shorebird populations have declined and what we might do about it. \nSpeaker Bio: Nils Warnock has been the Director of Conservation Science for Audubon Canyon Ranch since 2018 and lives on Tomales Bay in Marshall\, CA. He has a PhD in Ecology from the University of California at Davis and San Diego State University. Nils started his ornithological career in West Marin at the Point Reyes Bird Observatory (now Point Blue)\, where\, most recently\, he was the co-director of the Wetlands Division from 2000-2008. From 2010-2018\, Nils served as the executive director of Audubon Alaska and as a vice president of the National Audubon Society. Nils is a Fellow of the American Ornithological Society and has 40 years of experience working with Pacific Flyway birds\, especially shorebirds. \nPhoto: Marin Shorebirds\nPhoto by: Nils Warnock
