SUMMARY:A Worldwide Collaboration to Track Bird Migration
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Amie MacDonald\nHost: Doug Waterman\nDate: May 13\, 2021\nStart time: 7:30 PM\nEnd time: 9:30 PM\nRegister for the Zoom Meeting HERE \nThe Motus Wildlife Tracking System\, is an international collaborative research network that uses automated radio telemetry to track birds\, bats\, and insects. This presentation will include an overview of the Motus system\, which consists of a large number of receiving-towers strategically placed all over the world. When a tagged bird (or butterfly) passes within range of a tower\, its presence is recorded and incorporated into a database accessible to interested investigators wherever they may be. (And\, yes\, the system has also been used to track butterfly migration.)  \nThe network is rapidly expanding as more and more ornithologists and researchers seek to determine what can be done to conserve and enhance survival for these beautiful animals. \nAmie MacDonald works as the Western Motus Coordinator for Birds Canada\, and is currently working to expand the Motus Wildlife Tracking System in British Columbia. Previously\, she studied Red Knots during migratory stopover on the James Bay coast\, and has also spent several years working as a field technician\, primarily with shorebirds in James Bay and the Bay of Fundy\, but also with seabirds\, passerines\, and small mammals on various projects.  She loves being in the field and is interested in migration\, population ecology\, and the conservation of highly mobile species. \nPhoto: Tagged bird prepared for Motus Tracking System

SUMMARY:Rare Bird Sightings in Marin 2020
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 31\, 2021\n7 PM to 8:30 PM\nWith California Young Birders Club Members – Joseph Zeno\, Mark Schulist\, Lucas Corneliussen\, and John King\nCLICK HERE to Register for the Zoom Webinar \nMarin County hosts some of the best opportunities to see and find rare birds. You can see a new bird in Marin every time you go outside. As you grow as a birder and begin to be able to recognize most of the local species\, you will start to find new birds that may be rare where you live. The species you observe will change with the seasons. Fall migration in Marin County is exceptional for finding rare birds compared to most places on the west coast because the extent to which Point Reyes National Seashore extends into the Pacific Ocean makes it an ideal resting place for migrating birds. Some of the birds that stop there are regular migrants\, and some are truly rare because they get blown off course. These are known as vagrants. This webinar will illustrate where you can find rare migrants and vagrants in Marin county\, giving tips on how to find them\, and these talented and enthusiastic young birders will show you some of the highlights and best experiences they had with Marin’s rare birds in 2020. \nAll of the young birders presenting on this date are part of the Bay Area Chapter of the California Young Birders Club. Check out their website and read about their monthly field trips throughout the state. \nYoung Birders\nJoseph Zeno: Sophomore currently attending Terra Linda High School and part of the Marin School of Environmental Leadership (MarinSEL) program. Started birding in 2017 and likes to find and photograph birds and make photo books and calendars. Interested in studying how birds interact with other organisms in our changing environment. \nMark Schulist: Sophomore currently attending Marin Academy High School. Started birding in 2017 and enjoys photographing birds as well as any other wildlife. Interested in patterns of birds and how birds are able to migrate with such consistency. \nLucas Corneliussen: Junior currently attending Credo High School in Sonoma County. Started birding in 2011 and enjoys California county birding and birding in new locations all over the state as well as birding throughout the Point Reyes National Seashore on an almost weekly basis. Currently interested in nocturnal flight counts (NFC) and changes in migration patterns within certain species over the course of different periods of time. \nJohn King: Sophomore currently attending Terra Linda High School. Started birding in 2017\, and still enjoying the different habitats California has to offer. He enjoys birding in coastal forested areas where small passerines are abundant and in large flocks. Interested in the evolution of birds and the adaptations (structural/behavioral) they made to survive in the wild.

