SUMMARY:Mill Creek Road\, Fremont
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 2\, 8:30am – noon\nLeaders: Bob Toleno & Juli Chamberlin\nbi*****@****no.com \n\n\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 early May\, we hope to see migrants like Ash-throated Flycatcher\, Cassin’s Vireo\, migrating warblers\, as well as Rufous Hummingbird\, and maybe even an Olive-sided Flycatcher. Resident Rufous-crowned Sparrows 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 gentle hill and then back again. \n\n\nDirections: From 880 S\, take Auto Mall Pkwy east\, then get on 680 N 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. There are no restrooms\, so be sure to stop at the McDonalds or a gas station on Mission Blvd beforehand to use the facilities.

SUMMARY:Alameda Song Sparrow Habitat Use of Salt Pond Restoration Sites in South San Francisco Bay
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Brad Speno\nDescription: In the San Francisco Bay\, several large restoration projects are returning salt ponds to tidal salt marsh. The Alameda song sparrow (Melospiza melodia pusillula)\, a California species of special concern\, uses both restored and historic marshes\, but their use of restored salt ponds is not well understood. Brad Speno assessed Alameda song sparrow abundance and breeding presence with respect to salt pond restoration age and percent cover\, and height of native and non-native plants. He conducted bird count surveys and botanical surveys at seven study sites\, then mist-netted and banded birds at four study sites to detect breeding birds. Brad will discuss the results of his research and share recommendations for future restoration management projects.\n\nBio: Brad Speno is a wildlife biologist based in San Jose. He earned an undergraduate degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Colorado\, and he worked for various Department of Interior agencies and consulting companies prior to completing a Master’s of Science degree at San Jose State University. He volunteers with the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory\, who assisted in his research\, and he currently works for LSA Environmental Consultants.

SUMMARY:Mitchell Canyon\, Mt. Diablo State Park
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, May 13\, 8:30 AM – noon\nLeaders: Rich Nicholson and Bob Dunn\nrs****@***oo.com\n\nEnjoy an easy to moderate walk on a dirt road for a two to three mile round trip. Migration will be in full swing\, so we’ll be looking for flycatchers\, thrushes\, vireos\, and warblers\, in addition to the resident woodpeckers and raptors. Scopes can be useful\, but they are not necessary. Lunch is optional as we recap the list after the walk.\n\nDirections: Take SR-24 east or 680-north to Walnut Creek; exit at Ygnacio Valley Rd. Proceed east 8.5 miles to Clayton Rd; turn right. Drive one mile to Mitchell Canyon Rd.; turn right. At the end of the road\, enter the park after paying the $6 entry fee. Meet at the parking lot.

SUMMARY:Tour: Extremes of Inyo County (plus a little Mono County)
DESCRIPTION:Dates: May 25 – 30\, 2026\nLeaders: Bob Toleno and Juli Chamberlin\nCost: $975 per person for a shared room; $1\,175 for a single (includes all lodging and meals\, excluding alcohol)\nThe tour IS SOLD OUT\n\nWe’re running a repeat of last year’s popular Inyo County tour. We’ve added one additional night and an extra half day to try and see a few more species than we did last year. Some examples of breeding birds we saw on last year’s tour: Gambel’s Quail\, Greater Roadrunner\, Lesser & Common Nighthawk\, Black Swift\, Calliope Hummingbird\, Black-backed Woodpecker\, Brown-crested Flycatcher\, Plumbeous Vireo\, Juniper Titmouse\, Verdin\, Black-tailed Gnatcatcher\, LeConte’s Thrasher\, Black-throated Sparrow\, Sagebrush Sparrow\, Scott’s Oriole\, Lucy’s Warbler\, and Summer Tanager. Besides the breeding birds\, late May is also peak migration time\, so we’ll be searching the desert oases for the birds who are just passing through on their way north.\n\nThe tour IS SOLD OUT
