SUMMARY:October Birding Hike
DESCRIPTION:October is the height of fall migration\, with a staggering 70 percent of all bird species joining in a mass migration to wintering grounds around the globe. Moving southward\, often to warmer climes in Central and South America\, birds tend to follow known water sources\, like ours at China Camp. In the cover of darkness\, birds take to the skies\, with most species flying a staggering 250 to 450 miles between twilight and 4 a.m. every night. \nOn this month’s walk\, we’ll look for flocks of brown pelicans and white pelicans rising in spirals as they begin their migration. We hope to spy our family of juvenile white-tailed kites\, as well as young osprey born this spring. Bird expert Jerry Coe will share tips on using binoculars and bird guides\, and how to identify birds using habitat and other clues. Bring binoculars\, water\, wear comfortable walking shoes\, and bring layers for changeable weather. \n  \nDate: Saturday October 14\nTime: 8 a.m. – 10 a.m.\nLocation: Turtle Back Trailhead\nDifficulty: Easy\, 1.5-mile walk\nAge: 12 and up with parent or responsible adult\nCost: Free (donations appreciated) \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Autumn Seed-Seeker Hike
DESCRIPTION:With fall’s return\, we will seek (but not collect) seeds as plants prepare for winter. Join this naturalist-led hike and talk about the different strategies that plants use in producing seeds—from prickly pods to edible nuts—all geared towards increasing the odds of perpetuating the species’ success. Learn about the natural history of seeds\, and how they adapt to local conditions\, such as wildfires and drought. Dress in layers for the crisp\, cool fall weather. \n  \nSPECIAL BONUS: Come an hour early (9 a.m.) to enjoy a chance to catch this weekend’s annular eclipse. Special viewing boxes and safety glasses will be available to watch this rare “ring of fire” event—only partial in our area but still quite a spectacle\, as long as the clouds stay away. \nSpace for events is limited so sign up now. Cancellations will be notified via email. Questions? Email programs@friendsofchinacamp.org or call (415) 456-0766. \nDate: Saturday\, October 14\nTime: 10 a.m. – noon\nLocation: North end of Knight Dr. (San Rafael)\nDifficulty: Easy (2-mile loop; mostly flat)\nAge: 8 and up with parent or responsible adult\nCost: Free (donations appreciated) \nREGISTER NOW
