SUMMARY:CALIFORNIA BIRD ATLAS BIG WEEKEND - JUNE 4 -7\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:California is undertaking its very first statewide breeding bird atlas from 2026 thru 2030\, and Ohlone Audubon Society is one of the founding partners. To help promote this massive effort\, from June 4 thru 7\, partner organizations will be hosting field trips and educational events. OAS will be providing two field trips during this period\, looking for breeding birds\, and educating birders about why the atlas is so important for science and conservation.\n \nBort Meadow\, Anthony Chabot Regional Park\nSunday\, June 7\, 8:30am – noon\nLeader: Kate Reed\n \nThe hills of Anthony Chabot Regional Park are diverse and rich breeding habitat for many species\, including Ash-throated Flycatcher\, California Thrasher\, Wrentit\, and Orange-crowned Warbler. We’ll walk about 1.5 – 2 miles on some hilly trails through riparian areas\, oak woodland\, and chaparral. This trip is part of the Caliifornia Bird Atlas Big Weekend event\, so our focus will be on detecting nesting birds. The trip is limited to 20 participants; reserve your spot by using the “Register” button above.\n\nDirections: Take I-580 W toward Oakland to Hwy 13 toward Berkeley. Take Exit 1 toward Redwood Rd\, continue straight at the stop sign onto Mountain Blvd\, then make a right onto Redwood Rd. Continue up over the hill about 5.5 miles and park in the lot for Bort Meadow Staging Area.

SUMMARY:Hayward Regional Shoreline - Winton Ave
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, July 13\, 10:30am – 12:30pm\nLeader: Bob Toleno\n\nJoin us for a 2 1/2 mile round-trip walk on flat paved and gravel paths to Frank’s Dump\, a wonderful high tide roost for shorebirds. July is an excellent month to view early migrating species\, and we hope to see Red Knots\, Short-billed Dowitchers\, maybe some Red-necked and Wison’s Phalaropes\, and Snowy Plovers\, most still in beautiful breeding plumage. July is also a great month for “peeps”\, and we should see thousands of Western Sandpipers\, possibly a Semipalmated Sandpiper\, or maybe even a real rarity like the Red-necked Stint found ten years ago on this trip. Most birds will be far away\, so bring a scope if you have one (leaders will have scopes to share\, of course).\n\nDirections: From I-880\, take the Winton Ave exit west and drive to the end. We’ll meet in the dirt parking lot just outside the gate.
