SUMMARY:June Birding Hike
DESCRIPTION:Up in the sky! It’s a bird! No\, it’s a plane! No\, it’s Superma– no wait\, it’s definitely a bird. A Western bluebird! Catch this beauty and its aerial acrobatics on this month’s birding hike at China Camp. These year-round insect-eaters change color during their summer nesting season\, transitioning from a muted gray-blue to vibrant royal blue. \nOn this month’s guided walk\, join naturalist Jerry Coe as we look for these beautiful birds and other summer residents in China Camp’s oak woodland\, grassland\, and marshland habitats.  \nJerry will lead a discussion about how different bird species exhibit specialized adaptations to particular habitats. He’ll also show us how to identify birds by overall shape\, overall color\, behavior\, habitat\, and songs\, and will offer tips on how to effectively use binoculars and bird guides.  \nJerry has over eight years of intensive training in ornithological field identification. He spent 15 years as a volunteer in Nevada’s Great Basin National Park\, using breeding bird activities to assess the health of habitats. Jerry has also guided adventure travel expeditions all over the world.  \n  \nDate: Saturday\, June 25 \nTime: 8 a.m. – 10 a.m. \nLocation: Turtle Back Trailhead \nWalking difficulty: Easy; 1½ miles  \n  \nREGISTER HERE\n  \nSpace is limited; reservations required.  \nFree (donations appreciated). \nCancellations notified via email. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us to discuss Laura Alice Watt’s 2016 book\, The Paradox of Preservation: Wilderness and Working Landscapes at Point Reyes National Seashore. In her well-researched book\, Watt discusses how the National Park Service has historically managed Point Reyes National Seashore to balance shifting and sometimes conflicting interests\, including habitat conservation\, agricultural protection\, and cultural preservation.  \n  \nExcerpt from Researchgate.net:  \n“Point Reyes National Seashore has a long history as a working landscape\, with dairy and beef ranching\, fishing\, and oyster farming; yet\, since 1962 it has also been managed as a National Seashore. The Paradox of Preservation chronicles how national ideals about what a park “ought to be” have developed over time and what happens when these ideals are implemented by the National Park Service in its efforts to preserve places that are also lived-in landscapes. \n  \n… A fascinating and deeply researched book\, The Paradox of Preservation will appeal to those studying environmental history\, conservation\, public lands\, and cultural landscape management\, or to those looking to learn more about the history of this dynamic California coastal region.”   \n  \nDate: Sunday\, June 26 \nTime: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. \nVenue: Zoom meeting (details emailed once space is reserved). \n  \nREGISTER HERE\n  \nSpace limited; reservations required. \nFree (donations appreciated). \nCancellations notified via email. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Summer Birding Hike
DESCRIPTION:  \nMourning dove by Nancy Christensen/Macaulay Library\nFrom backyards to woodlands to across the continent\, chances are that you’ll hear the soothing coo cooing of mourning doves. These year-round residents at China Camp can be identified by their gray-brownish backs and creamy light ochre to pinkish chest with highlights of iridescent pink and purple. The slender pointed tail distinguishes it from the non-native Eurasian collared dove\, also found in Marin County.  \nJoin naturalist Jerry Coe\, as we take a relaxing hike through an oak woodland in search of these and other birds. Jerry will show us how to identify birds by overall shape and size\, overall color\, behavior\, and habitat. He’ll also share tips on how to effectively use binoculars and bird guides. Jerry has over eight years of intensive training in ornithological field identification. He spent 15 years as a volunteer in Nevada’s Great Basin National Park\, using bird activities to assess the health of habitats. Jerry has also guided outdoor expeditions all over the world.  \n  \nDate: Saturday\, July 23 \nTime: 8 a.m. – 10 a.m. \nLocation: Turtle Back Trailhead \nWalking difficulty: Easy; 1½ miles  \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nSpace is limited; reservations required.  \nFree (donations appreciated). \nCancellations notified via email. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us to discuss Richard Preston’s novel\, The Wild Trees: A Story of Passion and Daring. Read this fascinating fictional tale about the northwest’s beloved coast redwood through the eyes of a team of botanists\, then join our lively discussion. \nExcerpt from Powells.com:  \n“Hidden away in foggy\, uncharted rainforest valleys in Northern California are the largest and tallest organisms the world has ever sustained\, the coast redwood trees\, Sequoia sempervirens. Ninety-six percent of the ancient redwood forests have been destroyed by logging\, but the untouched fragments that remain are among the great wonders of nature. The biggest redwoods have trunks up to thirty feet wide and can rise more than thirty-five stories above the ground\, forming cathedral-like structures in the air. Until recently\, redwoods were thought to be virtually impossible to ascend\, and the canopy at the tops of these majestic trees was undiscovered. In The Wild Trees\, Richard Preston unfolds the spellbinding story of Steve Sillett\, Marie Antoine\, and the tiny group of daring botanists and amateur naturalists that found a lost world above California\, a world that is dangerous\, hauntingly beautiful\, and unexplored.” \nDate: Sunday\, July 31 \nTime: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. \nVenue: Zoom meeting (details emailed once space is reserved). \nREGISTER HERE \nSpace is limited; reservations required. \nFree (donations appreciated). \nCancellations notified via email. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Village Talk: Archeology of Indigenous Refuge and Recourse 
