Natural History Wanderings

from Golden Gate Bird Alliance

Thursday May 23 at 7pm Tamalpais Room at The David Brower Center (2150 Allston Way, Berkeley CA) and online via Zoom
On-island and at-sea perspectives will show how changes in the Bering Sea affect its birds, from St. George’s 1,000 foot tall cliffs where 75% of the world’s Red-legged Kittiwakes nest, to the new range extension 500 miles north of the previous one, an indication of how animals are moving north into the Chukchi Sea.  Join us in-person for what will be a unique evening of Alaska birding at its best. Our Speakers — Mark Rauzon & Jonah Benningfield
