PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The public is invited to join Yolo Audubon and its members for the monthly general meeting on March 20, 2024. The meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. and runs until 8:50 p.m. The meeting is free and is held at the Davis Senior Center at 646 A Street in Davis. Folks are welcome to arrive at 7:00 p.m. for pre-meeting gathering with other attendees.
Dr. Frank Fogarty will provide a presentation over Zoom. Attendees in the Senior Center will view the presentation on the monitor.
Riparian areas around creeks, seeps, and snow pockets cover just a small fraction of the Great Basin’s mountains but are a key resource for much of its avian diversity. Dr. Fogarty will discuss his work on these systems, with a focus on better understanding how avian communities are structured in these naturally patchy and fragmented riparian areas. He will also discuss how changes due to climate change and human activity potentially will drive future changes to these communities.
