Saturday May 12 Early Morning Bird Walk with Dave Quady and Kay Loughman. Meet at 7 AM at Four Corners (intersection of Grizzly Peak Blvd. and Claremont Ave./Fish Ranch Rd.) to look for some of the birds that breed in Claremont Canyon. We’ll pick an area that looks interesting and search until about 11 AM for year-round resident birds as well as the neotropical migrant birds that have returned to breed. Bring binoculars if you have a pair and a field guide. (Dave will have a few pairs of binoculars to share if you don’t have any.)
For something different, meet Kay and Dave at 5 a.m. at the foot of Gelston Street to enjoy the ‘dawn chorus,’ as breeding birds break into song before the sun rises. We will stand quietly and try to identify birds by their songs until about 6:30, leaving enough time to get a quick breakfast snack before our 7 a.m. meeting at the top of the canyon.
If it’s raining on Saturday morning, we’ll try again Sunday morning, May 13, same times, same places. Please check the website for last minute updates.
