Arcata Bottoms Birding Trip
Join Ken Burton for a half-day exploration of the Arcata Bottoms. The southern Arcata Bottoms are replete with excellent birding sites and we’ll search the area for Greater White-fronted Goose, Say's Phoebe, and other species.
This will be primarily a driving trip, with little walking. Meet Ken (shrikethree AT gmail.com) at 8:30 at Pacific Union Elementary School, and please be prepared and willing to carpool.

To Southern California, Brazil, and Back: First GPS Tracking
of Oregon Vesper Sparrow
and Western Purple Martin Migration
The Klamath Bird Observatory (KBO), along with partners at USFS, USGS, Cape Arago Audubon, and Avifauna Northwest, is using Archival, lightweight GPS tags to track the migratory routes and overwintering locations of both Oregon Vesper Sparrow and Western Purple Martin, two imperiled subspecies unique to the Pacific Northwest.
In this talk, Sarah Rockwell shared photos and maps from this research, and gave a peek into the amazing window we now have into the incredible voyages these birds undertake.
More details on the program and Sarah's experience available here..
