SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Full Moon Hike
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO RAIN. CHECK OUR CALENDAR FOR UPCOMING EVENTS. Your heart will fill with wonder as we gaze into the sky during November’s full moon hike. On this moderate\, 4.5-mile round-trip hike\, we will ascend to one of the best vista points in the park to view the cream-colored moon as it rises over the sparkling bay. This month’s moon is named “Beaver Moon”. Though there are no beavers in the bay area\, around this time of year beavers in other parts of the United States retire to their dens\, with food stores ready for the long winter ahead. \nAs an exciting addition\, eager sky-gazers *on their own time* have the option to view a total lunar eclipse that will occur the early morning before the hike on November 8\, from 12:02 a.m. to 5 a.m..                                              \nDate: Tuesday\, November 8 \nTime:  4:15 p.m. – 7 p.m. \nLocation: Meeting location details emailed upon reservation.  \nDifficulty: Moderate\, 4.5 miles round trip \nWhat to bring: Warm clothing\, water\, flashlight or headlamp with spare batteries. Be sure to wear appropriate shoes for hiking.  \nNote: Hike begins at 4:15 p.m. sharp\, so don’t be late or you’ll miss the fun! \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n  \nFree for FOCC members; $5 for non-members. \nSpace is limited; reservations required. \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? Email programs@friendsofchinacamp.org or call (415) 456-0766. \n  \nPhoto: Great horned owl by Gustavo Vargas | Macaulay Library

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? Email programs@friendsofchinacamp.org or call (415) 456-0766. \nCancellations notified via email. \n  \nPhoto:Barn owl by Ian Davies | Macaulay Library

SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
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?
