SUMMARY:North Livermore/Springtown
DESCRIPTION:Contact ka*******@*ol.com \n\n\n\n We will walk along the Arroyo\, where we can expect wading birds such as stilts and egrets\, ducks\, incl. Cinnamon Teal\, and many wintering and resident songbirds. Rails and snipe are possible. The open fields are productive for raptors – Golden Eagle and Ferruginous Hawk have been seen here. Wide\, level trails make walking easy. Bring your scope if you have one. Heavy rain cancels.  \n\n\n\nDirections: Take I-580 east to Exit 54 for First Street/Springtown Blvd; turn left onto First Street\, which becomes Springtown Blvd. Turn right (east) on Bluebell Dr. and continue about a mile and a half to Marlin A. Pound Neighborhood Park. We will meet at the bridge crossing the Arroyo. Park on either side of the street. No restrooms are on our route\, so you may wish to make a pit stop before arriving at the meeting point.  \n\n\n\nLeaders: Kathy Robertson & Karen Kramer  \n\n\n\nLocation North Livermore/Springtown

SUMMARY:Owling in Garin Regional Park
DESCRIPTION: February 1\, 2\, 3\, 4\, and 5\, 5:30pm – 7pm \n\n\n\nLeader: Bob Toleno     RSVP: bo*@****no.com \n\n\n\nThough highly sought after\, owls are often the most difficult birds for us to see\, for the obvious reason that most are typically only out after dark. On this trip\, we’ll take a short walk (less than a mile over flat ground) into Garin Regional Park\, with the primary goal of finding Western Screech-Owls\, and getting a flashlight on them so all participants can get a look. February is when they’re starting their nesting cycle\, so they should be active and vocal as soon as it gets dark. We will likely also hear Great Horned and American Barn Owls. \n\n\n\nThese trips will be limited to only FIVE participants per outing. You MUST RSVP to bo*@****no.com and specify which date you would like to go. \n\n\n\nTry to have a back-up date in mind\, also\, in case the date you choose is already full. The meeting location and directions will be provided via email before the trip. If all  trips fill up\, there will be a waiting list. Any rain or wind at all will cancel an outing\, though I will do my best to reschedule cancelled trips\, if possible.  \n\n\n\nLocation Owling in Garin Regional Park

SUMMARY:Scott Harris: RaptorQuest: Chasing America's Raptors
DESCRIPTION:Title:  RaptorQuest: Chasing America’s Raptors \n\n\n\nDescription: Scott Harris spent 17 months chasing 53 Raptors across 34 states – his version of a Raptor Big Year. RaptorQuest is about his adventures\, misadventures\, successes and failures. From -36 degree days\, to ones over 100 degrees\, to just getting on the bird just in time\, to the frustrations of missing one by minutes. It’s about the birds of course\, but it’s also aboutthe people he met\, the things he learned and why he’s already working onhis next adventure. \n\n\n\nPresenter: Scott Harris and his wife Randi retired to South Carolina in March of 2020 – something Scott will tell you was one of the best decisions they have made \n\n\n\nin their 45 years of marriage. It was also when he first started birding – a hobby he never imagined himself participating in\, but now can’t imagine living without.His interests and hobbies include the largest collection of John Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley in the worldand playing harmonica in a blues band. He has written more than fifty books in the past seven years and the one he’ll be discussing is his first entrée into the world ofbirding and birds.That book\, RaptorQuest: Chasing America’s Raptors\, is the story of hisyear-long adventure tracking down every species of Raptor in the Lower 48states. \n\n\n\nLocation:  Zoom \n\n\n\nRegister here:https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIsf-iupj4iGNwWOZRGoiFQxSQ-ANlL8dNP#/registration