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nFrom the late 1700s to the late 1800s\, the Spanish missions and other colonial projects established in central California compromised Indigenous cultures and identities\, dispossessed Indigenous peoples of their traditional lands\, destroyed natural resources\, and hastened the population decline of Native societies.  \nJoin Dr.Tsim D. Schneider\, as he discusses these and other findings from his recently released book\, The Archaeology of Indigenous Refuge of Recourse: Coast Miwok Resilience and Indigenous Hinterlands in Colonial California (University of Arizona Press\, 2021). Dr. Schneider\, an associate professor of anthropology at University of California\, Santa Cruz\, will share how Indigenous Coast Miwok people survived despite these circumstances. He will shed light on how archaeological findings at China Camp State Park and Tomales Bay bear witness to past injustices to the region’s tribes\, and help reveal critical instances of Coast Miwok’s resiliency and success in developing refuge and rebuilding their society. \n Dr. Schneider is the author of three books and has done extensive archaeological research on Indigenous populations in China Camp State Park and elsewhere in Marin County. \n  \nDate: Saturday\, August 13 \nTime: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. \nVenue: China Camp Village Museum \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nSpace is limited; reservations required. \nFree (donations appreciated). \nCancellations notified via email. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this month’s book club as we discuss Keith Heyer Meldahl’s book\, Rough-Hewn Land: A Geologic Journey from California to the Rocky Mountains. \n  \nExcerpt from ucpress.edu:  \n“”Unfold a map of North America\,” Keith Heyer Meldahl writes\, “and the first thing to grab your eye is the bold shift between the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains.” In this absorbing book\, Meldahl takes readers on a 1000-mile-long field trip back through more than 100 million years of deep time to explore America’s most spectacular and scientifically intriguing landscapes. He places us on the outcrops\, rock hammer in hand\, to examine the evidence for how these rough-hewn lands came to be. We see California and its gold assembled from pieces of old ocean floor and the relentless movements of the Earth’s tectonic plates. We witness the birth of the Rockies. And we investigate the violent earthquakes that continue to shape the region today. Into the West’s geologic story\, Meldahl also weaves its human history. As we follow the adventures of John C. Frémont\, Mark Twain\, the Donner party\, and other historic characters\, we learn how geologic forces have shaped human experience in the past and how they direct the fate of the West today.” \n  \nDate: Sunday\, September 25 \nTime: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. \nVenue: Google Meet meeting (details emailed once space is reserved). \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nSpace is limited; reservations required. \nFree (donations appreciated). \nCancellations notified via email.

SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this month’s book club as we discuss Rob Dunn’s new book\, The Natural History of the Future. Dunn is a biologist\, writer\, and university professor in ecology. \nExcerpt from goodreads.com:  \n“A leading ecologist argues that if humankind is to survive on a fragile planet\, we must understand and obey its iron laws \nOur species has amassed unprecedented knowledge of nature\, which we have tried to use to seize control of life and bend the planet to our will. In  A Natural History of the Future\, biologist Rob Dunn argues that such efforts are futile. We may see ourselves as life’s overlords\, but we are instead at its mercy. In the evolution of antibiotic resistance\, the power of natural selection to create biodiversity\, and even the surprising life of the London Underground\, Dunn finds laws of life that no human activity can annul. When we create artificial islands of crops\, dump toxic waste\, or build communities\, we provide new materials for old laws to shape. Life’s future flourishing is not in question. Ours is. \nAs ambitious as Edward Wilson’s Sociobiology and as timely as Elizabeth Kolbert’s The Sixth Extinction\, A Natural History of the Future sets a new standard for understanding the diversity and destiny of life itself.” \n  \nDate: Sunday\, October 30 \nTime: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. \nVenue: Zoom Meeting \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nSpace is limited; reservations required. \nFree (donations appreciated). \nCancellations notified via email. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Junior Ranger Program
DESCRIPTION:  \nOctober is a spooky time – neighbors adorn their houses with scary decorations\, like giant spiderwebs\, fake spiders\, and bats\, to the delight of eager trick-or-treaters on Halloween night. At China Camp\, we don’t have spooky decorations\, but rather\, our park is home to real-life spiders and bats! Check out this month’s Junior Ranger Program as we explore our park’s resident creatures– like the “Marge Simpson” orb spider (Argiope aurantia\, pictured to the left)\, and big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus). We will discover their unique “super powers” which support ecological balance in our environment. Using our scientific tools you will discover the importance of local habitat to these fascinating creatures. \n  \nThis program will be guided by naturalists/educators Suzanne Mirviss and Paula O’Connell\, and is best suited for ages 7 through 9. Children must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult. \n  \nDate: Sunday\, October 8 \nTime: 10 a.m. – noon \nLocation: China Camp Village Beach \nAges: ages 7 to 9  \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nSpace is limited; reservations required. \nFree (donations appreciated). \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Autumn Birding Hike
