SUMMARY:Butterfly Count - 40th year as an Audubon Field trip
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday\, June 14\, for this exciting annual event. No experience needed and each participant receives a four-page color butterfly field guide to keep. We start at Oak Grove at 8:30 and continue through the sometimes warm day until 3 or 4 pm. We always see and learn to identify several species of these beautiful insects. We spend most of the warm afternoon in shady forests of Woodbridge Road and Lodi Lake. Plan to bring water\, lunch\, sunscreen and ahat. \nCall leader Kathy Schick (209) 612-5130 to reserve your spot (and your field guide)

SUMMARY:Mono Lake Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Leaders: Ralph Baker & John Harris \n\nWe intend to bird several locations around Mono Lake. Some possible destinations are Mono Lake County Park\, Pole Line Road\, Cottonwood Canyon Road\, Bodie\, Lundy Lakes\, Virginia Lakes Resort\, Wild Rose Canyon\, Mono Mills\, Crestview Rest Area and Lee Vining Canyon. Birds we’ll be looking for include Greater Sage Grouse\, Common Nighthawk\, Common Poorwill\, Costa’s and Calliope Hummingbird\, Williamson’s Sapsucker\, Lewis’s Woodpecker\, various flycatchers\, Plumbeous Vireo\, Pinyon Jay\, Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jay\, Black-billed Magpie\, Juniper Titmouse\, American Dipper\, Mountain Bluebird\, Gray-crowned Rosy Finch\, Cassin’s Finch\, Red Crossbill\, Pine Siskin\, Black-throated\, Sagebrush and Vesper Sparrow\, Yellow-breasted Chat and Virginia’s Warbler. And there’s always the possibility of something rare showing up.\nPlus\, John will lay out some traps to see what kind of small mammals we can catch (they will be released unharmed after we make our observations). John began his interest in Mono Lake while working as an undergraduate assistant in a study of chipmunks in 1975. He went on to study kangaroo mice on Mono Lake’s dunes while a graduate student at U.C. Davis and has studied small mammals in the Sierra Nevada\, San Joaquin antelope squirrels and Mojave ground squirrels. John retired from teaching biology at Mills College in 1983 and currently lives near Oakdale\, CA.\n\nThis will be a 2-3 day trip. We plan to arrive late Friday (if we arrive before dark we may do a little evening birding) and then meet participants at Whoa Nellie Deli\, 22 Vista Point Dr\, Lee Vining\, CA 93541\, early Saturday morning\, but anyone is welcome to join us later. We will bird all day Saturday and a big chunk of Sunday before heading home\, but\, of course\, anyone is free to head back at any time. More details will be announced as the date approaches. \nFor recommendations on accommodations check out https://www.leevining.com/lodging. \n\nFor questions or to RSVP contact Ralph at sharks_hockey_maniac@yahoo.com

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:The Evolution of the Flamingo’s Smile
DESCRIPTION:Presenter – Christopher Torres Phd\, Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Biological Sciences at the University of the Pacific \nChristopher Torres\, PhD\, Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Biological Sciences at the University of the Pacific\, will talk about “The Evolution of the Flamingo’s Smile”. Flamingos are among the most iconic birds on the planet – with their ostentatious coloration and perpetually inverted smile\, it’s easy to understand why they are featured in zoos (and front yards) the world over. Flamingos are also among the world’s most highly specialized birds\, employing an approach to filter-feeding utterly unlike anything else. As such\, flamingos provide an ideal model system for studying what drives the evolution of beak shape\, what drives birds to become increasingly specialized at the ever-increasing risk of extinction\, and how those shifts in ecology and morphology correspond to shifts in Earth history. \nBut flamingo evolutionary history remains shrouded in mystery\, being marked by enigmatic origins\, cryptic fossils\, and repeated brushes with extinction. In this talk\, Chris will share current understanding of that history\, and will tell several tales about how he and his colleagues are seeking to dispel many of those mysteries\, including: How\, after two centuries of study\, it was only relatively recently discovered that grebes are the closest living relatives of flamingos. How the understanding of what came before flamingos and grebes remains poor\, despite the existence of a nearly complete fossil documenting that exact moment in evolutionary time. How a lineage of bizarre\, prehistoric ‘straight-beaked flamingos’ managed to achieve a near-global distribution… and then vanished from the fossil record. \nHow the ancestors of modern\, ‘curved-beaked flamingos’ nearly met the same fate… before spreading back out across the globe. How California – along with the rest of North America’s West Coast – was covered in flamingos as recently as a few tens of thousands of years ago. How baby flamingos undergo one of the most unique post-hatching changes in beak morphology known among birds. And how watching those baby flamingos grow up might provide insights to the earliest stages of flamingo life.
