SUMMARY:Spring Birding Hike
DESCRIPTION:  \nPhoto: Dean Latray/Macaulay Library\nApril lies within the heart of the Bay Area’s spring bird migration. This month\, we will be on the lookout for Allen’s hummingbirds\, who are currently passing through our region on their way to nesting sites along the coast. With luck\, we may also see rufous hummingbirds bound for Oregon and further north. We will discuss why some very similar species\, such as Allen’s and rufous hummers\, are so similar that they cannot be truly identified unless they are net-captured and ID’ed “in the hand” by experts. In our wetlands and ponds\, we may spot migrating ducks\, including gadwall\, American widgeon\, cinnamon teal\, green-winged teal\, greater scaup\, bufflehead\, red-breasted merganser\, and ruddy duck\, along with various species of grebes and other birds.  \nNaturalist Jerry Coe will show us how to identify birds by shape\, flight patterns\, calls\, and habitat. In addition\, he’ll offer 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\, April 16 \nTime: 8 a.m. – 10 a.m. \nLocation: Miwok Meadows Entrance Gate \nWalking difficulty: Easy; 1½ miles  \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nSpace is limited; reservations required.  \nFree (donations appreciated). \nCancellations notified via email. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Online: Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this month’s Naturalist Book Club as we discuss the Pulitzer Prize-winning fictional book\, Anthill: A Novel by the late biologist and author\, E.O. Wilson. The story offers a creative apologue of Wilson’s theory of biophilia\, which suggests that humans desire and seek out deep connections with other species and the natural world. \nExcerpt from Goodreads.com:  \n“[T]he epic story of Anthill\, part thriller\, part parable\, which follows the adventures of Raff\, a modern-day Huck Finn\, whose improbable love of the ‘strange\, beautiful\, and elegant’ world of ants ends up transforming his own life and the citizens of Nokobee County. . . \nAn extraordinary undergraduate at Florida State University\, Raff\, despite his scientific promise\, opts for Harvard Law School\, believing that the environmental fight must be waged in the courtroom as well as the lab. Returning home a legal gladiator\, Raff grows increasingly alarmed by the rapacious condo developers who are eager to pave and subdivide the wildlands surrounding the Chicobee River. . . \n. . .Anthill will not only transfix readers with its stunning twists and startling revelations but will also provide readers with new insights into the meaning of survival in our rapidly changing world.”   \nEnjoy Wilson’s award-winning novel\, then join April’s book club meeting to discuss this heartening tale. \n  \nDate: Sunday\, April 24\, 2022 \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?
