SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:During this month’s book club meeting\, we will discussThe Death and Life of Monterey Bay by marine biologists Stephen R. Palumbi and Carolyn Sotka. This book highlights one of California’s greatest achievements in restoration ecology. \nFrom the publisher’s website:\n“The Death and Life of Monterey Bay begins in the eighteenth century when Spanish and French explorers encountered a rocky shoreline brimming with life—raucous sea birds\, abundant sea otters\, barking sea lions\, halibut the size of wagon wheels\, waters thick with whales. A century and a half later\, many of the sea creatures had disappeared\, replaced by sardine canneries that sickened residents with their stench but kept the money flowing. When the fish ran out and the climate turned\, the factories emptied\, and the community crumbled. But today\, both Monterey’s economy and wildlife are resplendent. How did it happen? The answer is deceptively simple: through the extraordinary acts of ordinary people. The Death and Life of Monterey Bay is the biography of a place\, but also of the residents who reclaimed it…“ \nSpace is limited; registration is required. Cancellations notified via email. \nDate: Sunday\, May 25\nTime: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m.\nLocation: online meeting; details emailed with registration confirmation\nCost: free to FOCC members; $5 donation appreciated for non-members\nAges: 12 and up \n  \nRESERVE NOW

SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Universe Within by Neil Shubin\n\nDuring this month’s book club meeting\, we will discuss The Universe Within by esteemed author and biology professor\, Neil Shubin. This book explores the deep connections between the ever-changing nature of the cosmos and the evolution of the human body. \nFrom the publisher’s website: \n“In The Universe Within\, Neil Shubin reveals the connection between the evolution of the cosmos and the evolution of the human body. Just as the history of the earth is written in the rocks\, so too is the universe’s 14-billion-year history written in the human body. Starting at the smallest level\, with our very molecular composition\, Shubin explores the question of why we are the way we are\, tracing the formation of the planets\, the moon\, and the globe of Earth through the development of the organs\, cells\, and genes that make up human life.”  \n  \nSpace is limited; registration is required.

SUMMARY:Full moon hike: August’s “Sturgeon Moon”
DESCRIPTION:There’s something fishy about this month’s full moon. The name “Sturgeon Moon” may seem like a bit of a head scratcher\, but it’s a name that’s rooted in Native American lore from the East Coast. For those cultures\, this month’s moonrise marks prime time for snagging lake sturgeon in eastern lakes and rivers. \nHere on the West Coast\, we too have sturgeon. The staggeringly large white sturgeon—growing up to 20 feet long—thrives in the murky waters of San Pablo Bay\, right off China Camp. This federally endangered species is North America’s largest freshwater fish\, though it also thrives in brackish bay waters like those fronting our park. While we won’t spy any of these watery monsters on our full moon hike\, we will take in August’s luminous moonrise from a stellar vantage point overlooking the bay. \nBe sure to arrive by 7:30 p.m. (hike starts promptly at 7:45 p.m.). \nSpace is limited; registration is required. Cancellations notified via email. \nDate: Saturday\, August 9 \nTime: 7:30 p.m. – 9:45 p.m. \nLocation: China Camp Ranger Station \nDifficulty: moderate 3.5-mile round trip hike with 500-foot ascent \nCost: free to FOCC members $5 donation appreciated for non-members \nAges: 10 and older; under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult \nRESERVE NOW \n  \n

SUMMARY:Birding walk: fledglings flapping!
DESCRIPTION:While the flurry of nesting activity has wrapped up around the park\, there’s still lots of activity going on in China Camp’s forests\, meadows\, and marshlands. The hungry nestlings from spring and early summer have turned into enthusiastic fledglings\, flapping mightily (and sometimes crash-landing) as they strengthen their muscles and sharpen their flying skills. We’ll be looking for the offspring of the park’s osprey and white-tailed kite parents\, as well as ubiquitous dark-eyed juncos and spotted towhees. \nWe’ll also be on the lookout for birds that migrate out of the park for winter\, stuffing themselves to put on essential fat for their long flights to warmer southern climes. \nDate: Saturday\, August 16 \nTime: 8 a.m. – 10 a.m. \nLocation: Turtle Back Trail trailhead \nDifficulty: easy ½-mile walk \nCost: free to FOCC members; $5 donation appreciated for non-members \nAges: 10 and older; under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult \nRESERVE NOW \n