SUMMARY:Can Citizen Science Save Us?
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 17\, 2021\n7 PM to 8:30 PM\nWith Mary Ellen Hannibal\nSign up for the Webinar HERE \nMary Ellen Hannibal is an award-winning author.  Her book Citizen Scientist: Searching for Heroes and Hope in an Age of Extinction was named a best book of 2016 by the San Francisco Chronicle and won a Nautilus book award. She frequently contributes to Bay Nature\, Nautilus\, the New York Times\, and Science magazines. Her Stanford TEDx talk addresses citizen science in general:   Can Citizen Science Save Us? Her most recent TED addresses How you can help save the monarch butterfly\, and the planet. Citizen science is an old/new practice of direct observation of nature by amateurs. Today the practice is turbo-charged by smartphone technology and vast computing power.  It is needed as never before\, because plants and animals are disappearing too fast\, and Earth is undergoing a mass extinction. The good news is that citizen science is a concept\, a format\, and a tool for addressing environmental problems at a local level\, including the urban environment. In this talk I’ll go over some of the basics of citizen science and focus on local projects that make a difference. \nwww.maryellenhannibal.com \ngo.ted.com/maryellenhannibal

SUMMARY:Marin’s Booming Bird Populations: Three-quarters of a Century of Avifaunal Expansion
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Roger Harris\nHost: Doug Waterman\nDate: February 11\, 2021\nStart time: 7:30 PM\nEnd time: 9:30 PM\nPlease sign up HERE \nMany of our common Marin County birds\, whose abundance we now take for granted\, were rare or absent only three-quarters of a century ago. Since the beginning of the Southern Marin Christmas Bird County in the 1970s\, for instance\, Red-shouldered Hawk detections have increased tenfold. Habitat restoration and maturation\, conservation efforts\, and cultural changes in the behavior of individual bird species have all contributed to shifting – and\, for Marin\, generally increasing – bird populations.  \nSnowy Egrets\, Great Egrets\, and Great Blue Herons\, which had been extirpated from the Bay Area\, returned in the mid-twentieth century.  Black-necked Stilts were first recorded nesting in our marshes in the mid-1960s\, followed by American Avocets in 1984.  In 1996\, Forster’s Terns nested in Corte Madera Shorebird Marsh for the first time in Marin County. \nThe dean of California ornithology\, Joseph Grinnell\, wrote in 1915 that the Ridgway’s Rail “seems destined to early extinction.”  The rail is the logo bird of the Marin Audubon Society and conservation advocacy efforts have made Grinnell’s prediction of a century ago at least premature. \nOur speaker\, Roger Harris\, will unpack the evolving dynamics of avifaunal population change using data from Christmas Bird Counts\, the Marin County Breeding Bird Atlas\, and a variety of other sources. Roger is a Certified Wildlife Biologist and a longtime member of the Marin Audubon Society. Once the pandemic resolves\, he hopes to return to leading international eco-tours for the Oceanic Society. \nPhoto courtesy of Roger Harris

SUMMARY:Refuge - a Film from Gray Lodge Wildlife Area
DESCRIPTION:December 9\, 2020\n7:00 PM to 8:30 PM\nWith Director Mark Lipman\nCLICK HERE to register for the Zoom Event \nWe invite you to immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of this dawn-to-dusk portrait of the Gray Lodge Wildlife Area in Gridley.  When he first visited Gray Lodge in 2011\, Director Mark Lipman was not a birder but was deeply touched by the beauty of the place and the symphony of bird sounds.  On the night of our program\, Mark will briefly introduce his film and be available for the Q&A session afterwards. \nMark created this beautiful film and sound recording over a period of three winters.  His program is vastly different from our previous webinars and does not offer a classroom-type-learning presentation.  Rather it offers an aesthetic\, meditative experience that we hope you will enjoy as you head into the busy holiday season. \nThis forty-five minute film is intentionally slow paced with no talking\, although we may have a birding expert quietly identify the varied birds as they appear on the screen CLICK HERE access a Bird List in advance of the program. Then you can bird your way through the film! We recommend that you view this film on your largest available screen as Mark has created a three-channel video with surround sound\, and viewing would be optimum on a large screen. \nMark has worked as a documentary filmmaker for over thirty-five years\, exploring a wide range of subjects from domestic violence to human sexuality to affordable housing and community organizing.  His films have been broadcast nationally on public television and won numerous awards.  Refuge is his first foray into video installations and the natural world.

