This site is for folks interested in learning about Bay Area Birds. Links above will give you details of Birding classes at Albany Adult School, Oakland Museum and other Bay Area sites. You can find information about selected field trips through Golden Gate Audubon, and Special Topics like the Bird Censuses or Christmas Bird Counts. Finally, "Bob's Travels" may give you some ideas for birding expeditions of your own.
