SUMMARY:Medford Island Fieldtrip
DESCRIPTION:Meet at the dock at the end of Eight Mile Rd at 8:00 a.m. for boat transport to the Island. Peter Ottesen will host us.

DESCRIPTION:Meet trip leader Dave Fries at Gate 2 (17676 Corral Hollow Road) of the Connolly Ranch at 8:00 a.m. The gate is on Corral Hollow Rd\, just before the entrance to the OHV PARK.

It’s extremely important to be at the gate on time\, as once we enter\, the gate will be closed and locked behind us.

SUMMARY:Beef Raised on Bird-Friendly Land
DESCRIPTION:Speakera: 3 Calhoun Sisters \nPlease join us for a visit from the 3 Calhoun Sisters\, cattle ranchers located in Livermore\, Ca. They have been farming in the Livermore area for over 100 years. The 3 Calhoun Sisters have recently been certified by Audubon Conservation Ranching for Beef Raised on Bird-Friendly Land. \nThe ranch has set in place many conservation measures to assist in promoting wildlife some of them are; \n\nThe installation of bluebird boxes to increase the bluebird populations\, bluebirds are one of the most desired birds as they eat destructive pests such as snails\, grasshoppers\, termites\, moths\, and mosquitos.\nOwl boxes were also installed by Our friends at the NRCS/RCD to use the circle of life method of ridding the garden of the gophers instead of using rodenticides or traps.\nAll of the watering troughs on our ranch have ramps that allow wildlife that may become trapped in a trough an easy way out.\nOak Tree restoration Project started in 2020 to replant and restore some of the older mature trees that were falling over.\n\nThe Pollinator Program started a few years ago after finding native milkweed on the property\, the sisters worked with local conservation districts to plant more milkweed and other pollinator plants. \nGo from consumer to conservationist when you purchase beef and bison raised on Audubon Certified bird-friendly land! You can help Audubon protect birds and the places they need\, today and tomorrow. Come listen The 3 Calhoun Sisters tell us their success stories on their ranch to help conserve all types of wildlife.

SUMMARY:White Slough Wildlife Area Fieldtrip
DESCRIPTION:If you are interested in adding Black Rail to your EBird list?.  They generally start calling spontaneously in spring\, so with good listening conditions (low wind)\, we stand a decent chance of hearing at least one.  (Sorry\, but don’t expect a visual!)  I have made arrangements to drive through the yellow gate so there should be less chance of vandalism.  Even so\, we need to keep the number of cars to a minimum\, so plan to double up before you arrive at the yellow gate.  Feel free to contact me if you have questions\,  Jim Rowoth (rowoth@sbcglobal.net).

SUMMARY:Carnegie Night Walk
DESCRIPTION:Meet Kasey Foley at the entry gate of Carnegie SVRA located at 18600 Corral Hollow Road in Tracy for a walk on the wild side.  This walk will be on the ALAMEDA COUNTY portion of the park but it’s a beautiful walk sometimes yielding Western Screech Owls\, Great Horned Owls\, cool scorpions and spiders\, again it’s Alameda County\,\n \n\nThings to keep in mind are there may be bugs so bring bug spray\, sun protection\, dress in layers as it may get cold later\, bring snacks and water as we may be gone for 2-3 hours\, and you may want to bring a walking stick as the footing may not be even and we will be climbing up rock/dirt trails. Be sure to bring a flashlight or headlamp because it will be dark on our way back.  Oh yeah\, don’t forget your binoculars!  Also\, remember there are rattlesnakes in this park so boots are recommended.  The only restroom facilities are at the entrance of the park and maybe at the beginning of the trail (but I’m not sure).

SUMMARY:Blue (Super) Moon Night Walk
DESCRIPTION:Meet Kasey Foley at the gate at the White Slough Wildlife Area (at the north end of the I-5 Frontage Rd west of I-5 and south of Hwy 12) or you can meet to carpool at Starbucks (corner of Thornton Rd and W Banner St at Flag City) at 5:45 pm.  The road is extremely rough to drive down and it will be dark when we leave so be sure to have a high clearance vehicle or carpool with someone who does.  Do NOT plan to park outside the gate as your car may be vandalized.  It’s even possible it can be vandalized inside the gate but we’ve been lucky so far.\n\nThings to keep in mind are there may be bugs so bring bug spray\, sun protection\, dress in layers as it may get cold later\, bring snacks and water as we will likely be gone for 2-3 hours.  The road is flat and hopefully the weeds will have been mowed down along the road.  Be sure to bring a flashlight or headlamp because it will be dark on our way back.  Oh yeah\, don’t forget your binoculars!  The only restroom facilities are at Flag City markets or gas stations.

SUMMARY:McDonald Island Birding

For directions\, it’s best to Google Tiki Lagoon Marina.  Maybe bring some water and a snack as we might bird into early afternoon. \nThose who wish to go should email David Fres at dfries.audubon@gmail.com\, as access to the island is restricted and we need to go in all together.