SUMMARY:Online Birding:  Red Tales\, Hawkish Behaviors\, and Migratory Stories – Revelations from the GGRO’s First 35 Years
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Program – CLICK HERE to signup\nStart Date:  Wednesday\, October 28\, 2020\nTime:  7 PM to 8:30 PM\nWith Allen Fish \nEach fall\, tens of thousands of birds of prey funnel overhead at the Marin Headlands\, the largest known raptor migration along the Pacific Coast.  In the early 1980’s a few Marin citizens started conducting counting and banding studies on the flight\, studies that drew many volunteers and soon evolved into the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory\, a full-fledged program of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy in cooperation with the National Park Service. Today\, the GGRO is part of a broad program of community science and ecological stewardship coordinated by the Parks Conservancy\, including ONE TAM\, and the Native Plant Nurseries. \nNow 35 years old\, with four staff and 240 volunteers\, the GGRO is the only barometer of migrating raptor populations in California\, providing population trends and migration locations for up to 19 species of hawks\, kites\, falcons\, eagles\, osprey\, vultures\, and harriers.  Along with keeping an annual pulse on California’s raptors\, the GGRO has forged long-term relationships with local biologists – to study a range of stressors on the wild birds of prey we have in hand\, among them\, diseases\, parasites\, rat poisons and other toxins. \nCome join us for an entertaining discussion of the GGRO\, Migratory Story and all things raptor\, as GGRO director Allen Fish delves into the best stories from Hawk Hill\, as well as the unique meaning of 2020 for long-term bird monitoring.  For many Bay Area birders\, Allen needs no introduction.  The GGRO’s first director\, he was hired in 1985.  With a background in evolutionary ecology and conservation biology from UC Davis\, Allen has a particular interest in bird population responses to urban development\, climate change\, and other human pressures. His presentations always manage to inform and entertain audiences.  This program will no doubt continue that tradition.

SUMMARY:Online Birding: The Natural History of Osprey in Marin County: Colonization and Population Growth
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Program – CLICK HERE to signup\nStart Date: Wednesday: October 21\, 2020\nTime: 7 PM to 8:30 PM\nWith Jules Evens \nSince the establishment of a nesting colony of Osprey at Kent Lake beginning in the mid-1960’s\, the local population grew exponentially\, at least over the next three decades. Beginning in the mid-1990’s\, the numbers leveled off and then began to decline somewhat. This presentation will trace the dynamics of that founding population\, discuss the reasons for its local decline as well as the population’s expansion in the greater Bay Area. \nBorn and raised in New England\, Jules lived with his family and worked as a wildlife biologist in western Marin County for over three decades. He currently lives in coastal Oregon but returns to Marin for field work and friendships. His primary research focuses on tidal wetlands\, avian population trends\, and species at-risk. He has written three California Natural History Guides: The Natural History of the Point Reyes Peninsula (3rd ed. 2008)\, An Introduction to California Birdlife with Ian Tait (2005)\, and Birds of the Northern California Coast with Rich Stallcup (2014). \nPhoto Credit: Dave Strauss

SUMMARY:Online Birding: Diurnal Raptors of Marin
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Program – CLICK HERE to signup\nStart Date: Wednesday\, October 7\, 2020\nTime: 7 PM to 8:30 PM\nWith Shannon Burke – Marin County Parks Naturalist \nFrom colorful kestrels to enormous eagles\, diurnal raptors are charismatic birds of our landscapes.  Perched at the top of the food web\, these species take advantage of different habitats and use various strategies to hunt.  We’ll explore how these behaviors\, along with distinguishing field marks\, can help in identifying our local species as we discuss some of the life history stories that make each unique. \nMarin County Parks Naturalist Shannon Burke\, known for her expertise in a variety of natural history fields (some animal\, some vegetable)\, has a special interest in raptors and worked for a number of years as a volunteer for the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory.  She always combines her considerable field identification skills with substantial knowledge of animal behavior to create outstanding programs. \nPhoto Credit: Elyse Omernick
