SUMMARY:Beginning Birding Hike
DESCRIPTION:  \nOur premier avian acrobats are coming to town in February\, and we are so excited to welcome them back from their tropical wintering grounds in Central America. Tree swallows offer a colorful aerial show with their iridescent azure backs glimmering in the sky as they dive and swoop\, catching flying insects. These social\, tree-dwelling birds and their cousins\, violet-green swallows\, make their spring nests in tree cavities in forests and nesting boxes in suburban backyards.  \nDuring this month’s excursion\, we will look for these and other birds. We will review the four keys to identifying birds in the field\, and learn about tools such as checklists\, field guides\, 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\, February 11 \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: Tree swallow by Lorri Howski/Macaulay Library

SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this month’s naturalist book club as we discuss David Baron’s book\, The Beast in the Garden. While highlighting real events that occurred in Boulder\, Colorado\, Baron weaves a much larger narrative of coexistence\, conflict\, and fatal outcomes between mountain lions and humans throughout America’s complicated history in this thrilling book.  \n  \nFrom W.W. Norton\, Publisher: \n“When residents of Boulder\, Colorado\, suddenly began to see mountain lions in their backyards\, it became clear that the cats had returned after decades of bounty hunting had driven them far from human settlement. In a riveting environmental tale that has received huge national attention\, journalist David Baron traces the history of the mountain lion and chronicles one town’s tragic effort to coexist with its new neighbors. As thought-provoking as it is harrowing\, The Beast in the Garden is a tale of nature corrupted\, the clash between civilization and wildness\, and the artificiality of the modern American landscape. It is\, ultimately\, a book about the future of our nation\, where suburban sprawl and wildlife-protection laws are pushing people and wild animals into uncomfortable\, sometimes deadly proximity.” \n  \nDate: Sunday\, February 26\, 2023 \nTime: 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. \nVenue: Online meeting details will be mailed to registrants. \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.
