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

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.

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
