SUMMARY:? Bear Divide *New Date\, Sunday\, April 21st!*
DESCRIPTION:Bear Divide is a narrow pass in the San Gabriel Mountains of Los Angeles County that funnels literally thousands of birds through a tiny gap in the mountain ridge. Some dawn flights are so thick with birds that hundreds of migrants may pass by per minute.\n\nDawn flight is the best time to witness this spectacle\, so we plan to be at Bear Divide by 6 a.m. If you want to carpool\, meet at Janss Park & Ride opposite T.O. Library\, at 5 a.m. There may also be an opportunity to watch banders catch and tag migrants with mist nets.\nTrip leader: Sammy Cowell (818) 470-7098

SUMMARY:Monthly Program - May 2024
DESCRIPTION:MAY MONTHLY PROGRAM\n“Pelagic Birding off Southern California: Searching for Seabirds in the Open Ocean”\nby David Pereksta\nNazca Booby Copyright David Pereksta \n While 70 percent of the earth is covered by oceans\, the lives of the birds that inhabit those waters still hold a number of mysteries that science is only just starting to unravel. Many seabirds come ashore only to breed and then spend the majority of their lives ranging around the world’s oceans; some of which travel incredible distances during foraging trips and migratory movements. The waters offshore of southern California are one of the last birding frontiers in the state\, where an exciting mix of seabirds that are rarely if ever seen from land can be found at sea if you know when\, where\, and how to look for them. A limited number of trips\, unpredictable weather\, and challenging viewing conditions make pelagic birding trips an adventurous way to explore this frontier. Birders wishing to see these special birds must find some of the few scheduled trips each year\, get a reservation before they sell-out\, and hope that the weather and birds cooperate. \nDavid Pereksta took his first pelagic trip in 1994\, which was a major birding-life changing event. That trip was the start of David’s fascination with seabirds and since then he has spent a considerable amount of time at sea looking for them. With hundreds of days on the water in the Pacific and Atlantic\, and trips to remote breeding areas in Russia and the South Pacific\, David has immersed himself in understanding the lives of seabirds. David will show us what experiences southern California pelagic birding trips offer including the species that occur off our coast\, how the status and distribution of many species have changed recently\, where local pelagic trips go and how they operate\, and how to best schedule a trip to see the birds (and marine mammals) you are looking for. He will also share anecdotes from some of the most memorable local trips. Bring your soda crackers\, Dramamine\, and binoculars for this program that is richly illustrated with the best of the thousands of photos David has taken at sea. \nDavid Pereksta is an Avian Biologist with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management\, where he studies and analyzes the effects of offshore oil and gas\, and renewable energy development on birds off the Pacific coast and Hawaii. Prior to his position at BOEM\, Dave spent 16 years working on endangered species issues with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Throughout his career with various Federal and State agencies\, he has studied several imperiled bird species including Snowy Plovers\, Piping Plovers\, Least Terns\, Ospreys\, Northern Goshawks\, Brown Pelicans\, Spotted Owls\, and Ivory-billed Woodpeckers. An avid birder for over 45 years\, Dave has traveled throughout North America\, South America\, the American tropics\, the South Pacific\, and East Asia including leading trips to Mexico\, Belize\, Costa Rica\, Peru\, and Chile. He also organizes pelagic trips off southern California and leads trips elsewhere in the Pacific and in the Atlantic. He has seen over 2\,300 species of birds in his travels; photographing nearly 1\,800 species along the way. \nThe May program will be live at Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology. The meeting starts at 7:00 pm\, doors open at 6:30. It will also available via Zoom. The link is\, as always\, https://zoom.us/j/6155249106.

DESCRIPTION:THE CVAS ANNUAL PICNIC \nSunday\, June 2 at Los Robles Open Space \nMeet at 8:00 am for the morning bird walk\, \nthen at 11:00 for the potluck lunch. \nIt’s been twenty-three years since we first held our CVAS Annual Picnic at the Los Robles Trail area adjacent to the original Janss House in Thousand Oaks\, and the area has changed a bit. We can no longer drive right down to “our” oak tree\, the lawn is gone\, and a few new picnic tables have been added\, but “our” tree is still there as shady as ever. \nAt the south end of Moorpark Rd. turn right onto Greenmeadow Ave. and proceed approximately one mile to the parking area. Carpooling is encouraged as parking is limited. Please bring your own table service\, drinks and chairs\, and this year\, bring whatever dish you like.  🙂

SUMMARY:🦅*Bonus Field Trip* Hawkwatching at Grant Park.
DESCRIPTION:Didn’t get enough birdwatching earlier this morning at the Ventura Settling Ponds? Then\, come join us for some afternoon hawkwatching at Grant Park. During the fall migration\, raptors use hot thermals rising from the ground to easily glide hundreds of miles in a day. The topography of Grant Park is perfect for creating these thermals\, and many raptors have been found migrating along the ridge of the foothills\, including Cooper’s Hawks\, Sharp-shinned Hawks\, Peregrine Falcons\, Golden Eagles\, Broad-winged Hawks\, and our resident Turkey Vultures and Red-tails! \n\n\n\nWe will meet along Brakey Rd. between Ferro Dr. and Summit Dr. Parking is somewhat limited along this particular spot\, so additional parking is available down at Father Sierra Cross. It is about a 1/4 mile walk up to the top of the hill\, and it is moderately steep at times\, so come prepared. We will be spending the time at the top for a couple of hours\, so it might be helpful to bring a camping chair to sit on (there is also a small bench up there as well). There is no shade\, so make sure to wear a hat\, long-sleeved shirts\, and sunscreen. \n\n\n\nTrip leader: Sammy Cowell (818) 470-7098
