SUMMARY:August Birding Walk
DESCRIPTION:Attention birdbrains! Allow us to introduce two year-round natives in our park that we hope to see during our August birding hike: the brown creeper and the white-breasted nuthatch. Both hop vertically along tree trunks in search of tasty insect morsels hidden among the bark. Creepers are tiny with curved beaks and beautiful feathers striped with brown\, black\, and tan. White-breasted nuthatches have a blue-gray back and a bright white belly. Look for these species on tree trunks and large branches in Miwok Meadows and in Back Ranch Meadows Campground.  \nOn this month’s birding walk\, we’ll hone in on our observation skills and try to spot these and other forest-dwelling songbirds. Naturalist Jerry Coe will show us how to identify birds by shape\, flight patterns\, calls\, and habitat. Also\, we will learn how to effectively use binoculars and bird guides.  \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\, August 21 \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 this month for an informative walk through Back Ranch Meadows as we learn how pre-colonial Coast Miwok people used controlled burns to benefit their community. Wildfires started by lightning are a natural part of our region’s oak woodland forest ecology. But Miwok people intentionally set periodic\, slow-burning fires to clear deadfall and improve grassland habitat. Grasslands attract game animals like deer\, and produce wildflowers like clarkia and suncup\, the seeds of which would be collected and ground into edible pinole. These controlled fires also reduced the overall fuel load in the forest\, preventing dangerous\, rapid-spreading crown fires. \nJoin naturalist Jerry Coe as he discusses  more about 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\, August 22 \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?

When the legend becomes fact\, print the legend.’ This indelible quote from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance applies especially well to California\, where legend has so thoroughly become fact that it is visible in everyday landscapes. Our foremost historian of the West\, Richard White\, never content to ‘print the legend\,’ collaborates here with his son\, a talented photographer\, in excavating the layers of legend built into California’s landscapes. Together they expose the bedrock of the past\, and the history they uncover is astonishing…”\n \n  \nDate: Sunday\, August 29 \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?
