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:Bay Point Regional Shoreline
DESCRIPTION:“Secretive Marsh Birds Sunrise Saunter”  \nThis pre-dawn adventure will focus on finding California Black Rail\, Sora\, Virginia Rail and American Bittern. During our stroll along the one-mile\, flat Harrier Trail\, we will explore its namesake bird while enjoying views of kites\, shrikes\, shorebirds\, and wonderful waterfowl. We will use “Doc Quack’s” special access code to visit this newly restored marshland\, so you must be there by 5:30 am as all access gates will be locked at 0545. Dress in layers and bring light rain gear as needed. This is a wheelchair-accessible field trip. Pre-registration is required\, and all are welcome. Rain cancels the field trip. \nDirections: From Highway 4 in Bay Point\, exit at the Bay Point/San Marco Boulevard exit and go north onto Willow Pass Road\, towards the river. After about one-half mile\, turn left onto Port Chicago Highway. Proceed for about 1.25 miles and take McAvoy Road to the trail staging area on the left.  \nReservations required by 4/9/2025 to dr*******@*****ks.org  \n

SUMMARY:Garin Regional Park - Birding by Ear
DESCRIPTION:Come explore by ear and other gadgets the willow and sycamore-lined creekside supporting an amazing array of insects\, which in turn provides food for foraging and nesting Neotropical songbirds\, such as Tree Swallows\, Swainson’s Thrush\, Black-headed Grosbeak\, Bullock’s Oriole\, Wilson’s Warbler\, and much more. Research has revealed that this rural setting provides habitat for nearly 150 bird species of which more than 65 are breeding birds. \nDirections/address: From Hwy 880 in Hayward\, take the Industrial Parkway exit and travel east to Mission Blvd. Make a right onto Mission Blvd. and travel one block to Garin Ave and then make a left. The park entrance is approximately one mile uphill\, address 1320 Garin Avenue\, Hayward.

SUMMARY:Pine Canyon\, Walnut Creek 
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a nice walk through oak woodlands in the Diablo foothills. Paved trails and moderate hills will give us a chance to see birds such as Cassin’s Vireo\, Rock and Canyon Wrens\, and possibly nesting Peregrine Falcons. Scopes can be useful in certain areas\, but they are not necessary. Meet at the Diablo Foothills Staging Area parking lot (1700 Castle Rock Rd.) at 8:30 am.  \nDirections: Take I-680/24 to Ygnacio Valley Rd. Turn right onto Ygnacio and then turn right again at Walnut Ave. (NOT Walnut Blvd.). Follow Walnut Ave. to the traffic circle and bear right onto Castle Rock Rd.

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.
