SUMMARY:Feathers and Flight: Journey to the New World Tropics
DESCRIPTION:Bird guide\, naturalist and photographer Benny Jacobs-Schwartz will take us on a gripping journey throughout the New World Tropics. Sharing his dazzling bird photos\, captivating videos and animated story-telling\, he brings a slice of the tropics to California. Delving into the subjects of migration\, tropical speciation\, and drivers of bio-diversity\, this media rich journey will share some of the fascinating and unique birds that inhabit the new-world tropics. Sure to both educate and entertain\, this presentation will leave you with a deeper understanding of tropical ecology and knowledge about where some of our backyard birds spend their winters! \nBenny Isaac Jacobs-Schwartz works seasonally as a naturalist guide\, expedition trip leader\, and international bird guide in a variety of locations.

SUMMARY:Sparrow Bingo Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Fall migration is largely over and the winter birds are settling in. Join Steve Hampton and Michael Perrone for a local jaunt around Yolo County. The challenge: to find as many species of sparrows as possible. As believers in the rule that when you search for one bird\, you discover another\, expect anything on this trip– the sparrows are just the excuse to get out and about. This will also be a good trip to practice birding by ear. Route to be determined as conditions warrant. \nWe’ll meet at 7:30 a.m. at the Marketplace Shopping Center (near Big 5 Sporting Goods\, 1301 W. Covell\, just east of Hwy 113). Bring binoculars\, scopes\, cameras\, snacks\, lunch\, and beverages. High winds or a significant rainstorm cancel this trip. We will return by 3:00pm. \nContact Michael Perrone at michaelperrone10@yahoo.com for more info. \nLast year’s participants  enjoyed the novelty of checking off sparrows on a bingo card! \nYolo Audubon Society field trips are free and open to the public. Some trips may be limited by number of participants\, if stated in the description. Car-pooling is encouraged\, but all rides are private arrangements between driver and riders. Heavy rain or high winds may cancel any trip.

SUMMARY:Bolinas Lagoon
DESCRIPTION:Here’s a chance to see some shorebirds as they migrate south after breeding. During the fall\, some birds like Elegant Tern and Heermann’s Gull take advantage of the west coast of California to feed their summer-hatched generation. We’ll be observing this on our tour around Bolinas Lagoon. Other species we may see are shorebirds: Whimbrel\, Long-billed Curlew\, Sanderlings\, and sandpipers along the beach. Offshore\, we’ll be looking for south-migrating species such as Common\, Pacific and Red-Throated Loons. \nMeet at 7:00 a.m. at the Marketplace Shopping Center\, near Big 5 Sporting Goods in Davis. (West Covell & Highway 113; map below) \nBring binoculars\, spotting scope if you have one\, snacks\, lunch and beverages. If you plan on driving\, please RSVP to the trip leaders. \nThis is a middle-of-week\, all-day birding trip.

SUMMARY:Marin County: Raptor Migration on Hawk Hill
DESCRIPTION:Join Yolo Audubon on a field trip to view hawk migration in action. Now is the time that several species of hawks\, including the Red-tailed Hawk\, Cooper’s Hawk\, Sharp-shinned Hawk\, and perhaps Broad-winged Hawk make their way to southern regions. We will also join the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory’s (GGRO’s) “Hawk Talk” at noon. A GGRO volunteer speaks about hawk migration and identification\, and the work of the GGRO. If we are lucky\, a banding volunteer will bring up a newly-banded hawk\, talk about the banding program\, and release the hawk in front of the crowd. \nThis trip will involve a short but somewhat steep climb\, on a level surface\, to reach the top of Hawk Hill. \nParticipants should plan to meet at the Marketplace Shopping Center\, near Big 5 Sporting Goods in Davis. (West Covell & Highway 113; map below) at 7:00am for the sign-in process. The early start should help us obtain close parking. Expect to return to Davis between 5:00-6:00pm. Participants are free to discuss and arrange ridesharing among themselves. \nIf you plan to meet the group at the location\, follow directions to Hawk Hill on Conzelman Rd\, Sausalito\, CA. After parking\, look for the big banner just west of the main Hawk watching platform on the very top of Hawk Hill. \nBring binoculars\, spotting scope if you have one\, snacks\, lunch and beverages. If you plan on driving\, please RSVP to the trip leader Ken Ealy (530-219-1217 or email) \nThis public outing is free to all participants.