SUMMARY:Flows of Water and Waterbirds Across California
DESCRIPTION:Description: Nathan Van Schmidt will be talking about research on the challenges facing waterbirds of the Pacific Flyway. Over a million waterbirds utilize San Francisco Bay for migratory stopover or over-wintering habitat each year\, including many species which have already lost substantial habitat elsewhere within the Western United States. Their habitat needs complicated efforts to restore tidal marsh throughout the Bay Area\, and a careful design of a balanced mosaic of habitats may be necessary to ensure the diverse species’ persistence. He will dig into over two decades of monitoring data on ten foraging guilds including shorebirds\, ducks\, gulls\, terns\, fisheaters\, and more within the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project and nearby remaining commercial salt production ponds\, and draw connections between challenges facing these regions and other waterbird populations across the western United States. The talk will dive deep into the ecology of two unique waterbirds with specialized habitat needs — Wilson’s Phalaropes and California Black Rails — the former of which was recently petitioned to be listed under the Endangered Species Act due to threats to saline lakes across the Great Basin. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker:  Nathan Van Schmidt is a Science Director at San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory (SFBBO)\, running their Waterbird and Climate Change research programs. A native of the midwest\, he obtained his B.S. from University of Wisconsin – Madison and moved to the Bay Area in 2011 to obtain his Ph.D. at U.C. Berkeley\, where he studied how anthropogenic wetlands allowed Black Rails to persist through California’s droughts. He has worked as a researcher in the U.S. Geological Survey\, U.C. Santa Cruz\, and the International Crane Foundation. In his current role he leads monitoring and research on the Project’s non-breeding waterbird guilds\, community scientist monitoring of colonial waterbird breeding activity across the nine counties of the Bay Area region\, waterbird disease and abatement research\, and is the Lead Author of the Central Coast Regional Report for California’s Fifth Climate Change Assessment. His interdisciplinary research couples long-term field ecology datasets on bird populations and their habitats with climate and land-use change forecasting to assess how species persist in human-dominated landscapes.

SUMMARY:Sabercat Creek
DESCRIPTION:Sabercat Creek trail follows a stream in Fremont with excellent riparian woodland in addition to many ornamentals. There are also grassy hillsides with sites for perching birds. We have a good chance to see both Allen’s and Anna’s Hummingbirds and have a five woodpecker day. Since we will be in the middle of Spring migration we should see great birds. We will start the trip from Old Mission Community Park where parking is plentiful and restrooms available. After a couple of blocks of street walking we will access the trail at its Pine Street entrance. Sabercat Creek has seen extensive excavations for fossils so there are many interpretive signs and even an online audio tour if you would rather listen to it than the birds. The trail is mostly level and paved the entire way. Total length is 3.2 miles but since it is an out-and-back\, you can turn around whenever you wish. \nDirections: Old Mission Community Park is at 1000 Pine Street in Fremont. Heading south on I680\, take the first Mission Blvd exit. Turn left on Mission and then right on Pine. The park will be at the intersection of Pine and Ibero Way.  \nFrom I-880 take the Auto Mall Parkway/Durham Road exit. Head east on Durham Road then left on Paseo Padre Parkway. Make a right on Camino del Campo and then left on Ibero Way to the park.

SUMMARY:Mill Creek Road\, Fremont
DESCRIPTION:Mill Creek Road\, Fremont  \nMill Creek Road is an underappreciated birding hotspot in Fremont. It parallels Mill Creek\, which creates a rich riparian habitat that flows from Mission Peak. In late April\, we hope to see migrants like Ash-throated Flycatcher\, Cassin’s Vireo\, migrating warblers\, as well as Rufous Hummingbird\, and maybe even a Calliope Hummingbird. Resident Rufous-crowned Sparrow should be singing\, and we’ll likely hear the song of the recently arrived Grasshopper Sparrow\, too. Lazuli Buntings and Black-headed Grosbeaks should be relatively abundant and singing on their breeding territories. We’ll walk about 1.5 – 2 miles on a paved road up the fairly gentle hill and then back again.  \nDirections: From I-880 S\, take Auto Mall Pkwy east\, then get on I-680 north for 2 miles\, exit on Mission Blvd\, turn right\, then turn left on Mill Creek Rd after just a couple blocks. Park on the street near the corner of Mill Creek Rd and Linmore Dr.  \nThere are no restrooms\, so be sure to stop at the McDonalds or a gas station on Mission Blvd beforehand to use the facilities.

