California Breeding Bird Atlas Webinar
2026-06-04 19:00 - 20:00
California is home to more breeding bird species than any other state in the U.S., yet until now, there has never been a comprehensive, statewide effort to document exactly where they all are. That changes with the California Bird Atlas (CBA), a landmark five-year citizen science project running from 2026 through 2030.

Join Sammy Cowell for this Zoom webinar to learn what the CBA is, why it matters for bird conservation, and, most importantly, how you can contribute right here in the Conejo Valley. Whether you’re an experienced eBirder or just getting started, your observations can help fill critical gaps in California’s bird distribution data for decades to come.

Topics will include how the atlas works, how to use eBird breeding codes, and how to make the most of your local birding outings as meaningful contributions to the project.

Please RSVP: https://www.mobilize.us/audubon-chapters/event/961623/

Put what you learned into action! Join Sammy for a birdwalk at Satwiwa / Rancho Sierra Vista on Friday, June 5.

California Breeding Bird Atlas Bird Walk at Satwiwa / Rancho Sierra Vista
2026-06-05 08:00 - 10:30
Put your birding skills to work for science on this guided morning walk through the beautiful habitat at Satwiwa / Rancho Sierra Vista. This walk is part of the California Bird Atlas (CBA) Big Weekend, a statewide celebration of breeding birds, and every observation we make together will contribute real data to California’s first comprehensive statewide Breeding Bird Atlas.

Along the way, leader Sammy Cowell will show participants how to use eBird to log birds with breeding codes, turning an enjoyable morning outing into a meaningful contribution to bird conservation. Whether you’re new to eBird or already a regular user, you’ll come away with the skills and confidence to atlas on your own throughout the five-year project.

Satwiwa offers a rich mix of chaparral, oak woodland, and riparian habitat, prime breeding territory for many of our local species. Come ready to look, listen, and learn!

Birds and Baseball: Elysian Park & Dodger Stadium
2026-06-21 08:30 - 16:00
Let’s be honest: this one’s mostly an excuse to catch a Dodger game. But since Elysian Park wraps right around Dodger Stadium, we figured we might as well do some birding first!

Join Sammy Cowell for a Big Sit at Elysian Park before the first pitch, 8:30 am – 10:30 am. The park is one of the oldest in LA and a surprisingly good urban birding spot, a nice way to warm up before settling into your seat for the 1 PM game against the Baltimore Orioles. (Yes, we’re aware of the irony of birders rooting against the Orioles. We’ll work through it.)

Tickets: Everyone is responsible for purchasing their own ticket to the game, but if we get a group of 15 or more, we can unlock group discount pricing, so spread the word! If there’s enough interest, we will coordinate the group ticket purchase. Express your interest when you RSVP so we can gauge numbers.

Please RSVP: https://www.mobilize.us/audubon-chapters/event/961640/

Location: Elysian Park – Academy Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90012