SUMMARY:Falcon Accipiter Buteo – A 35-Year Review of Community Science at the GGRO
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our first General Meeting of the fall season. Allen Fish\, director of the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory\, will present on the organization’s results\, revelations\, conundrums\, quandaries\, and half-baked hypotheses. \nBay Area native Allen Fish was hired to direct the GGRO starting in 1985 after a robust education in avian ecology from UC Davis. His first public speech was on the Yosemite Great Gray Owls for the then-Davis Audubon Society in 1981 using Kodak slides. \nAbout the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory: Since the mid-1980s\, volunteers and staff of the GGRO have been tracking the annual fall migration of birds of prey over the Marin Headlands\, the largest known flight path on the Pacific Coast. Thirty-five years later — with 42\,391 raptors banded and 720\,927 raptors counted – just what have we learned? \nCome to meeting to find out what GGRO has learned: which California city has the largest density of nesting Cooper’s Hawks ever recorded? What raptor showed the highest resilience to West Nile virus? What was the rarest raptor documented in the Marin Headlands in the past three decades? Are you more likely to call a Coop a Sharp-shin or vice versa? What is the raptor species of greatest conservation concern in California today? \nThe program starts at 7:30 p.m.\, but everyone is invited for refreshments and conversation at 7:00. We meet at the Davis Senior Center\, 646 A Street in Davis.

SUMMARY:Napa River at American Canyon
DESCRIPTION:Adjacent to the Napa River is a restored shoreline walking trail; where tidal fluctuations can be observed. First we’ll walk along a large tidal lagoon looking for resting birds. After a short level walk the rising tide will bring foraging birds as they come closer to us. \nDuring this time of year fall migration is underway; we can be on the lookout for surprises along with the expected sandpipers\, godwits\, willets and ducks; some still in premolt into basic plumage. Mute Swans are a bonus to expect since they have been a breeding species along the river for more than 20 years. \nAll along the walkway we’ll be enjoying the open vistas looking west toward the wetlands and over Napa River. \nPlan to meet at 7:30 am at Marketplace Shopping Center\, near Big 5 Sporting Goods\, at W. Covell & Highway 113 in Davis. Bring binoculars\, scopes and snacks/lunch to bring along on this morning walk. After returning to cars the group will have a lunch in the picnic area before returning to Davis. \nContact co-leaders:\nSami LaRocca [530 908-0288; sami182@wavecable.com\nJohn Mott-Smith [530 400-7622; johnmottsmith@comcast.net]

SUMMARY:International Bird Rescue
DESCRIPTION:JD Bergeron\, Executive Director of International Bird Rescue located in Fairfield\, CA participated in the annual nesting albatross census on Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. The census occurs once each year roughly between mid- December and the first week in January. The Refuge is located within the Papāhanaumokuākea Marine National Monument\, approximately 1\,350 miles northwest of Honolulu. JD will present all the latest information\, and amazing visuals\, about his work on the census to share with our community. \n\n\n\nAbout Midway Atoll: Midway Atoll is the site of the world’s largest albatross nesting colony as well as numerous other globally important species such as the endangered Hawaiian monk seal and Laysan duck. The work conducted by the nesting albatross census team on Midway Atoll provides vital information found few places on earth to researchers\, managers\, conservation groups and the global community interested in preserving and protecting oceanic seabirds and their nesting habitats. \n\n\n\nAbout International Bird Rescue: In 1971 after 800\,000 gallons of crude oil spilled into the bay\, concerned individuals led by a registered nurse named Alice Berkner jumped into action\, bringing International Bird Rescue to life.  Staff and volunteers work alongside clients\, partners\, and the public to find solutions. Today\, we research best practices at our crisis response hospitals in California and Alaska and share them worldwide. \nThe program starts at 7:30 p.m.\, but everyone is invited for refreshments and conversation at 7:00. We meet at the Davis Senior Center\, 646 A Street in Davis.