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nThe bay area has some special guests that have arrived early in their winter migration: golden-crowned sparrows and white-crowned sparrows. Normally arriving during the third week of October\, these large sparrows travel from their breeding sites in northern US and Canada. The golden-crowned sparrow has a cap with a lemon-yellow stripe surrounded by black stripes\, and the white-crowned sparrow has a black and white-striped cap.  \nOctober is a great time to see these large sparrows before they lose their bright plumage later in the winter. The best place to spot these seed-eating birds is roosting in dense thickets in Miwok Meadows. \nFor this month’s birding hike Jerry Coe will show you how to identify these and other common birds in the field and how to use essential tools like binoculars and bird guides. You will also learn how to identify birds by observing flight patterns\, noting body shapes and sizes\, hearing songs\, and watching behaviors. \nJerry Coe is a naturalist with over eight years of intensive training in ornithological field identification. He spent 15 years as a volunteer in Nevada’s Great Basin National Park\, using bird activities to assess the health of habitats. Jerry has also guided outdoor expeditions all over the world. \n  \nDate: Saturday\, October 15 \nTime: 8 a.m. – 10 a.m. \nLocation: Turtle Back Trailhead \nWalking difficulty: Easy; 1½ miles  \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nSpace is limited; reservations required.  \nFree (donations appreciated). \nCancellations notified via email. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Autumn Birding Hike
DESCRIPTION:This month’s birding hike will be a hoot. Pun intended. We will discuss the owl species that live at China Camp\, and their remarkable binocular eyesight and asymmetric ears. Both of these special adaptations contribute to an owl’s ability to rapidly triangulate the location of prey in low light and absolute darkness. Though we are unlikely to see any of these nocturnal creatures on our morning walk through Miwok Meadows\, by the end of the hike participants will be given helpful tips to increase the likelihood of viewing and identifying these fascinating nocturnal birds on their own time. \n We will review the four keys to identifying birds in the field learn about tools such as checklists\, atlases\, binoculars\, and telescopes. Participants will also learn how to identify birds by observing flight patterns\, noting body shapes and sizes\, hearing songs\, and watching behaviors. \n  \nDate: Saturday\, November 12 \nTime: 8 a.m. – 10 a.m. \nLocation: Turtle Back Trailhead \nWalking difficulty: Easy; 1½ miles  \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nSpace is limited; reservations required.  \nFree (donations appreciated). \nCancellations notified via email. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Junior Ranger Program
DESCRIPTION:Hoo’s coming to dinner? Lets do some detective work to find out about the owl species at China Camp and what… or who… are their favorite foods. During this month’s program\, Junior Rangers will have the opportunity to explore what these nocturnal creatures eat by dissecting *sterilized* owl pellets. Owls dont have any teeth\, so when they eat a creature\, they swallow it whole: fur\, bones\, everything. Because of this\, undigested fur and bones get spit back out into little pellets\, known as “owl pellets”. Join the fun as we use our scientific exploration tools to ID the remains to see what was in the owl’s dinner.  \n  \nDate: Sunday\, November 12 \nTime: 10 a.m. – noon \nLocation: China Camp Village Beach \nAges: ages 7 to 9  \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nSpace is limited; reservations required. \nFree (donations appreciated). \nQuestions?

DESCRIPTION:Join us for this month’s book club as we discuss Tsim Schneiders book\, The Archaeology of Refuge and Recourse. Schneider is a professor of archaeology at University of California\, Santa Cruz and a tribal member of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. \nExcerpt from uapress.arizona.edu: \n“The Archaeology of Refuge and Recourse explores the dual practices of refuge and recourse among Indigenous peoples of California. From the eighteenth to the twentieth century\, Indigenous Coast Miwok communities in California persisted throughout multiple waves of colonial intrusion. But to what ends? \nApplying theories of place and landscape\, social memory\, and mobility to the analysis of six archaeological sites\, Tsim D. Schneider argues for a new direction in the archaeology of colonialism. This book offers insight about the critical and ongoing relationships Indigenous people maintained to their homelands despite colonization and systematic destruction of their cultural sites…” \n  \n  \nDate: Sunday\, November 27 \nTime: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. \nVenue: Zoom Meeting \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nSpace is limited; reservations required. \nFree (donations appreciated). \nCancellations notified via email. \nQuestions?
