SUMMARY:Capay Open Space Park - Lesser Nighthawks
DESCRIPTION:Lesser Nighthawk ©Zane Pickus \nNighthawks are a family of cryptically colored\, primarily nocturnal bird species that are a favorite of many birders. Cache Creek is the summer home of the Lesser Nighthawk\, which winters in Central and South America before returning to California’s Central Valley to breed. Lesser Nighthawks primarily feed on insects under the cover of darkness\, but in the spring they routinely engage in dusk courtship rituals. Capay Open Space Park is the perfect place to observe nighthawks as they chase each other in acrobatic flights and sing their eerie trilled songs. \nYou can learn more about Lesser Nighthawks and listen to their song here:https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Lesser_Nighthawk/overview \nJoin Zane Pickus and Frank Fabbro in a dusk birding trip to Capay Open Space Park. While this trip will be focused on the nighthawks\, there should be plenty of other birds to see. California Thrashers\, though inconspicuous\, nest here. Western Meadowlarks\, California Quail\, and a variety of swallows will be abundant. Given the date\, we could encounter a neotropical migrant or two! \nWe’ll meet at 6:00pm at the Marketplace Shopping Center (near Big 5 Sporting Goods\, 1301 W. Covell\, just east of Hwy 113). We will plan to bird until dark\, and should return to Davis between 8:30pm and 9:00pm. Bring binoculars\, cameras\, snacks\, and water. The trip will include a short walk along the gravel creekbed. High winds or a significant rainstorm will cancel the trip. \nYolo Audubon Society field trips are free and open to the public. Carpooling is strongly encouraged\, but all rides are private arrangements between driver and riders. \nContact Zane for more details. zanep987@gmail.com \n\n

SUMMARY:Avian Habitat Use of a Yolo County Sustainable Ranching Landscape
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n  \n\n\n\n\nBobcat Ranch Phenology Volunteers ©Autumn Turner \n\n\n\n\nPlease join us for Yolo Audubon’s Members’ Meeting and Monthly Presentation.  \nBusiness Meeting: Ann Brice\, President \nPrior to start of the program\, President Ann Brice will lead Yolo Audubon’s annual business meeting\, where a vote will be taken via zoom and in person on the Articles of Incorporation to reflect the new name – Yolo Bird Alliance. In addition\, there will be a vote to confirm the slate of 2024-2025 Board of Directors. Participants on Zoom will vote on both actions via polls. \nPROGRAM DESCRIPTION \n\n\n\nThe public is invited to join Yolo Audubon and its members for a presentation on Avian Habitat Use of a Yolo County Sustainable Ranching Landscape by Autumn Turner\, Wildlife Management and Conservationist at the monthly general meeting on May 15\, 2024. The meeting is free and is held at the Davis Senior Center at 646 A Street in Davis\, and via Zoom. The meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. and runs until 8:50 p.m. People attending at the Senior Center\, are welcome to arrive at 7:00 p.m. for pre-meeting gathering with other attendees. Zoom attendees will be admitted a little before 7:30 p.m. \n      Following a brief background of the phenology project by Sonjia Shelly\, Yolo Audubon Phenology Project Coordinator\, our main speaker\, Autumn Turner\, will present the results of her Master’s Capstone Project\, which focused on evaluating the habitat features of the avian phenology route at Bobcat Ranch in Winters. As part of the National Phenology Network\, Yolo Audubon Society has conducted biweekly bird surveys on Audubon California’s Bobcat Ranch\, since 2016. The 6\,800-acre property is the state’s demonstration ranch for National Audubon’s Conservation Ranching Program. Autumn will discuss interesting highlights from the study including habitat relationships of key oak woodland and grassland bird species found on the Ranch\, and how birds have been observed using the different route sections. \nSPEAKER BIO \nAutumn Turner: A native Woodland resident\, Autumn recently received her master’s in wildlife management and Conservation from Unity Environmental College while continuing to work in the field of wildlife conservation. With a background in habitat restoration and wildlife rehabilitation in northern California\, Autumn previously worked on several conservation breeding and reintroduction programs in southern California including recovery efforts for the San Clemente loggerhead shrike and Mexican gray wolf. She currently works in the Napa Valley with a large-scale collaborative songbird research project in vineyards and maintains a position on the Yolo Audubon Board as the Newsletter Editor\, assisting with bird surveys\, nest box monitoring\, and local events. \nSonjia Shelly: graduated from THE Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine 44 years ago. Her career focused on diseases of fur/hair bearing friends rather than feathered friends. Thus\, her interest in birding began later in life (compared with many Yolo Audubon members) and she considers herself to be a perpetual beginner. Since retirement she has been active as a board member for Yolo Audubon Society and has participated in the YAS phenology survey at Bobcat Ranch\, helped organize and monitor nest box projects and volunteered for other organizations. She is a certified CA naturalist. \nDETAILS ON JOINING THE MEETING \nYou do not need to be a member of Yolo Audubon. If you would like to join\, visit https://yoloaudubon.org/join-renew-donate.

SUMMARY:Bobcat Ranch - Birds and Wildflower Tour
DESCRIPTION:Bullock’s Oriole ©Kelli O’Neill \nJoin Yolo Audubon Society for birds and wildflower tour of Bobcat Ranch. This sprawling blue oak woodland property sits in the hills of the coastal range just north of Berryessa Gap. The hills are green\, flowers are blooming\, and we should have some spring migrants showing up. Bobcat Ranch is great for spotting woodpeckers\, raptors\, and the occasional resident bald eagle as well as lupine\, blue dicks\, and a variety of other wildflowers. We will also visit one of the largest native milkweed stands in the area. \nThis trip will involve moderate-strenuous hiking with portions of sustained uphill on uneven\, unpaved surfaces. We will hike a loop approximately 2 miles long and gain about 300-400 feet in elevation. Bring binoculars\, plenty of water\, snacks\, hiking poles if needed\, and sturdy hiking shoes. Dress in layers as it can be cool in the early morning and warm in the late morning. \nWe’ll meet at 8:30 a.m. and aim to return to Davis by noon. Location and further details will be provided to those who have reserved a spot on the trip. \nThis trip has limited space. Please reserve a spot by emailing Ryan Janke (rhjanke29@gmail.com).  \n  \n\n