SUMMARY:The Most Overlooked Birds in North America: Females
DESCRIPTION:May 2025 Membership Meeting\nThe Most Overlooked Birds in North America: Females\n\n\n\n\nDescription: Female birds often hide in plain sight. Typically drabber and more inconspicuous than males\, there is an unconscious bias towards male birds in birdwatching\, photography\, and even in our scientific knowledge about birds. This talk explores the history of focus on male birds\, why it’s important to focus on females\, and gives female bird identification tips. Joanna challenges the audience to confront their own biases in our pursuit of birds \nSpeaker: Joanna Wu is a PhD student studying female birds in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UCLA. She previously worked at the National Audubon Society and is a member of the Galbatross Project\, a group of birders\, scientists\, writers\, and conservationists who are passionate about spreading awareness about female birds. \n\nLocation Zoom\nClick here to Register for the Zoom meeting

SUMMARY:Point Reyes - Spring Migration
DESCRIPTION:Contact bo*@****no.com\n\nThursday\, May 29\, 7:30am – 3:30pm\nLeaders: Bob Toleno & Kate Reed\nRSVP required\, limited to 12 participants \nLate spring can be an excellent time for migrants and rarities at the birding hotspots in outer Point Reyes National Seashore. This all-day caravan-style birding trip will visit some of the prime birding locations on the outer point\, such as the fish docks\, lighthouse\, various ranches\, and Drake’s Beach\, where we’ll have lunch. After lunch\, we’ll visit the RCA building cypresses\, and finish up at the Inverness Tennis Club. \nWe will leave from Bovine Bakery in Point Reyes Station promptly at 7:30am so we can get to the outer point as early as possible. You should plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early if you want to get coffee and delicious pastries from the bakery. Wear layers—the outer point can be chilly! Bring lunch\, liquids\, sunscreen\, and a full gas tank. We will try to bring as few cars as possible to the outer point because parking is very limited in places. \nDirections: Take the Richmond Bridge to Hwy 101N\, take Lucas Valley Rd exit and turn left\, then turn right on Nicasio Valley Rd\, left on Petaluma-\nPoint Reyes Rd\, and left on Shoreline Hwy (Hwy 1).\nThe address of Bovine Bakery is 11315 Shoreline Hwy\, Point Reyes Station\, CA. \n\nLocation Point Reyes National Seashore

SUMMARY:The Extremes of Inyo County Tour
DESCRIPTION:Contact bo*@****no.com\n\n\n\n\nJune 1 – 5\, 2025\nLeaders: Bob Toleno & Juli Chamberlin\n\nCost: $825 per person for shared room; $950 for private room. Cost includes all food and lodging\, and any surplus benefits Ohlone Audubon Society.\nEmail: bo*@****no.com\n\nTHIS TOUR IS NOW FULL\n\nOn the southeast flank of the Sierra Nevada range\, Inyo County spans a huge range of habitats and elevations\, and offers some of the best inland birding in California. On this proposed tour\, we would explore those extremes\, from moist fir and aspen forests in the Sierra Nevada to the dry bristlecone pine forest of the White Mountains\, which contain the oldest living things on our continent. From the rich lowland riparian areas of the Owens Valley to the natural and artificial oases of the extreme deserts of the region\, including the lowest place on the continent\, Death Valley.\n\nIn addition to all the great breeding birds\, early June is prime time to find migrants\, especially vagrants from eastern North America. As nocturnal migrants fly over the deserts\, when the sun rises\, they must find patches of habitat where they can feed so they can continue northward. The artificial and natural oases act as magnets for migrating birds\, and in early June\, many of those can be rare eastern birds. For example\, in just one short morning walk at Furnace Creek a few years ago\, I was able to see Gray Catbird\, American Redstart\, Bobolink\, Indigo Buntings\, and two Cape May Warblers! You just never know what can show up.\n\nIf you’re interested\, please email to let me know. At least six participants would be needed to make the tour work\, and the maximum number would be ten. This would be a caravan-style tour\, so participants would need to arrive in their own vehicles (carpooling is always encouraged\, when possible). Lodging would be in motels and hotels\, meals in restaurants\, and all would be reserved for you in advance. It should be a lot of fun in a unique and exciting birding area in California!\n\n\n\nDownload the PDF Itinerary\n\nLocation Inyo County
