SUMMARY:Monthly Program - Free-Flying LA Parrot Project
DESCRIPTION:Free-Flying Los Angeles Parrot Project \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNon-native parrots have become a very present and boisterous element of the urban ecosystems throughout Southern California. Now through the Free-Flying Los Angeles Parrot Project (FLAPP) on iNaturalist\, we created a dataset focused on two of the more prominent species in Southern California\, the Red-crowned and Lilac-crowned Parrots. After being introduced through the illegal pet trade\, these sister-species have established their populations and even created mixed-species flocks that would not be possible otherwise. Our research has focused on distinguishing the two species based on morphological features\, comparison of the environmental conditions between their respective native ranges and their introduced range\, and we are now shifting to understanding how their genetic makeup has been affected. \n\n\n\nJoin Brenda Ramirez to learn how you can help contribute to our research from your own neighborhoods! Become a member of FLAPP on iNaturalist: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/free-flying-los-angeles-parrot-project. \n\n\n\nIf you’re interested in joining us for dinner before the meeting\, text Chrystal at (805) 261-9885 and meet us at WoodRanch Camarillo at Daily and Lantana by 5:00 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us at the Western Foundation\n\n\n\nWe have the privilege of holding our meetings at the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology (also known as the Bird Museum)\, 439 Calle San Pablo in Camarillo.

(Also check out wfvz.org) \n\n\n\nWestern Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology collections\n\n\n\nCVAS’s meetings will be hybrid\, simultaneously live at WFVZ (recommended) and on Zoom. The link to join on Zoom is https://zoom.us/j/6155249106. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlso\n\n\n\nAnyone interested in joining us for dinner at Wood Ranch Camarillo before the meeting\, let Chrystal know you’re coming (805-261-9885)\, then meet at the restaurant by 5:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Pipits\, Plovers and Pipers of the Oxnard Plain
DESCRIPTION:Meet at 8 am at the end of Arnold Road at the parking area. We can carpool back out to the fields depending on attendance to ensure we don’t crowd the side of the road. We’ll spend about an hour on the Arnold Road sod fields and then caravan over to Casper Road where these birds are also common. Parking is virtually non-existant on Casper\, so maximum carpooling is encouraged when we travel to Casper.  \n\n\n\nWe’ll look for pipits\, plovers\, sandpipers\, raptors and who knows what else. Bring a scope if you have one. We can discuss as a group when we’re there to come up with a game plan.  \n\n\n\nRSVP at this link on Google Forms for all our field tripsLeader – John Mueller (818) 625-9584 for info

SUMMARY:Program: Waterfowl of Mono Lake
DESCRIPTION:Mono Lake is well-known for its breeding population of California Gulls\, and for the large numbers of Eared Grebes and phalaropes that use the lake in fall migration. Tucked away in the scattered wetlands\, ponds and creeks around the shores of Mono Lake\, there is also an established breeding waterfowl population. Deborah House has monitored the waterfowl at Mono Lake for over two decades\, and she will take you on a virtual tour of the habitats that support waterfowl at Mono Lake\, discussing the dynamic nature of these areas\, how these systems have varied with lake level\, and how breeding waterfowl have responded to these fluctuations.  \n\n\n\nDeborah is a semi-retired community ecologist who has conducted several long-term bird monitoring programs in the eastern Sierra region of California. She has spent her summers walking the incredibly beautiful and dynamic shoreline of Mono Lake\, keeping track of the breeding waterfowl and their habitats as part of the restoration program for the lake.

SUMMARY:BIRD OUR PARKS
DESCRIPTION:This will be a social birding experiment where we as Ventura County residents will bird our neighborhood parks and see what kind of birds we can find. Birds commonly visit our parks so we will use social media (such as our new “Conejo Valley Audubon Society (CVAS)”  WhatsApp community group from your phone) to count birds and discuss what we’re seeing. Every city in Ventura County has multiple parks\, so feel free to visit a couple and post your findings on our eBird Trip Report. If you would like to work together as a team\, we will have a sign-up form closer to the date.

SUMMARY:December Program-Patch Birding in Long Beach
DESCRIPTION:Patch Birding the Colorado Lagoon in Long Beach \n\n\n\nPatch-birding will lead to better understanding of how our local birds use different parts of the landscape from year to year and season to season\, which may be more useful than knowing how often birds stray far off-course. \n\n\n\nOver the course of 8 years\, Robb Hamilton has birded about 800 times at Colorado Lagoon\, a cozy little body of water in Long Beach\, recording 228 species out of the 246 that have been reported on eBird\, and photographing the different species. \n\n\n\nBy achieving good coverage of the lagoon throughout the year\, and across multiple years\, Robb has been able to capture inter-annual variability\, and has established the baseline conditions ahead of a major change in the configuration of the lagoon — the opening of a large channel between Alamitos Bay and the lagoon\, which will greatly increase the tidal flushing of the lagoon and increase the area of native habitat available to the birds. Ultimately\, Robb intends to collect several years of post-channel data and compare it with the extensive pre-channel data already collected. \n\n\n\nBorn in Santa Barbara\, Robb Hamilton has been birding since he was 15. He’s been an independent biological consultant since 1994.

SUMMARY:Conejo Community Park & Botanical Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Meet in the botanical gardens parking area off Gainsborough Road. There are toilets there and we’ll begin our walk promptly at 8am. The botanical gardens are adjacent to the large open Community Park which offers several opportunities for a variety of birds this time of year. There may be wintering warblers. We’ll look for pipits on the grass; bluebirds in the trees; sparrows\, nuthatches and kinglets in the gardens\, and hawks in the sky. \n\n\n\nThis will be a beginner-friendly walk designed to help those new to the hobby learn how to listen\, look and identify various types of birds in our area. Check our Field Trips website for current information\, updates and a link to sign-up. The botanical garden is a bit hilly\, so wear appropriate shoes. \n\n\n\nLeader is DAVID PERSON  805-469-6806

SUMMARY:February Program-California Walnut Woodlands
DESCRIPTION:Rooted in Community: California Walnut Woodlands\n\n\n\nThe Ecological Significant to Avifuana\n\n\n\nChanges in land use following Euro-American colonization resulted in the severe reduction of the endemic Southern California black walnut (Juglans californica) and its woodland habitat. Natasha Khanna-Dang studied the availability of trees and large shrubs and feeding behavior of birds in eight patches of California walnut woodland in Los Angeles County during the breeding and nonbreeding periods of 2023. Natasha will join CVAS’s monthly meeting via Zoom to discuss the findings on the importance of these woodlands to the larger ecosystem and will discuss how ecological research can intersect with both conservation and social justice issues. \n\n\n\nNatasha Khanna-Dang works as an urban conservation biologist based out of Los Angeles\, California. They completed their Master of Science degree in Environmental Science at California State University\, Los Angeles in 2024.Natasha is also an environmental educator and believes in the importance of intersectional ecology – ecological research that intersects with issues of environmental and social justice. \n\n\n\nSEE PROGRAMS PAGE

SUMMARY:Great Backyard Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:Done annually in February\, the GBBC is a global\, four day community science event where people of all ages and skill levels help track bird populations by simply watching birds anywhere they choose for 15 minutes or more. Participants can count birds on any of the four days and submit sightings using Merlin Bird ID\, eBird Mobile\, or the eBird website\, with no separate registration required. The goal is to create a worldwide snapshot of where birds are and how they’re doing. It’s easy\, fun\, and meaningful whether you’re birding solo\, with family\, or as part of a community event. \n\n\n\nMore info at: https://www.birdcount.org/
