SUMMARY:July Birding Hike
DESCRIPTION:In the summer\, when many bird species are wrapping up nesting in China Camp\, warbling vireos are just starting to raise their young here. A great place to look for them is in the tall trees surrounding Miwok Meadows. With a little practice\, you can identify these beautiful seasonal visitors.  \nFirst\, listen for the vireo’s rapid\, undulating call. Next\, scan the canopy. Warbling vireos have a  gray-olive upper body\, creamy belly and throat\, and a black stripe bounded by white stripes crossing the eye. \nTo up your chances of spotting vireos and other summer birds at China Camp\, join a morning stroll with naturalist Jerry Coe. Learn how to identify birds by their shape\, flight patterns\, calls\, and habitat. Also learn how to use binoculars and bird guides as we search for other species\, including violet-green and barn swallows\, warblers\, white-tailed kites\, and acorn woodpeckers.   \nJerry Coe 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 24 \nTime: 8 a.m. – 10 a.m. \nLocation: Details emailed to you when you register.  \nWalking difficulty: Easy; 1.5 miles  \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nSpace is limited; reservations required.  \nFree (donations appreciated). \nCancellations notified via email. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Miwok History Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we walk through Back Ranch Meadows and learn how pre-colonial Coast Miwok people harvested food throughout China Camp.  \nSurrounded by the diverse and lush habitats in their homeland here\, Miwok people enjoyed an abundance of animal protein. They harvested local fish and shellfish\, and used net traps in the marshes to catch geese\, ducks\, and other shorebirds. Miwok were also known for their long-standing tradition as falconers\, training hawks to catch rabbits and quail.   \nJoin naturalist Jerry Coe as he discusses the history of the Coast Miwok people and how they survived and thrived in the area now known as China Camp. Coast Miwok people still live in the Bay Area today\, with the largest group at Graton Rancheria in Sonoma County. For more information about California’s indigenous history\, visit the California Native American Heritage Commission website. \n  \nDate: Sunday\, July 25 \nTime: 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. \nLocation: Details emailed to you when you register.  \nWalking difficulty: Easy; 1.5 miles \n  \nREGISTER HERE \nSpace is limited; reservations required. \nFree (donations appreciated). \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Online:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:BUZZ: THE NATURE AND NECESSITY OF BEES \nBY THOR HANSEN \n\nJoin our monthly book club as we discuss this vitally important book from the award-winning author of The Triumph of Seeds and Feathers. In his book\, Thor Hansen imparts a natural and cultural history of the insect lineage that includes honeybees\, one of the world’s most vital keystone species. \n  \nExcerpt from Goodreads.com: \n“ Bees are like oxygen: ubiquitous\, essential\, and\, for the most part\, unseen. While we might overlook them\, they lie at the heart of relationships that bind the human and natural worlds. In Buzz\, the beloved Thor Hanson takes us on a journey that begins 125 million years ago\, when a wasp first dared to feed pollen to its young. From honeybees and bumbles to lesser-known diggers\, miners\, leafcutters\, and masons\, bees have long been central to our harvests\, our mythologies\, and our very existence. They’ve given us sweetness and light\, the beauty of flowers\, and as much as a third of the foodstuffs we eat. And\, alarmingly\, they are at risk of disappearing. As informative and enchanting as the waggle dance of a honeybee\, Buzz shows us why all bees are wonders to celebrate and protect. Read this book and you’ll never overlook them again.” \n  \nDate: Sunday\, July 25 \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? Email programs(at)friendsofchinacamp.org or call (415) 456-0766.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Native Bees of the Bay Area
DESCRIPTION:For this month’s online Village Talk\, we will discuss one of our most critically important insects: bees. Join naturalist Harold Hirsch as he discusses the biology\, evolutionary history\, and ecological function of wild native bees of the San Francisco Bay Area.  \nFor millions of years\, bees have followed a close symbiotic coevolution with the clade angiosperms—the fancier term for flowering plants. About 135 million years ago\, most plants reproduced by wind-borne pollen\, with only 0.1% of the particles actually reaching the female flower and the rest going to waste (do you think dinosaurs had allergies?). \nA great change occurred as flying insects with a taste for pollen unintentionally began to pollinate flowers\, flitting from blossom to blossom as they fed. Thus began\, as noted in an article in Scientific American\,  “the longest marketing campaign in history\,” where the morphology of flowers changed to become more noticeable and desirable to these roaming pollinators. Of these insects\, bees went on to become the most highly specialized group to reap nutrient-rich nectar and pollen.  \nJoin us for this informative online lecture via Zoom.  \nDate: Saturday\, July 31 \nTime: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. \nVenue: Online meeting via Zoom. Register for details. \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nSpace limited; reservations required. \nFree (donations appreciated). \nCancellations notified via email. \nQuestions?
