SUMMARY:Birds of the California Delta by Aaron Haiman
DESCRIPTION:The Delta is a place of connections where rivers meet each other\, where freshwater meets salt water\, where ocean fish come inland\, where birds from the north come for the winter\, and where birds from the south come to breed. The Delta is also a place of complexity. How water interacts with land and forms soil is a complex process. How birds and fish find and utilize habitats are complex sets of instincts and signals. How humans use water and land contains a nest of complex pressures. All these connections and complexities play out on a daily basis throughout the Delta. Exploring the many wetlands\, grasslands\, and sloughs of the Delta is always a fascinating and beautiful adventure into this meeting ground of complexity. And these adventures have led to a book that Aaron has written titled: Birds of the California Delta. This book introduces the reader to the Delta and to a scattering of the birds that live and visit it. Aaron will be sharing this book\, and his own birding experiences and knowledge.\n\nAaron Haiman began birding when he was 6 years old\, and his passion for birds has remained strong ever since. Following this passion has included volunteering for a variety of bird research organizations\, undergraduate and graduate degrees studying birds\, and working for the State of California as a Senior Environmental Scientist on ecosystem restoration. Aaron’s love of birds also takes him out birding on his own and with friends\, old and new\, and onto social media to share information and love of birds\, nature\, and science under the handle “A Birding Naturalist”.

SUMMARY:Climate Change and the Birds of the Zuni Mountains Region of New Mexico: Past and Present\, and Maybe Future
DESCRIPTION:The Zuni region enjoys a history of ornithological study that must be the envy of every other place in interior western North America.  The specimens collected in the second half of the 19th Century and the early years of the 20th Century are mostly still extant and form the basis of assessing how the regional avifauna has changed and is changing across time.  Change has been very rapid since the turn of the new millennium.\n\n\nBorn and reared in Vallejo\, John Trochet has lived in Sacramento for the last 44 years.  He briefly practiced medicine before returning to school in ornithology\, and retired from the UC Davis Museum of Wildlife and Fish Biology in 2017.  He remains a research affiliate of the museum.  Along with following the birds of the Cosumnes River Preserve and being a team member of Project Principalis in Louisiana\, the 45+ year study of the birds of the Zuni Mountains Region is one of three long-term projects that keeps him busy in retirement.

SUMMARY:Rainforest in Flight: Birds of the Ecuadorian Amazon
DESCRIPTION:Presenter:  Jim Gain \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the late fall of 2025\, I joined five other adventurers for a descent into the Amazon Basin. This Zoom Program centers on our time at the Sani Bird Lodge. Nestled deep within the Ecuadorian Amazon near the broad\, meandering Napo River\, Sani Bird Lodge sits at the heart of one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth\, surrounded by pristine rainforest that forms a living bridge between Yasuní National Park to the south and the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve to the north. Together\, these protected areas create a vast ecological corridor—an unbroken sweep of forest where life thrives in staggering abundance. The lodge’s grounds are alive with over 550 bird species.\n\nJim Gain is a biologist by training\, an educator for more than 35 years\, and a lifelong naturalist whose curiosity has fueled decades of work in citizen science and conservation. His involvement with the Stanislaus Audubon Society spans over three decades in nearly every leadership role\, including past president\, complemented by service on the Central Valley Bird Club board and years with the Modesto Camera Club. He remains deeply engaged in the birding community as a Webmaster\, eBird Reviewer\, and member of the Stanislaus County and San Joaquin County Bird Records Committee. Blending photography with field observation has become one of his greatest joys\, and his images have been featured on platforms such as Audubon Field Guide\, Birds of the World\, All About Birds\, and the Merlin Bird ID App—reflecting a lifelong commitment to celebrating and sharing the beauty of the natural world.
